San Diego Theatre Month returns in March 2026 with 30-plus discounted performances countywide

A monthlong ticket program expands access to live performance across San Diego County

San Diego Theatre Month is returning for March 2026 with a slate of more than 30 discounted offerings across theatre, music, dance and comedy. The annual program runs March 1–31, 2026, and is produced by the San Diego Performing Arts League in collaboration with playwright Christian St. Croix, who is serving as the initiative’s 2026 artist ambassador.

Participating organizations are offering tickets at three fixed price tiers—$15, $30 and $45—using a single promotional code at checkout. The program’s show listing notes that dates shown reflect when the Theatre Month offer is available and may not match an entire production’s full run. Some offers also extend beyond March, and service fees may apply depending on the venue’s ticketing system.

How the discounts work

Theatre Month purchases are routed through participating companies’ box offices, with the central listing functioning as a directory. The discount is applied per ticket using the code “SDTM26” at checkout. Because each organization controls its own inventory, availability can vary by performance date, seating section and demand.

• Timeframe: March 1–31, 2026

• Price tiers: $15, $30 and $45 tickets (select “2 for $45” offers are also listed)

• Redemptions: Code-based discount applied at the venue’s checkout

Examples from the 2026 lineup

The published lineup spans family programming, comedy formats and classic and contemporary plays, alongside music-driven productions. Among the $15 offers listed are “Seussical” (Feb. 27–Mar. 8), “Where the Mountain Meets the Moon” (Feb. 27–Mar. 14), and National Comedy Theatre performances scheduled throughout March.

At the $30 tier, the listing includes “An Act of God” (Mar. 7–Mar. 29), “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (Mar. 7–Mar. 21), and “Matt & Ben” (Mar. 27–Apr. 25). At $45, examples include “Somewhere Over the Border” (Mar. 4–Mar. 14) and “The Maltese Falcon” (Mar. 4–Mar. 28). The directory also includes select offers scheduled later in 2026, such as “Riverdance” (May 1–3) and “The SpongeBob Musical” (June 10–20), indicating that some discounted allocations are not limited to March performances.

What to know before buying

Because the program aggregates multiple organizations, buyers should confirm venue-specific policies—such as fees, exchanges and seating assignments—during checkout. Theatre Month’s listing also advises that offer dates may be narrower than a production’s full engagement, which can affect scheduling for groups and repeat attendees.

San Diego Theatre Month is scheduled to run March 1–31, 2026, with countywide performances offered at fixed discount price tiers.
