Modeled after Shakespeares own theaters, this San Diego establishment is actually part of a complex of three theaters also including the Cassius Carter Centre Stage and the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. Sadly, the 1935 original Globe has been replaced since it was destroyed by fire, though it appears that the renovation is a success. In 1984, the 581-seat replica won a Tony award for best regional theater. Predictably, the theater is home to an annual Shakespeare festival, but it is open year round. It also hosts much more than the classics. Its focus is actually the opposite – opening new plays.

"This is a fun theater. It’s modelled on the Shakespeare Globe Theater, so of course it’s most fun to see Shakespeare there! You can pretend it’s the 1500s again, if you want (or the 1600s, it’s your choice The theater isn’t too big, so nobody is too far from the stage. They show some great plays here, and it’s in Balboa Park, which is just beautiful. It’s a great setting for a play! Definitely go see a performance here if you get the chance!"
