But finding true freedom within our communities, within our families and within ourselves is no easy task. Nor is it easy to reconcile our own freedom with the political, religious and cultural freedoms of others. Happily, the conflict created by our search for freedom makes for great theatre... Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in which I’m delighted to direct Martha Henry, is a play about the yearning to be released from CLASSICCLASSI FILMS imprisonment, as revenge and forgiveness vie OscarWildeCinema.com TM for the upper hand in Prospero’s heart. Erin Shields’s exciting new interpretation of Milton’s Paradise Lost takes an ultra- contemporary look at humanity’s age-old desire for free will – and the consequences of acting on it. I’m very proud that we have the internationally renowned Robert Lepage with us directing Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, a play about early Roman democracy. It is as important to understanding the current state of our democratic institutions as is Shakespeare’s play about the end of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar. Recent events have underlined the need for the iconic story To Kill a Mockingbird to be told, as a powerful reminder that there can be no freedom without justice.

    NOVEMBER 2012 November 17 - December 29 Dr. Seuss Properties TM & (c) 1957 and 2012 Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. All Rights Reserved. Welcome to Welcome to Whoville! We are pleased to be addressing you jointly for the very first time as we launch a new chapter in the history of The Old Globe. We look forward to honoring and building upon this theatre’s cherished traditions by creating extraordinary theatre for you. DOUG GATES No Globe tradition is more beloved than our annual Managing Director Michael G. Murphy with recently appointed production of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. Christmas! We celebrate its 15th Anniversary this year, a milestone that would not have been possible without the support of one very special person. For more than three decades, Audrey Geisel has been close to the heart of The Old Globe, providing support through her kindness, warm smile, charming wit and great generosity. She is a champion of the arts in this community, serving as philanthropist, advocate and leader for many institutions. The production that you see today is on our stage thanks to Theodor Geisel’s creativity and Audrey’s vision and most sincere friendship. Tens of thousands of children have come to know live theatre through the Grinch, and we are grateful to Audrey that each year we are able to mount this production and introduce more young people to this magical art form. We are so proud that for the last 15 years, our audiences have made The Old Globe part of their holiday celebrations.

  • Programming; Providing an Environment for the Growth and Education of Theatre Professionals, Audiences, and the Community at Large
    AUGUST 2016 WELCOME Welcome to the funny, unexpected, and delightfully off-kilter world of Meteor Shower. With this world premiere production, we’re thrilled to continue our ongoing relationship with the brilliant artist Steve Martin. The Globe’s production of Bright Star, Steve and Edie Brickell’s new musical that premiered here in 2014, transferred to Broadway earlier this year, where it was nominated for an impressive five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Next season, the Globe will mount a major revival of Steve’s 1993 play Picasso at the Lapin Agile. We’re glad Steve has found a new artistic home here in San Diego. The Globe is an especially fitting place to premiere Meteor Shower because it is a DOUGLAS GATES California story. Set in Ojai in the 1990s, Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. the play examines a specific moment in the life of our state. It’s a theatrical snapshot of the mores and (kooky) ways of society in Southern California, and though it’s set in the past, it’s eminently recognizable to Californians today. It’s also a pleasure to welcome yet another artistic director of a major regional theatre here at the Globe. Gordon Edelstein is the Artistic Director of Long Wharf Theatre in Connecticut, the great company we’re partnering with to co-produce this show, and the fifth artistic director to helm a show at the Globe this year. And because we know you’re wondering: no, Gordon and Barry are not related, except in their devotion to the wonders of theatre.

  • Acting in the Academy
    Acting in the Academy There are over 150 BFA and MFA acting programs in the US today, nearly all of which claim to prepare students for theatre careers. Peter Zazzali contends that these curricula represent an ethos that is outdated and limited given today’s shrinking job market for stage actors. Acting in the Academy traces the history of actor training in universities to make the case for a move beyond standard courses in voice and speech, move- ment, or performance, to develop an entrepreneurial model that motivates and encourages students to create their own employment opportunities. This book answers questions such as: • How has the League of Professional Theatre Training Programs shaped actor training in the US? • How have training programs and the acting profession developed in relation to one another? • What impact have these developments had on American acting as an art form? Acting in the Academy calls for a reconceptualization of actor training in the US, and looks to newly empower students of performance with a fresh, original perspective on their professional development. Peter Zazzali is Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Kansas.
