The goal of Playhouse Women is to offer members the opportunity to connect with an excting and diverse group of women, a place to expand horizons with prestigious speakers and innovative events, and a forum to help build wider community support for The Laguna Playhouse.
An inaugural "Launch Lunch” was held on September 8, 2006 at Sage at the Coast, to launch this dynamic group of diverse women. The lunch featured the wit, wisdom and practical advice of Keynote Speaker, Dr. Stephanie McClellan, Foundation Director and Advisor to Hoag Womens' Health Services.
