Welcome to Junior Theatre’s impossibly possible 74th season! We’ve missed you in this year of opposites. We can’t wait to share these stories with you as we look back in appreciation for what we learned and move forward, in hope, together. As part of our 74th season program, San Diego Junior Theatre brings to you the unique production of The Jungle Book, an adaptation from Rudyard Kipling's classic. About the play: Mowgli is rambunctious and curious, scrappy and silly. Sound like a kid you know? This story will keep you perched on the edge of your seat as young Mowgli comes face-to-face with sneaky monkeys, noisy vultures, and his mortal enemy — the tiger Shere Khan. You can enjoy the play from March 4 through March 20 at Casa del Prado Theatre, Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Get tickets here! Ticket prices varying from $16 to $18.

Occupy Thirdspace II: Plástica y palabra en TJ/SD explores the relationship between the visual arts and palabra (word). It documents the history of this relationship from the late 1980s to the present, through the work of artists who have lived and worked in Tijuana and San Diego. Palabra as a concept speaks back to the oppressive function of "Language," as a tool for colonization, assimilation, and exclusion —repurposing, translating, and changing it. Plástica y Palabra represents a collective force of impulses that cross geopolitical, racial, lingual, social, and economic borders. These practices live, give new life, and assign new meaning to their environment. Sonidero Travesura will be performing live at the gallery opening on the Dome terrace. The duo is composed of Tijuana native Omar Lizarraga and Dardin Coria. Date | Saturday, February 19 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Location | San Diego Central Library Opening Reception takes place outside on the 9th floor Dome Terrace. Mask mandates and social distancing are in place. Gallery capacity will be limited to 30 visitors at one time. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit the event's website or contact Bonnie Domingos at (619) 236-5881.
