SAN DIEGO (February 6, 2025) – As part of its ongoing commitment to make theatre matter to more people, The Old Globe is pleased to announce The 360 Project. The 360 Project is a six-week theatre showcase curated by the Globe’s nationally recognized Arts Engagement Department and will feature a variety of readings and performances from seven local community groups, including TuYo Theatre, Playwrights Project, The Lipinsky Family San Diego Jewish Arts Festival, Asian Story Theater, San Diego Black Artist Collective, Viani’s Performing Arts, and Common Ground Theatre.

The 360 Project, formerly known as Community Access Month, will offer audiences the opportunity to enjoy the full scope of what the San Diego performing arts scene has to offer, from staged readings to fully produced plays.

“Born from our Social Justice Roadmap and a desire to support BIPOC theatre makers, the newly renamed The 360 Project continues to evolve into a celebration of diverse perspectives and storytelling unique to our region,” said Director of Arts Engagement Adena Varner. “We are thrilled to host local organizations and collectives who are boldly telling their own stories with innovation and excellence.”

Performances for these limited engagements run for six weeks only from March 22 to April 27, 2025 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center in San Diego’s Balboa Park (1363 Old Globe Way). Tickets will go on sale February 24, 2025 at noon and will be available online at TheOldGlobe.org, by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE (234-5623), or in person at The Old Globe’s Box Office in Balboa Park. Ticket prices vary for each performance.

Arts Engagement programs at The Old Globe are supported by Beth and Richard Brenner, Elizabeth Cushman, Ann Davies, Pamela Farr and Buford Alexander, Price Philanthropies, Qualcomm, and U.S. Bank. Additional support is provided by supporters of the Arts Engagement Giving Circle.

Financial support for The Old Globe is provided by The City of San Diego. The Theodor and Audrey Geisel Fund provides leadership support for The Old Globe’s year-round activities.

The Tony Award–winning The Old Globe is one of the country’s leading professional nonprofit regional theatres. Now in its 90th year, the Globe is San Diego’s flagship performing arts institution, and it serves a vibrant community by creating theatre that lives beyond the stage. Under the leadership of Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and Audrey S. Geisel Managing Director Timothy J. Shields, The Old Globe produces a year-round season of 16 productions of classic, contemporary, and new works on its three Balboa Park stages. The company’s Summer Shakespeare Festival is internationally renowned, and in 2024 the Globe completed the Shakespeare canon with Edelstein’s landmark production Henry 6. More than 250,000 people annually attend Globe productions and participate in the theatre’s artistic and arts engagement programs. Its nationally prominent Arts Engagement Department provides an array of participatory programs that make theatre matter to more people in neighborhoods throughout the region. Humanities programs at the Globe and around the city broaden the community’s understanding of theatre art in all its forms. The Globe also boasts a range of new play development programs with professional and community-based writers, as well as the renowned The Old Globe and University of San Diego Shiley Graduate Theatre Program. Numerous world premieres—such as 2014 Tony Award winner for Best Musical A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, Bright Star, The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas!—have been developed at The Old Globe and have gone on to highly successful runs on Broadway and at regional theatres across the country.
