A special honor for a remarkable legacy. 💙 Last weekend, New Village Arts Founder and Executive Artistic Director Kristianne Kurner was presented with a County of San Diego Proclamation by Cipriano Vargas, recognizing her extraordinary contributions to the arts and our community.

For 25 years, Kristianne’s vision, leadership, and belief in the power of theatre has shaped New Village Arts into the artistic home it is today. This recognition feels especially meaningful as we prepare for Kristianne’s final production, AS YOU LIKE IT, starting previews October 16th. Congratulations, Kristianne; everyone send her some love. 💚
