MAY 2017 WELCOME JIM COX

y many measures, 2016 was the most successful year in the Globe’s history. We sold more dollars’ worth of tickets and raised more contributed income than in any other year. We sent three shows to Broadway; provided jobs to nearly 700 artists, craftspeople, technicians, and arts administrators; and generated tens of millions of dollars of economic activity in our city. BAll of these are successes that numbers can measure, that metrics can benchmark and count. X number of dollars, Y number of tickets, Z number of people. But what about the successes that defy algebraic representation? Other than through numbers, how can we know when The Old Globe succeeds?

We can know that the Globe is succeeding because we value what it does, and the value we affix to the Globe is our way of measuring it. Values are a lot like numbers. They are palpable, material. We can hold values, we can weigh them, we can assess them. Like numbers, they can guide us. Like numbers, they can tell us whether we are close or far from our goals. And like numbers, values can be stated.

It is our honor to introduce to you a newly articulated Statement of Values that The Old Globe will use to conduct its work moving forward. We generated this statement over nearly two years of work. It has made its way through our Board and our staff. It is being fed into our workflow and our decision-making processes, and it is being applied both internally and externally. We will hold ourselves accountable to these values, ask others to hold us accountable to them, and measure our results by them.

Our values grow out of the ideals that are set forth in the Globe’s Mission Statement. Our new Statement of Values expands upon the Mission, unpacking it and adding detail and nuance to it. We hope you will turn to page 18 in this program and explore both in detail.

The Old Globe believes that theatre matters, and our commitment is to make it matter to more people. We look to our Mission Statement and Statement of Values to guide us in that commitment in the years ahead.

10 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE THE PLAY

Racial tensions increased through the ’50s and ’60s, exploding into social unrest in 1967. Among the largest and most destructive riots in U.S. history, the 12th Street Riot resulted in 43 deaths and over a thousand injuries. The riot contributed to the physical decay of Detroit, leaving some 2,000 buildings destroyed, and it hurt Detroit’s reputation as a desirable place to live and do business.

Through the 1970s and 1980s, oil crises and the growth of the Japanese automotive industry drove Detroit’s automakers deeper into financial trouble, leading them to pull out of American factories at a rapid rate and sending manufacturing work to Mexico and abroad. In so doing, they left the Motor City behind. As Detroit lost jobs, its population shrank: by 2000, the city had only half the number of residents it did in 1950, and nearly one-third of those residents lived in poverty. With shuttering factories, damaged buildings, and empty autoworker neighborhoods, the physical face of Detroit was changing for the worse. Its smaller tax base could no longer support vital social services, property tax revenues plummeted, and financial mismanagement by a bloated city government compounded Detroit’s economic woes. Finally, in 2013, the city became the largest in the nation’s history to declare bankruptcy.

In doing so, Detroit followed on the heels of the major auto manufacturers themselves. As a result of the global recession that began By Danielle Mages Amato in 2008, both Chrysler and General Motors were on the brink of collapse. Both companies declared bankruptcy in 2009 as part of a government bailout to save the American auto industry from total liquidation.

Four years after bankruptcy, Detroit is seeing a resurgence—one that comes with its own set of problems to solve. City native and Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert not only invested heavily in the city, he also fought for government aid to help turn the city For over a century, the city of Detroit has been inextricably tied to the American automotive industry. As the industry prospered, around. Local entrepreneur and billionaire Mike Illich led downtown redevelopment efforts. This spring, the city begins service on Detroit prospered, and as the industry struggled, the city did the same. After a meteoric expansion, the Detroit auto industry quickly its first streetcar system in 60 years. New businesses, many founded by young businesspeople, have sprung up in this changing shrank, sending economic shockwaves through the Motor City and forcing its residents to find new ways to persevere. landscape. As journalist Susan Ager described, “Detroit’s decay is now its engine: Nowhere else in urban America can you do so much with so little money.” However, change brings challenge. Efforts at blight removal have divided Detroiters, as tens of thousands of At the start of the 20th century, when Henry Ford founded the fledgling Ford Motor Company, Detroit was the nation’s 13th largest buildings are targeted for demolition. The city’s public transit still does not serve its poorest residents. And the forces of gentrification city, with a population of 285,000. By 1950, the automotive industry had become a major economic engine nationwide, and Detroit are altering historic neighborhoods—often to the benefit of newcomers and the detriment of longtime residents. was its epicenter. One in every six working Americans worked for the auto industry, either directly or indirectly, and in Detroit alone, nearly 125 auto companies fought for a piece of this major market. Most of those companies lasted only a few years, eventually Through all its upheaval, the spirit of the Motor City continues. The Big Three automakers are still headquartered in Detroit, although clearing way for the Big Three: Chrysler, General Motors, and the granddaddy of the American auto industry, Ford. Just as the Ford only two auto assembly plants remain in the city: Chrysler’s Jefferson North and GM’s Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly. Together those Motor Company shaped the business and technology of automobile manufacturing, it also shaped the demographics of Detroit. Ford’s plants employ fewer than 6,000 people. Though the Big Three remain the region’s largest employers, the future of Detroit may bring high wages and international recruiting drew workers from all other industries to the fore. Like the wave of startup auto manufacturers that took hold in Detroit in the early 20th century, Detroit is corners of the U.S. and around the globe, turning Detroit into now seeing a wave of technology startups. But despite all that has changed, the spirit of the Motor City continues, driving it forward one of the most racially diverse cities in the country. By 1950, into a new century.  Detroit had a population of 1.85 million people, making it the fifth-largest city in the United States.

