A full list of venues, dates, and times will be announced at a later date.

Julius Caesar is one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. Caesar is beloved by the people of Rome, but after his latest military triumph his hunger for power makes Senators Brutus and Cassius sense a dictator in the making. The honorable Brutus faces a wrenching decision: stage a coup for the sake of country, or stay loyal to Caesar. Experience Shakespeare’s electrifying tale of cunning diplomacy, fast-shifting alliances, and the unpredictable consequences of betrayal.

In an exciting opportunity to further connect with the artistic talent of the binational region, The Old Globe is also hosting a contest to develop the official promotional artwork for this touring production of Julius Caesar, calling artists from San Diego and Tijuana to submit bold, family-friendly digital designs featuring the show's title. This contest invites local talent to collaborate with the Globe's creative team and gain visibility, with the winner receiving a $1,000 stipend and promotional exposure on all marketing materials. All participants will receive two complimentary tickets to see All’s Well That Ends Well or The Comedy of Errors, part of The Old Globe’s 2025 Summer Shakespeare Festival under the stars in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. The artwork contest is now open through Monday, June 30, 2025.

Since the inception of the Globe for All Tour in 2014, approximately 16,000 community members have experienced a performance. These tours offer free-of-charge admission to shows in nontheatrical venues such as gymnasiums, cafeterias, shelters, senior centers, refugee community centers, military installations, and correctional facilities, and give audiences an intimate and compelling theatrical experience that fosters a shared sense of connection between performers and audiences. The majority of attendees are experiencing live theatre for the very first time.

What is Globe for All?

The Old Globe tours a professional theatre production around community partners in San Diego and Tijuana for free performances, workshops, talkbacks, and catered meals. The fall tour is a three-week Shakespeare tour designed and directed for the road. The spring tour is a one-week tour of a show from our mainstage that is adapted for travel. Since the program’s inception in 2014, approximately 15,900 community members have experienced a Globe for All Tour.

Performed free of charge in non-theatrical venues such as gymnasiums, cafeterias, shelters, senior centers, refugee community centers, military installations, and correctional facilities, these productions give audiences an intimate and compelling theatrical experience that fosters a shared sense of connection between performers and audiences. The majority of attendees face barriers to accessing professional performing arts and often experience live theatre for the very first time.
