Interview with Alex Stompoly from 'Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern' as it makes its West Coast debut at Broadway San Diego, November 18- 23, 2025.

The concert version of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s bittersweet musical at San Diego State University offered a sharp, soulful rewind through friendship, ambition, and the cost of success.

“Arms and the Man”, the classic George Bernard Shaw play, is currently skewering the romantic ideals of going to battle or falling in love with wit at Lamb’s Players Theatre through November 16th.  Under the sharp and playful direction of Deborah Gilmour Smyth, it turns 19th-century notions of heroism and passion delightfully upside down. It’s brisk, bright, very funny, and may have you craving something chocolate before it’s over.

The 1887 Queen Anne Victorian mansion is equal parts Gothic whimsy and jewel-box museum, which sets the perfect stage for“Poe & More Poe”, Write Out Loud’s annual immersion into the master of the macabre.

“& JULIET,” the pop-fueled musical now shaking up Broadway, San Diego is a jukebox joyride for anyone raised on TRL, Glee, and pure glittery empowerment.

Christopher Durang’s “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” is a riotous blend of sibling rivalry, absurdist farce, and Chekhovian melancholy.  A laugh-out-loud farce with real heart, Director Anthony Methvin finds balance in the absurdity while still landing the emotional punches.

If you’re in the mood for a gloriously over-the-top musical with powerhouse vocals, capes, and chaos, then this “Jekyll & Hyde” at SDMT is your moment.

'Blues for an Alabama Sky' captures both the era’s brilliance and its bruises, grounding its beauty in a lived-in authenticity and a deeply connected five-person cast.

Direct from Broadway, the Tony Award-winning musical SUFFS charges into San Diego with fire, wit, and a powerhouse cast determined to make history sing again.

Interview with Livvy Marcus, who was last in San Diego at the Old Globe and now on the new national tour of SUFFS, playing Doris Stevens. SUFFS is playing at Broadway San Diego through Sunday, October 5th.

“We Lovers” is an imaginative evening that lingers like moonlight long after you leave the clearing. Directed by Kate Rose Reynolds at the Light Box Theatre in Liberty Station.

Diversionary Theatre’s current show, “Manifest Pussy”, is a wild, warm, and deeply human solo show by Shakina Nayfack full of heart, humor, and revelation.

The Renaissance is alive and well at The Old Globe, where “Huzzah!,” a new musical comedy, transforms a modern Renaissance faire into a comedic battleground for family squabbles, financial woes, and the eternal question of how much authenticity is too much.

“All the Men Who’ve Frightened Me, now in its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse through October 12, probes parenthood, inheritance, and identity with humor and tenderness, though its foundation wobbles.

“Thorn and Petal,” Daniel Ian Redman’s new play through History Theatre Co., performed at Trinity Theatre in Mission Valley is an intriguing premise with flashes of humor and heart, though one that still feels like it’s finding its shape.

“Follies” remains a glittering ghost story about theatre itself, what it means to chase applause, and to live forever in memory. With Cygnet’s production, “The Joan” gets its first haunting, and it’s a glamorous one.

Moonlight’s new production brings a beloved animated movie to life on stage with “The Prince of Egypt.” Bringing biblical spectacle to the outdoor stage with a 43-member cast, a 17-piece orchestra, and more dance numbers than you’d think one Exodus story could contain.

Interview with playwright Daniel Redman and director Dr. Katie B. Turner of 'Thorn & Petal' to discuss their journey in bringing this piece to life, reflecting the history, humor, and heartbeat of San Diego.

​​​​​​​The Savannah Bananas and the Firefighters came to do battle at Petco Park last weekend, but it’s not the baseball you may be familiar with seeing there. Baseball is played, but there was also dancing, singing, and many entertaining shenanigans.

At La Jolla Playhouse through September 28, “The Heart” rides its wave with courage, empathy, and a beat that stays with you long after the curtain falls.
