Whether it's a play, a musical, or a concert, the chances are good it will be happening at the Balboa Theatre or San Diego Civic Theatre. Both venues are in close proximity to each other and are managed by San Diego Theatres. It is a powerful combination that delivers highly impressive acts and productions. You can choose from musicals like "Mary Poppins" to such local attractions as the San Diego Chorus to big name musical acts like Herbie Hancock. So buy your tickets and get ready for an unforgettable evening of entertainment as it happens in the spotlight onstage at the Balboa Theatre or the San Diego Civic Theatre.
