Upcoming AXIS Events

Realizing our commitment to making theatre matter to more people, AXIS offers free cultural programs on the Globe’s Copley Plaza, led by local artists and craftspeople. The Globe’s unique physical location—and now our social media platforms—are participatory art venues where we make opportunities for connectivity and creative placemaking. AXIS is an effort to broaden our concept of audience by encompassing diverse, multigenerational constituencies from communities across San Diego County.

This year’s lineup includes:

• Tuesday, November 2, 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.: Día de Muertos/Day of the Dead Celebration
• Saturday, December 11, 8:30 – 10:00 a.m.: Grinch Sensory-Friendly
