Abandon Ship: Rough Crossing is set in the 1930s on an ocean liner sailing across the Atlantic and tells the story of a musical-comedy writing team and their young, speech-impaired composer, who are on deadline to complete their new piece during their four-day crossing. Their cast – a haughty leading lady and her vain leading man, along with a peripatetic ship steward – aren’t helping matters, and it’s questionable whether the “show will go on” as they rehearse amid mishaps and misunderstandings – and very stormy seas! Rough Crossing is now playing at The Old Globe Theatre, call (619) 231-1941 for information.

Contrasting colors: Blue/Orange tells the tail of Chris, a young black man claiming that his father is Idi Amin, but just might be Muhammad Ali instead.

Blue/Orange is now playing at the Cassius Carter Stage at The Old Globe in Balboa Park call (619) 239-2255 for more information.
