"Lynx Theatre Chosen BEST PERFORMANCE GROUP 2007"
- San Diego City Beat Magazine

"The theater is the living archive of the experiences that got us to where we are, then San Diego’s Lynx Performance Theatre has it knocked as a major contributor to that legacy. Founded in 2003 by Al Germani, a San Diego director and choreographer for more than 20 years. What a lot of people might not know is that Germani is a psychotherapist by trade. As such, he has a solid real-life take on the best and worst of the characters in the plays he chooses, and his methods of coaxing those traits from his casts are nothing short of extraordinary. The fare (like Sarah Kane’s Crave and Stephen Adly Guirgis’ Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train) isn’t for everybody; it’s murky and roily, and it comes from our darkest natures. But without question, it tells our story like it is—and that, after all, is theater in its most noble form." - Martin Jones Westlin

Lynx Performance Theatre is dedicated to creating dramatic performance that arouses your heart, nourishes your mind and invigorates your soul.
