STOMP STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated,
sexy and utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensa- tion has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instru- ments—matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters and hubcaps—to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. As USA Today says, “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” See for yourself what all the noise is about. April 19-24, Balboa Theatre

The Great American Trailer Park Musical Coronado Playhouse presents this brash and sassy, white-trash off-Broadway hit. It’s a crowd-pleasing, double-wide tale of Pippi, a stripper on the run, who threat- ens to tear apart the marriage of a housewive and her toll-collecting husband.

WARNING: This show contains strong language, adult situations, agoraphobia, road kill, strippers, flan, country rock, blues and disco—it’s everything a trash-talking show should be! “A show that actually lives up to the hype of its title.” —Village Voice.

Groundswell This is a remarkable story which takes
place in post-apartheid South Africa—a taut and gripping psychological thriller fueled by greed, desperation and entitle- ment. Set in a small lodge on a ferociously rocky coast in South Africa, two men plot to convince their lone guest to invest in their diamond-mining scheme. The three men find themselves caught in a power struggle fueled by greed and desperation and will go to any length to secure a chance at a better life. This unforgettable thriller offers a provocative look at a society still haunted by its divided past, and explores the uneasy alliances formed in a community following a revolution. March 12 - April 17, The Old Globe, Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre
