A case study of the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, California was conducted to determine if it was deliberately serving a tourist audience. The quantitative data gathered from zip code ticket reports is followed up with qualitative interviews with the theatre's administrators as well as other arts and tourism administrators from the community to determine how serving tourists versus serving locals affects the impact on the mission of the organization, programming choices, and community support.
