The annual fest of site-specific arts will move to the waterfront amphitheater in April 2023
Two of San Diego’s most popular cultural attractions — La Jolla Playhouse’s roving Without Walls Festival and San Diego Symphony’s new waterfront concert venue, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park — will come together for the first time next spring.
Since the first WOW fest in fall 2013, the event has been staged at multiple locations around town, including on the campus of UC San Diego, in venues around downtown San Diego and at Liberty Station. The festival went digital during the pandemic, then returned this past April to Liberty Station with 22 shows by artists from San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Mexico, Canada and Australia.
Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley said recently that because of the festival’s site-specific nature — where new theater, dance, music, puppetry and spectacle events are created and staged with the host location in mind — WOW will always be on the move to new places.The 1-year-old Rady Shell at Jacobs Park was built by San Diego Symphony with $85 million in private funds on the city’s 3.7-acre Embarcadero Marina Park South.

Designed by Tucker Sadler Architects and Soundforms Design Partners, with landscape architecture by Burton Landscaping, this new outdoor performance space features a 4,800 square-foot stage atop the 3.7-acre Embarcadero Marina Park South in San Diego. The park came as part of a join effort between the San Diego Symphony, which will use it as a performance stage in the summers, and the Unified Port of San Diego.
