The Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival has new staff, new partners and new venues for its 30th season this summer
Last spring, the 29th Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival was well under way at the Lyceum Theatre in downtown San Diego when its founding organization, San Diego Repertory Theatre, collapsed with an insurmountable $2 million of debt.
But even with these offers of support, Salovey said it was herculean effort to cobble together a new management team and festival program. He said it was touch and go for months, but several weeks ago, he and his team saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Salovey has returned in the role of artistic director. JFest’s new managing director is Matt Graber, who served as director of marketing and, later, director of external affairs, at San Diego Rep from 2015-2022 and is now chief marketing officer for San Diego Opera. Joining them as festival advisers are Rebecca Myers, producer of the fest’s 3-year-old Whole Megillah Jewish New Play Festival, and Ali Viterbi, a festival producer and associate artistic director for more than a decade.
“It has given us a freedom that we can make the festival take on different programming and be more ambitious,” Salovey said. “That will be super exciting.”