The rapid growth of the auto industry made it an important target for the union movement. Beginning in the early 1930s, the United Automobile Workers (UAW) began their fight for unionization at the Big Three auto plants. Thanks to grassroots Ford Highland Park Plant in 1910 (left) and 2008. organizing, sit-down strikes, and persistence in the face of violent reprisals from company security, the industry was fully unionized by the mid-1940s. This meant significant benefits for auto workers—unemployment insurance, retirement benefits, and health insurance—that made them among the best-paid workforce in the country. According to Detroit historian Thomas Sugrue, “by the mid-twentieth century, a majority of Detroit residents were homeowners; many autoworkers saved money to send their children to college; and tens of thousands could even afford lakeside summer cottages.” Detroit was a boomtown—a symbol of prosperity for the entire nation.

Unfortunately, the prosperity did not last. Automation led to the loss of tens of thousands of jobs and the closure of factories across the city. Without other manufacturing industries to fuel its economy, Detroit entered a period of decline. The overall population shrank, and the demographics of the city shifted once again.

CRAIG NOEL (Founding Director) was born on August 25, 1915, and in 2015 The Old Globe celebrated the 100th birthday of this theatre legend who was instrumental in cultivating the San Diego arts community. Noel was first appointed director in 1939, directing 15 productions prior to World War II. Since then he directed more than 200 plays of all styles and periods and produced an additional 270 productions. His vision for The Old Globe resulted in the establishment of the Shakespeare Festival and the San Diego Junior Theatre in the late ’40s, the expansion to two theatres in the ’50s, Globe Educational Tours in the ’70s, and Teatro Meta and the Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program in the ’80s. During the 1940s, Mr. Noel served as dialogue director for the 20th Century Fox Studios and was the director of the Ernie Pyle Theatre in Tokyo. Described by Variety as the éminence grise of San Diego theatre, Mr. Noel is one of the few San Diegans to have had an entire year (1987) proclaimed in his honor, and to be named one of San Diego’s “Living Treasures.” He was a founder of the California Theatre Council and a former vice president of the California Confederation of the Arts.

When Justin Davis began his apprenticeship at The Old Globe’s Technical Center in October 2016, he had no shopwork MISSION STATEMENT experience to speak of. He had a background in television and video production, and a passing familiarity with woodworking tools, but the first days were tough. “I’d think, ‘I just can’t do this.’ I’d look at some of the guys who have been here for years, The mission of The Old Globe is to preserve, strengthen, and advance American theatre by: creating theatrical and they had a tremendous amount of experience.” But one of the things he quickly learned was being comfortable with being experiences of the highest professional standards; producing and presenting works of exceptional merit, uncomfortable. “I realized that experience allows you to work your way out of corners—the work here is like figuring out a puzzle.” designed to reach current and future audiences; ensuring diversity and balance in programming; providing an environment for the growth and education of theatre professionals, audiences, and the community at large. Originally from Los Angeles, Davis recently moved to San Diego and was looking for community. “I was broken. I had been in the military, I had been in combat, and I just wanted to move on. There are some things in this life that you can’t just move on from, that you have to address.” He found assistance at Veterans Village San Diego, which helped him deal with his PTSD STATEMENT OF VALUES through therapy in a safe and nurturing environment. It allowed him to transition into civilian life, and when the opportunity came to join The Old Globe, he was ready. “I wasn’t shying away from the public anymore. It gave me a starting point, and it got me into the swing of things.” THE OLD GLOBE BELIEVES THAT THEATRE MATTERS. There were days when he felt overwhelmed or wanted to quit, when his thoughts would turn negative and self-doubt would OUR COMMITMENT IS TO MAKE IT MATTER TO MORE PEOPLE. creep in, but the Globe staff supported and welcomed him into the fold. “There was care in giving me the correct jumping-off point. They showed me how to do things correctly and safely, and pretty quickly it turned to ‘okay, now fly.’” THE VALUES THAT SHAPE THIS COMMITMENT ARE: He quickly began doing tasks in which he had no background, allowing him to expand his skills and build his confidence. TRANSFORMATION “Excellence can’t be rubberstamped. It’s putting all of yourself in the moment to do whatever you’re doing wholeheartedly, and Theatre cultivates imagination and empathy, enriching our humanity and challenging yourself to do the best you can.” connecting us to each other by bringing us entertaining experiences, new ideas, and a wide range of stories told from many perspectives. Davis put all this training to use on a rainy day in the shop when a leak was discovered above a piece of scenery that had just been painted. At first his reaction was to call someone for help, but a colleague in the shop assessed the situation and said, “Well, we’d better get up on the roof to cover the skylight!” This experience was instrumental in changing his attitude about being a problem solver instead of a bystander. “It changed my whole concept of what a problem is. I learned to call on myself INCLUSION first, to not limit my thinking of what I may be capable of doing in a given situation. I measure and solve problems a little The communities of San Diego, in their diversity and their commonality, are differently now. I don’t immediately say to myself, ‘I can’t do it.’ I look at a thing and say, ‘I have skill sets, how can I fix this?’” welcome and reflected at the Globe. Access for all to our stages and programs expands when we engage audiences in many ways and in many places. Davis completed his apprenticeship in February, and he continues to work with the technical crew on Globe productions. The experience has been life-changing. “Doing something you enjoy makes a difference. I love going to the theatre. I love being around theatre people. I love the individual pieces we get to take ownership over. It’s like we’re all little ants rolling our own  EXCELLENCE piece up the hill to make something that matters.” Our dedication to creating exceptional work demands a high standard of achievement in everything we do, on and off the stage. Justin Davis was the first person to complete The Old Globe apprenticeship program.
