Busy day at The Globe as the Christmas season is upon us, and they have two holiday shows: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Ebenezer Scrooge's San Diego Christmas. We saw both plays over the weekend & both were excellent! We especially like how Scrooge is updated with recent newsworthy stories. The Grinch themed Christmas tree in their plaza is beautiful too!

We try to come for the annual sensory friendly showing of How the Grinch Stole Christmas each year. The show is great and funny for the whole family to enjoy!

Shakespeare's "All's well that ends well" Great show... all seats in out door venue are great... center stage is best.... acting was great and very well preformed..... suggest to order your INTERMISSION drinks at the beginning of show, so you don't have to wait in line. Bathrooms, clean and well stocked
