The Old Globe, patterned after the famous British theater, stages more than Shakespeare thanks to its two additional separate venues. Dance programs are put on by Civic Dance Arts and the San Diego Civic Youth Ballet. Catch free Sunday concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion where tunes are played on the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world. Started in 1948, the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater is the longest continuously running puppet theater in the country. The San Diego Junior Theatre was established that same year, making it the nation’s first youth theater program while the Youth Symphony and Conservatory is the U.S.’s sixth oldest continuously operating youth orchestra. In addition to museum-sponsored films, concerts, and dance performances, visitors can be entertained by productions staged at a variety of venues within the park, often by arts organizations headquartered there.
