You know you’re pretty special when painting the Mona Lisa is the least of your accomplishments!
Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest thinkers of all time. Now Tony Award winner and MacArthur
Genius Grantee Mary Zimmerman (The White Snake, Metamorphoses) shapes a genre-busting play
entirely from da Vinci’s own notebooks. A cast of chameleon-like actors takes us on a journey through
da Vinci’s mind as he considers everything from math and engineering to philosophy and love.
Created by one of the most acclaimed artists working in the American theatre, this unique and
breathtaking show that The New York Times called “a fun house of the mind” illuminates what it truly
means to be a Renaissance man.

individuals coming together to find hope, healing, love, and the occasional homerun.

Mexico City, 1968. Two Black American sprinters, the fastest men on Earth, raise their fists in protest.
Inspired by real events from the historic 19th Olympic Games, and directed by Carl Cofield (Seize the
King, The Bacchae), this suspenseful world-premiere play by Kemp Powers (Pixar’s Soul, One Night
in Miami) chronicles the intersection of sports and activism, and shows the life-changing repercussions

It’s 1999, and Ami is an awkward Asian American high schooler whose world comes crashing down
with a terrible discovery: her family is responsible for manufacturing MSG, the mysterious ingredient
getting all the kids hooked! Meanwhile, a cool new girl arrives from Japan, and she’s not playing by
the rules. In Keiko Green’s world-premiere play, Ami vows to redeem her family name and save the
world from MSG. This whimsical, time-traveling adventure, directed by the celebrated Jesca
Prudencio, is a riotous and hilarious romp through wild teenaged crushes, family legacies, and the

The joys, tribulations, and plot twists of epic love are bursting onstage in this brilliantly funny homage
to the telenovela by Karen Zacarías (Native Gardens). On a stormy night in Bellarica, Mexico, two
babies are born—one into a life of outlandish wealth, and one into a life of poverty. When the newborns are swapped by a ruthless ex–beauty queen, the stage is set for two outrageous misfortunes to grow into an extraordinary destiny. Directed by Tony Award winner Ruben Santiago-Hudson (August Wilson’s Jitney) and filled with vibrant choreography and live music, Destiny of
Desire explores the emotional rollercoaster and social commentary that make the telenovela the most
popular form of storytelling on the planet.

One of Shakespeare’s most perfect plays—romance, music, poetry, comedy, swordplay, and more!
Shipwrecked and alone in foreign Illyria, young Viola masquerades as her lost twin brother and
becomes the go-between for the lovesick Duke Orsino and the beautiful Countess Olivia. Soon Viola finds herself in the middle of a topsy- turvy love triangle with lunacy and laughs on every side. Three-
time Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (Globe’s Much Ado About Nothing, Love’s Labor’s Lost) directs Twelfth Night, one of the Bard’s true comic masterpieces—and the perfect San Diego night under the stars.

Shakespeare meets “I Love Lucy” in this 1950s spin on one of the Bard’s wildest and most appealing
comedies. The notorious John Falstaff, larger-than-life in every way, leaves the big city to work his
charms on the suburban inhabitants of Windsor. Always hustling for his next buck, he sets his sights
on two of Windsor’s ladies-who-lunch, but when they figure out Falstaff’s game, they decide to teach
him a lesson he won’t forget. Under the direction of Globe Resident Artist James Vásquez, mistaken
identities, romance, and an unforgettable gallery of Shakespeare’s most vivid characters fill the stage
for a theatrical rollercoaster ride that’s raucous, kooky, and entirely bewitching.

Dostoyevsky’s turn-of-the-century masterpiece is reimagined as a 90-minute romp of a morality tale,
performed by five ridiculously talented actors who play over 50 zany characters, riffing on the famous
novel—and all of Russian literature. The brilliant comic team of Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen
(Ebenezer Scrooge’s BIG San Diego Christmas Show) brings to 1860s Russia the same whacked-out
sensibility they gave to Dickens in this world-premiere, Globe-commissioned comedy. This classic
story follows Raskolnikov, an impoverished student who becomes a murderer in order to save his
family. Based on the book you didn’t actually read in high school, this is literature retold like you’ve
never seen it before.
