Community Nights at The Old Globe, formerly known as Affinity at the Globe, is a festive opportunity for theatre lovers who share an identity to connect over refreshments and conversation before enjoying a Globe production. These community spaces are intended for those who self-identify as a member of a particular community group. The Globe has committed to creating spaces for the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and LGBTQIA+ communities, and invites you to celebrate with the following shows.

Our BIPOC events and LGBTQIA+ events are designed for those who self-identify as part of those communities.

We can’t wait to see you there!
