Exploring the Jewish Experience
As a part of the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture, this should be your first stop when seeking to immerse yourself in artistic expression and creativity. The Gotthelf Art Gallery preserves Jewish culture and heritage and nurtures new creativity in the art. Come see for yourself.
JCompany Youth Theatre
JCompany Youth Theatre does not inspire and create theatrical triple threats; it inspires and creates theatrical quadruple threats: multi-talented, well-rounded performers who can act, sing, dance, and who live and breathe compassion. This award-winning theatre provides an opportunity for children, ages 4 through 18, to learn under–and be inspired by–seasoned industry professionals.
