What We Could Not Verify

  • The street address was not on the page read; the map point is approximate.
  • Ebenezer Scrooge’s BIG San Diego Christmas Show (November 20 to December 27) is not listed above because its age suitability was not stated.
  • The Old Globe’s own pages loaded without text, so ticket prices were not read.
