What We Could Not Verify
- No company page stated an age or content advisory or ticket prices. Ask each box office.
- Read by hand 2026-10-23: Moonlight Stage Productions lists REZA: Edge of Illusion on October 24, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. and announces its 47th summer season (two returning musicals and three Moonlight premieres), but the 2027 titles and dates were not on the page read. The California Center for The Arts, Escondido lists many events through May 2027 on its own calendar; see its page. Not confirmed: Welk Resorts Theatre season.
- San Diego Rep: its old web address (sdrep.org) is a parked domain, so it is not linked, and no working official site was found. A search result headed San Diego Union-Tribune, June 7, 2022, says the Rep would suspend operations after 46 years; we did not read the article, so the Rep’s status is not confirmed (checked October 24, 2026). Lyric Opera San Diego: lyricopera.org is the Chicago company, not San Diego; a search overview said Lyric Opera San Diego stopped producing after a 2011 bankruptcy, and an encyclopedia entry also describes the company in the past tense; no official San Diego Lyric Opera site was found, so this stays unconfirmed (checked October 24, 2026). San Diego Opera is covered on its own page.
- San Diego Junior Theatre’s season could not be confirmed and has no page here.
