In an original story by Bluey creator Joe Brumm, with new music by the series composer Joff Bush, Dad would like a little time out on his bean bag, and Bluey and Bingo use every game and clever trick they have to get him up again. The Heeler family is played with large puppets operated on stage, which makes it a gentle first theater outing for preschoolers and early-elementary fans of the show. There are five performances across Friday evening and two shows each on Saturday and Sunday, at 1 PM and 6 PM. Every person needs their own ticket, including babies and toddlers, and tickets are sold only through the theater's site, Ticketmaster or the Balboa Theatre box office. The venue is cashless and recommends arriving an hour early for security; balcony seats require stairs. ## Similar picks in San Diego - [Thanksgiving Break Camp at San Diego Junior Theatre (Balboa Park)](https://grassyknees.com/san-diego/activities/thanksgiving-break-camp-at-san-diego-junior-theatre-balboa-park--listing-031c193765d37aa245ab6255) — Ongoing · San Diego Junior Theatre, Casa del Prado, Balboa Park · Ages 5–12 · From $250 · checked Oct 30.
