North Coast Repertory in Solana Beach is getting back into streaming with its upcoming performance, "Trying," starting March 24 and running through April 18. It is certain to be a gripping, edge-of-your-seat story about the final year of Francis Biddle, the attorney general and chief judge at the Nuremberg trials. "Told with humor, compassion and insight" by director David Ellenstein, it will be a compelling opportunity to enjoy theater at its finest, http://www.northcoastrep.org.

The Old Globe is continuing their radio broadcasts through KPBS-FM 89.5 public radio. On April 23, in celebration of the Bard's birthday, director Barry Edlestein is bringing together the 2017 cast of "Hamlet" for this audio presentation. The time has not been determined. Stay in touch by signing up at http://www.TheOldGlobe.org.

La Jolla Playhouse has a series of projects going under the With Out Walls program, no doubt to help us fit into this "woke" society. Visit http://www.ljp.org should you feel the need to get woke, too.

Broadway San Diego has yet to announce the opening date for this year's season. Just the same, the line-up starts with "The Band's Visit," followed by "1776," "Hades Town," "Hairspray," "Tootsie," "Pretty Woman" and "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Visit http://www.broadwaysd.com for advanced tickets.

One of the oldest theaters in San Diego is The Diversionary theater supporting the LGBTQ community. Their website is http://www.diversionary.org. Nothing is scheduled at the moment.

Naught is shaking loose at The Cygnet Theatre in Old Town yet; however, do sign up for their newsletters. They are recognized for their excellence, and they always find the best singers in town, http://www.thecygnet.com.
