Dear Friends, I am thrilled to welcome you to the world premiere of the Brodway-bound The First Wives Club — A New Musical. As Chairman of the Board, I am especially proud that the Globe remains on a financial footing to fulfill our commitment of bringing our audiences “Broadway’s Best and San Diego’s Finest” — no easy accomplishment in an unsteady economic climate. Musicals by their nature are always the most expensive productions to mount, especially those built on a larger scale for an eventual home on Broadway. It is only through our donors’ extraordinary generosity to the Annual Fund, and those who make special Season and Production Sponsor gifts, that the Globe is able to keep the curtain rising on world premiere musicals making their debut here. Lou Spisto and senior management have worked hard to closely monitor expenses and cut where we can, while looking for additional income and fundraising opportunities throughout the year in order to safeguard the Theatre. We appreciate your understanding of our continuing need for additional funds in order to meet the inevitable rising costs of producing world-class theatre. It’s what you deserve, and what we expect of ourselves. My great thanks goes out to each and every one of you for your tremendous support of The Old Globe. And now, sit back and enjoy this exciting new production.

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE P7 Program Notes How The First Wives Club Was Founded

IN 1984, BUSINESS CONSULTANT ‘S MARRIAGE BEGINS TO DISSOLVE. . . SHE recalled coming to terms with the disintegration of her marriage: ''I come from a nice middle-class family where you don't get a divorce,'' says Ms. Goldsmith, the author of THE FIRST WIVES CLUB, ''But the next thought I had — honestly — 'Thank God I have my own money.' What she did not foresee was that her divorce proceedings would drag out for six years, eating up much of her cash, and that her husband would end up with both homes and their Jaguar in the bargain. At one point, she says, her capital shrank to less than $40,000 and she had to borrow money from a schoolteacher friend. Even so, she decided to take the plunge into a new vocation famed for its financial insecurity: fiction writing. ''I am not a gambler by nature, but I took a gamble on writing,'' she said. ''I always deeply loved books, and when your life falls apart, you figure, why not follow your bliss?''

SHE READ AN ARTICLE IN IN 1990, when her divorce was IN 1989 MAGAZINE. . . finally settled, it was her main hope for economic salvation.
