We just enjoyed HANDS ON A HARDBODY and the hand stinging from clapping hasn't quite subsided yet! Ok, my husband has always had a truck in Seattle and Tucson, so we were already partial to the 16th Cast Member (a Nissan). The unlikely story line following of 10 contestants in a "Win This Truck" competition seems a little thin on... More

Jersey Boys, Memphis, Jesus Christ Superstar... this is a great theatre where you can see the hits of the future, and say, "I saw it before it opened!" Rush tickets are available, and performances are available throughout the year. A San Diego secret, and a beautiful location. Parking is only about two bucks. More

As a season ticket holder, I like almost all the plays that play here. I'm not as impressed with the new Potiker theater as some but the main stage, Mandell Weiss theater is always good and no bad seats in the house. We have seen many plays that start here and go on to Broadway which speaks for itself on... More

While in La Jolla for a week, we decided to check out the local playhouse. At the time, they were presenting a contemporary piece, a part of their "Without Walls" presentations, which actually took place at the San Diego Botanic Garden. All we knew when we bought tickets was that it was outside and that it involved iPods. Never in... More

Visited this theater to take relatives to see Jesus Christ Superstar. Already had seen the show originally at the Stratford Festival in Canada, but the performances were simply spectacular. It's now headed to Broadway, and if anyone reads this and happens to be in New York beginning this March they should get tickets. The Playhouse is a very cozy small... More
