Launer said she's seen many changes in San Diego's theater community over the past four decades

For nearly 40 years, Pat Launer has been a mainstay in San Diego’s arts community as one of the city’s longest-serving theater critic. Over the years, she has written roughly 5,000 reviews and 500 preview features, and she has worked for 19 different news outlets, most prominently a 20-year tenure at KPBS Radio and TV.

As for my time at SDSU, I really enjoyed teaching; it’s theater. I always tried to be entertaining. Between my humor and my loud voice, no one ever fell asleep in my classes. I taught graduate and undergraduate classes, and supervised in the clinic for speech, hearing and language disorders. For seven summers, I ran a preschool on the campus, integrating children with speech/language problems with children with effective communication skills.

I really like small, intimate theaters. One of my favorites right now is the 60-seat, storefront OnStage Playhouse in Chula Vista, helmed by James P. Darvas, a formidable producer and director. He likes choosing politically relevant and thought-provoking plays, and I admire that. I also admire the La Jolla Playhouse for taking the risk of producing several seasons of only new work.
