Terra Nova
Inukshuk Productions
at 6th @ Penn Theatre (Hillcrest)

An extraordinarily inventive play first presented by the Yale Repertory Theatre and then produced to national acclaim at the renowned Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Dealing with the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of Robert Falcon Scott, the play employs an ingenious free-form construction to capture the sweep-and personalities-crucial to this compelling study of heroism in the face of bitter failure. "[A]n impressive first work..." -The Hollywood Reporter. "[E]xplores the heart of courage in a white hell of adversity." -Time. "Mr. Tally is a most literate writer." -NY Times.
Friday 8:00pm - $15.00 Available Now

SDSU School of Music and Dance

2 by 5
Coronado School of the Arts
at Coronado High School Theatre (Coronado)

A musical cabaret and celebration of the songs of Broadway greats John Kander and Fred Ebb, the talented "2," as performed (originally) by "5" actors, thus the title. Filled with humor, romance and insightful lyrics, the show is a thrilling celebration of life and the fighting spirit that keeps us all going.
Friday 7:00pm - $10.00 Available Now

Urinetown The Musical
SDSU School of Theatre, Television and Film
at Don Powell Theatre (College Area)

Note: These are vouchers. Assigned seats can be picked up at the venue about a half hour before.
"Urinetown" presents a parody of musical theatre by referencing the many different styles of dance and music used throughout the genre's history. While the show toys with the ridiculousness of the plot, it also presents a rather serious look on potential outcomes of some current ecological and political problems. Though lighthearted in nature, the message of "Urinetown" will ring alarmingly clear: Idealism and Good Intentions are insufficient responses to political and environmental problems.

Friday 8:00pm - $10.00 Available Now


Friday's Full-price Tickets

Miss Julie
Sledgehammer Theatre
at Tenth Avenue Theatre (Downtown)

Adapted and directed by LA theatre wunderkind Josh Chambers, Miss Julie uses August Strindberg's original text as "found shards" of narrative in which to reshape and deface the story of the sexual and social clash between two servants and their mistress on Midsummer's Eve. Set in Southern California in 2008, Miss Julie aims to distort time and space and to meld character and location in order to create an episodic, collage-driven theatrical spectacle.

A Little Night Music
Cygnet Theatre Company
at Old Town Theatre (Old Town)

One of Broadway's seldom produced masterpieces, "A Little Night Music" is sophisticated, literate and stylish, but also disarmingly warm, funny, charming and very human.
