Since 1987, we’ve commissioned and developed new plays each year for young people that tours schools, community centers and libraries throughout San Diego County. A typical year includes a live 45-minute in-school performance and classroom curriculum. We won’t miss a beat this year with a virtual option to stream the POP Tour (in chapters if needed) and offer curriculum lessons and videos featuring Playhouse teaching artists on our website.
This year’s POP Tour, Pick Me Last, is written by Idris Goodwin and directed by Jacole Kitchen, and will highlight the importance of inclusivity at school. It is recommended for students in elementary through 6th grade.
Jacole Kitchen is the Playhouse’s Director of Arts Engagement and In-House Casting. Idris Goodwin is a multidisciplinary arts leader and creative community builder. Across two decades, he has forged a multifaceted career as an award-winning playwright.
We are looking forward to sharing the joy of the POP Tour with thousands of students virtually this year.
