There are few phrases in literature more quietly unhinged than “I would prefer not to.” And in Fiasco Theatre’s ' Bartleby, now playing at The Old Globe through March 22, that polite little sentence lands like a stick of dynamite in an otherwise well-oiled office machine....

The Broadway National Tour of Beetlejuice has landed in San Diego through March 1. The “ghost with the most” is back for a limited run, promising laughs, cringe-worthy humor, and dazzling set and projection design that fully delivers on the spectacle of a Broadway tour....

Jaha Ling led the San Diego Symphony’s first performance of Mahler’s seventh symphony in 2014, more than a century after the orchestra was founded. He called it “the most modern of all Mahler symphonies.”
Many critics have made similar judgements, the more conservative among them meant it a...

I’ve watched (and loved) enough sci-fi movies to know that any animals kept in a lab eventually come for the humans. Monkeys. Sharks. Dinosaurs. So you can’t blame me for being deeply suspicious of the bees in the lab in 'The Apiary” now playing at New Village Arts through February 22, 2026....
