Trinity Theatre Company will launch its new theater space off Miramar Road on October 16, 2026. The move follows a three-year residency in a Mission Valley mall location that concluded after the company received a 60-day notice to vacate in July.
Why it matters
Securing a new permanent venue stabilizes the company following a forced relocation and the abandonment of planned expansion efforts in Carlsbad. This facility provides a dedicated space for rehearsals, technical work, and performances, replacing the previous retail-based site.
The new facility spans 9,700 square feet and features a stage measuring 30 feet wide by 28 feet deep. The theater accommodates over 150 seats, though the upcoming production will utilize an 86-seat configuration.
The players
Trinity Theatre Company
This performing arts organization focuses on theatrical productions and community-based youth casting.
The details
After touring 25 venues across San Diego, the company secured the new site and removed a drop ceiling to accommodate specialized lighting, scenery, and curtain rigging. The space includes dedicated music and dance rehearsal rooms, a technical shop, and a green room to support operations.
Timeline
July 2026 marked the start of the 60-day notice period to vacate the former Mission Valley space.
October 16, 2026, serves as the theater opening date and the premiere of the production.
October 25, 2026, is the scheduled end date for the production of Dead Man's Cell Phone.
Market Landscape
The opening of the new San Diego theater follows the closure of the Trinity Theatre Company Mission Valley location, representing a shift from retail-mall settings to a dedicated standalone performance venue. This transition allows the company to move away from temporary commercial leases toward long-term facility investment.
Attendees can now access the company's performances at the new Miramar Road facility starting in mid-October. Tickets for current and future youth-cast productions will reflect this change in venue location.
The takeaway
The transition to a custom-fitted facility highlights the importance of dedicated infrastructure for community arts organizations. Visitors should verify performance locations as the company completes its shift away from former mall-based sites.
