OSP's Current Show

Swing State

Dates: January 15th – February 8th (2026)
By: Rebecca Gilman

Description: Recently widowed, Peg tends to the 40 acres of native prairie that rises behind her rural Wisconsin home. Her solitary days are interrupted only by visits from Ryan, a family friend with a checkered past. When her late husband’s footlocker is ransacked in her barn, she places a call to the local authorities—unwittingly setting off a series of events that will forever change their lives. As Peg and Ryan fight to regain each other’s trust, they learn how to help one another in a new and meaningful way and how to forge a sense of hope in a time when it feels like everyone’s way of life is in danger of disappearing.

We need your support to make it “To the Finish Line!”The clock is ticking: without your help, our doors will close in two months, cutting our season short. As the only live theatre in the South Bay, we are a vital cultural hub dedicated to investing in local artists—from playwrights and designers to the actors on our stage. However, skyrocketing overhead, rent increases, and dwindling grant opportunities have put our current season in jeopardy.We refuse to let the curtains fall early. Your critical donation will directly bridge the gap, keeping our doors open and our community vibrant. Help us cross the finish line and sustain local art. Donate today to take OSP to the finish line! #southbay #onstageplayhouse #theatre #arts #sandiegotheatre ... See MoreSee Less

Some productions entertain you for an evening. Others stay with you long after the lights come up. The Velocity of Autumn by Eric Coble at OnStage Playhouse has been striking a chord with audiences through its sharp humor, emotional honesty, and deeply complicated portrait of family, aging, identity, and connection.Directed by Daren Scott and featuring unforgettable performances from Linda Benning and James P. Darvas, this intimate production is the kind of theatre that sparks conversations in the car ride home, over dinner afterward, and days later when certain moments suddenly come back to you.Tonight is our final night to tell this story... but we know it’s going to stick with us.🎭 The Velocity of Autumn by Eric Coble🗓 TONIGHT! At 5pm🎟 Get Your Tickets at OnstagePlayhouse.Org📸 Photos by Daren Scott ... See MoreSee Less
