Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theatre

Traveling from Asheville, NC, for the San Diego International Fringe Festival, this show is a dramatic conversation between two gay men of different generations, comparing life stories, with a Freaky Friday twist.
It is based on stories from the actors' lives, including the exploration of what it means to be close friends. Being vulnerable with each other (in front of an audience, of course) brings them to a dynamic shift.
This is a serious comedy from two funny, deep-thinking and -feeling guys, who love bringing real life, with a healthy degree of fantasy, to the stage. The show won the "Pushing the Boundaries of Storytelling" award at Asheville Fringe Arts Festival 2025.

Zarzuela comes to San Diego!
A passionate beauty sways the hearts and political leanings of two men as Spain is torn between monarchy and revolution in Federico Moreno Torroba’s “Luisa Fernanda.”
This fiery yet romantic drama is a great example of Zarzuela, a unique Spanish art form incorporating classical singing as well as spoken words to tell stories of the people. “Luisa Fernanda” was written in 1932, and it has been one of the most beloved Zarzuelas ever since.
