Latest news: Gridiron 2025

Grab your Chanclas!

The time is dangerously near!

The San Antonio Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists is delighted to announce that its band of somewhat loopy, off-off-off-OFF Broadway wannabes is once again plotting to put on the ever-popular Gridiron Show! Gridirion 2025 will be Saturday, Sept. 27, 2025, at the beautiful Buena Vista Theater on the UTSA downtown campus. Two shows, folks: 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale!

The show funds scholarships for the region’s top journalism students. It’s like our 40th anniversary (they do say the memory is the first to go, y’know). Join us as we poke fun at the news of the day (and ourselves!) for a good cause. As always, Gridiron is an all-original production written, produced and performed by San Antonio media professionals of all ages and levels of expertise. It’s a live musical comedy show that features local satire you won’t find anywhere else, taking friendly digs at politics and local news events – imagine a San Antonio version of Saturday Night Live.

This year the theme is something many don’t dare mention in mixed (read: political) company but we like to call it: Dangerously Entertaining & Irreverent. You’re gonna love it! (Or maybe hate it. But mostly, we know, you’ll be laughing at us — go ahead, it’s OK, we encourage it.)

See you there! Or be square …

About Us

This is the San Antonio chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists, the oldest organization representing journalists in the United States.

There are numerous levels for joining the organization. If you spend more than half your time working as a journalist or journalism educator, you qualify for the professional levels, ranging from $37.50 for students and retirees to $1,000 for a lifetime membership.

If you don’t meet the professional requirement, you can still join as a supporting member for just $20 annually. Joining the San Antonio chapter is an additional $10 per year and can be added when you sign up for membership in the national organization.

SPJ-SA hosts an annual fundraiser called Gridiron, an SNL-style performance that raises money for our scholarship recipients. Visit the scholarships tab for information on applying for our annual student scholarships.
