Over the course of 90 fascinating (and often funny!) minutes, the audience will witness the professional & personal trials that crafted Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the icon we know today. Despite obstacles like losing her mother the day before her high school graduation, to studying law at Harvard while raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer, to fighting for women’s rights in front of all-male courts in the 1970s, and more, a compassionate face of straight-thinking American justice emerges from it all.
This new play, written by Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes, is a joyful heart-to-heart with a true American original. The creative team is completed by director Laley Lippard and actress Michelle Azar, starring as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“All Things Equal – The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg” is proudly presented by San Diego Theatres at Balboa Theatre in the Gaslamp District on March 23-24, 2023. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster. We hope you join us for this special pre-Broadway engagement!

Balboa Theatre
Built in 1924, the historic Balboa Theatre was an elegant vaudeville and movie palace in the heart of downtown San Diego. At the time, it was a state-of-the-art building that included six storefronts along Fourth Ave., with 34 offices on the floors above. Starting in 1986, the Balboa Theatre had been closed for over 20 years. After numerous efforts to privately renovate and reopen the Theatre, the commitment was made in 2002 to retain the historic Balboa Theatre as a public asset with the City's Redevelopment Agency funding its renovation and restoration and reopening the Theatre as a community performing arts center to be managed and operated by San Diego Theatres. The City of San Diego's Redevelopment Agency has invested over $26 million into the Balboa Theatre's renovation and restoration. This has included extensive seismic retro-fit to meet current requirements, complete replacement of all infrastructure systems including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, ADA accommodations, state-of-the-industry theatrical lighting, audio, rigging and production requirements, and audience accommodations including new seating. The project has embraced and restored the historic finishes and appearance of the Balboa Theatre while incorporating current audience and production expectations to ensure its use for generations to come. The historic Balboa Theatre reopened in January 2008 with much acclaim from audiences and performers. Additionally, it has received numerous special awards and recognition on a local, state and national professional organizations.
