San Diego Junior Theatre

The San Diego Junior Theatre originally began as a program of San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre in 1948. Today, it is the oldest continuing children’s theatre program in the country and has entertained over a million theatergoers. With classes at Balboa Park’s Casa del Prado and in North County at the La Jolla YMCA Firehouse, the Theatre is committed to providing engaging, innovative, high-quality theatre education and productions for children of all cultural heritages, ages, abilities and levels of interest. Although notable alumni include celebrities such as Dennis Hopper, Raquel Welch, and Annette Bening, the program’s dedication to providing quality education and building self-esteem has helped produce capable citizens in many fields of endeavor.
