The Coronado Playhouse, the oldest community theatre in San Diego County, is an intimate, 100-seat cabaret-style theatre with a full service bar. Catered dinners, at an additional cost, are available opening nights and for some holiday shows. The new venue which opened in 2006 with its state of the art equipment still overlooks beautiful Glorietta Bay. Season ticket holders can reserve their tables a year in advance for every show. The playhouse is dedicated to providing quality entertainment with a combination of delightful classic comedies, dramas, and mysteries, dazzling musicals and colorful free Shakespeare.

The Wild Party for two

A bottle of champagne & chocolates

$60 per couple, Feb. 11 – 14

The Wild Party is an experience. An experience you should have. These people are not people you might even have as friends. They define the term decadent. It certainly is a quantum leap from traditional fare. Thirteen guests include a theatre producer, a hooker, a married couple, a semi-reformed prostitute, various lovers, a prize fighter and a lesbian madam and her friend. Oh, and a couple of guys of dubious sexuality. This is a one musical not for the faint of heart. It is fun. It is totally outrageous. This show is recommended for mature audiences for language and content.
