On Saturday, March 14, at 1 p.m., the Coronado Public Library will welcome the La Jolla Playhouse Performance Outreach Program (POP) Tour for a special free performance of Colorín, Colorado, a heartwarming family-friendly play geared for those in grades 3-7, but open to all.
The story follows Georgie, a shy fourth-grader with a hidden talent for guitar who panics when asked to read aloud in class and lands in the principal’s office. There she meets Inez, a fearless and curious classmate who becomes an unexpected friend. As Georgie worries about her grandfather in the hospital, she discovers an old story he once wrote about two magical creatures, Goyo and Gato. With Inez’s encouragement, Georgie finds the courage to face her fears and bring the story to life just in time for the Festival de Primavera. In the end, talents are discovered, a family bond is deepened, and the story finds its perfect ending: ¡Colorín, Colorado, este cuento se ha acabado!
The performance is part of La Jolla Playhouse’s Performance Outreach Program, one of the theater’s signature education initiatives. Launched in 1987, the POP Tour brings world-premiere productions created by the Playhouse directly to schools, libraries, and community spaces across San Diego County. Designed especially for students in grades three through six, the program combines live theater with interactive learning opportunities that encourage creativity, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the arts.
Seating is first-come, first-seated at this free event. Learn more at cplevents.org.
