In the waning hours of the autumn dusk, a SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) was maneuvered through the air by a crane, almost as if it were underwater, and inserted into the 2nd story window of the Navy SEAL Museum San Diego (NSMSD) on Kettner Blvd in downtown San Diego. This will be one of the many exhibits on display to visitors when the museum opens in the summer of 2025. On Thursday, April 17, 2025, the museum’s Executive Director, Brian “Beef” Drechsler, Captain, USN (Retired) will visit the Coronado Historical Association to provide an update on the Museum’s exciting progress. He will highlight aspects of the visitor experience and its many unique attributes like a virtual reality module, giving museum visitors a sense of what a real SEAL mission is like from mission planning to extraction. Join us for an official “sitrep” on the opening of NSMSD, a venue of inspiration, reverence, and education that honors the service of the Frogmen, from World War II to the present day to learn more about this exciting new community resource and attraction.

From the theater: January 25 - February 23 Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage Old Globe Theatre Conrad Prebys Theatre Center San Diego premiere By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Directed by Steve H. Broadnax III The comic drama from Pulitzer Prize finalist Branden Jacobs-Jenkins that The New York Times called “subversively original… remarkable and devious.” The estranged siblings of the Lafayette family gather to settle their late father’s Arkansas estate. Amid the clutter they uncover a shocking relic, forcing them to confront long-buried secrets and decades of resentment. As tensions boil over and the cicadas roar, the family faces unsettling truths about their past and how it has shaped them. Directed by Steve H.
