Balboa Park is home to so many wonderful things – The World Famous San Diego Zoo, the many fantastic museums, The Japanese Gardens AND The Old Globe Theater(s). The best part is that you can experience a cultured night out and be your casual San Diego self. Here’s what’s happening in September at The Old Globe:
Corialanus
CORIOLANUS Through Sept. 25. This powerful political drama tells the story of the great Roman general whose arrogance leads to his own downfall. One of Shakespeare’s most provocative plays, Coriolanus is a mesmerizing tale that unfolds as both personal tragedy and political thriller.

Twelfth Night
TWELFTH NIGHT
Though Sept. 26. Uproariously funny, Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identity will titillate and tickle. Shipwrecked on the rocky coast of Illyria, the beautiful and plucky Viola disguises herself as a man to protect her honor in this strange land, and finds employment as a page in the court of the lovesick Duke Orsino. But just as Viola falls in love with her new boss, the beautiful Olivia – whom Orsino is pursuing – finds herself attracted to this new young man, who’s really Viola in disguise.

Cyrano De Bergerac
CYRANO DE BERGERAC
Through Sept. 27. This big and audacious production is equal parts drama, comedy, action-adventure and old fashioned love story. Cyrano de Bergerac follows the story of Cyrano, poet, war hero and philosopher, he is the man who has it all – except for the woman of his dreams.
