Spend the upcoming weekend in San Diego enjoying everything California’s Beach City has to offer including these top things to do.
The Wanderers
When: April 6 – May 6, 2018
Where: The Old Globe – 1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, CA 92101
A Globe-commissioned world premiere from the celebrated writer of The Last Match. Esther and Schmuli are shy young Orthodox Jews embarking on an arranged marriage, despite barely knowing each other. Abe and Julia are high-profile celebrities embarking on a dangerously flirtatious correspondence, despite being married to other people. On the surface, the lives of these two couples couldn’t be more different. But Anna Ziegler’s funny, insightful, and mysterious new drama explores the hidden connections between seemingly disparate people, drawing audiences into an intriguing puzzle and a deeply sympathetic look at modern love.
Septime Webre’s The Great Gatsby
When: April 6-8, 2018
Where: San Diego Civic Theatre – 1100 Third Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
Return to the splendor of the Jazz Age and the frivolity of the Roaring Twenties with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s passionate, thought-provoking, and complex The Great Gatsby.
Elgar Cello Concerto
When: April 6-7, 2018
Where: San Diego Symphony – 1245 Seventh Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
Edward Elgar’s final significant composition is at the heart of this program, a cornucopia of orchestral colors and national textures. Rising young Romanian cellist Andrei Ioniţă performs Elgar’s by turns confident and darkly introspective masterpiece, a reflection of the composer’s extreme ambivalence about an England forever altered by war. The program is rounded out by a neglected but brilliant French impressionist ballet score by Claude Debussy, an orchestral concerto of Hungarian themes by Zoltán Kodaly and a blazing rhapsody of Romanian music by George Enesco.
La Jolla Concours d’Elegance
When: April 7-8, 2018
