LA JOLLA, CALIF.: La Jolla Playhouse has announced the projects and collaborators for its second site-specific Without Walls (WoW) Festival, which will take place Oct. 9–11. The 2015 WoW Festival will feature more than 20 events scheduled in and around the UC San Diego and La Jolla Playhouse theatre district.

“Our inaugural Without Walls Festival in 2013 exceeded our wildest expectations, demonstrating that San Diego audiences continue to have a voracious appetite for one-of-a-kind experiences that transform our customary idea of theatre,” said artistic director Christopher Ashley in a statement.

The festival begins with the West Coast premiere of Liz Lerman’s Healing Wars (Sept. 29–Oct. 25), an exploration of how soldiers and healers cope with the physical and psychological wounds of war. Healing Wars is the first WoW production to be part of the La Jolla Playhouse’s subscription series. Lerman will choreograph and direct.
