Review: KHACHATURIAN’S EXUBERANT VIOLIN CONCERTO at Jacobs Music Center

by Ron Bierman · October 15, 2026

It was an unusual night for San Diego and its symphony orchestra.

Review: OH, MARY! at San Diego Civic Theatre

Review: OH, MARY! at San Diego Civic Theatre

by Lucía Serrano · October 2, 2026

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Moonlight Stage

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Moonlight Stage

by ErinMarie Reiter · September 18, 2026

 Come From Away is a show about the ripple effect of kindness. You do not have to save the world to make a difference. Fred Rogers famously told us to “look for the helpers.”  Perhaps that is why this particular musical continues to feel so welcome: In a world that can sometimes feel determin…

Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Cygnet Theatre

by ErinMarie Reiter · September 13, 2026

Cygnet Theatre’s 'Dear Evan Hansen' cast is terrific; the technical elements are beautifully integrated, and the emotions land exactly where they are meant to.
