Cygnet Theatre celebrated the grand opening of The Joan and Irwin Jacobs Performing Arts Center (The Joan) – a visionary adaptive project and Cygnet Theatre’s new state-of-the-art contemporary permanent home at Arts District Liberty Station.  The organization reimagined the historic Navy Building 178 into a world-class performance venue and unparalleled arts and cultural destination in San Diego. It is now a stunning 42,166-square-foot creative hub, uniting offices, rehearsal spaces, and performance stages under one roof. As a tribute to the late philanthropist Joan Jacobs, The Joan marks the next chapter for Cygnet Theatre San Diego.
