Primary Trust

Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

Happy hour is a state of mind.

When Primary Trust by Eboni Booth premiered in New York in 2023, The Observer said, “it will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.” The Daily Beast said it’s “pretty darn near to perfect.” Don’t miss the West Coast premiere of this award-winning New York Times Critic’s Pick play that will surprise you, and fill you with hope. 

Kenneth, a 36-year-old bookstore worker in a small upstate New York town, spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar with his best friend Bert. When he’s suddenly laid off, Kenneth faces challenges he has long avoided—with transformative and heart-warming results. Primary Trust is a touching story of new beginnings, old (and new) friends, and finding the courage to see the world for the first time.

Killer Queen

Jun 19, 2024 - ongoing

Killer Queen will rock San Diego once again!  
  
Formed back in June 1993, their first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen, who played their first shows there 21 years earlier. 
  
By 1995, Killer Queen's UK popularity had grown to such an extent they secured a residency in London's Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage - the first tribute to have a show in the West End. Since then, the band's reputation has continued to grow, both in the UK and abroad. 
   
Killer Queen: A Tribute to Queen is proudly presented by San Diego Theatres at Balboa Theatre on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Tickets are available via San Diego Theatres and Ticketmaster.
