Lucinda Einhouse President and CEO A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS

It’s 1984. September of 1984. The AIDS virus was identified this year. The firstApple Macintosh went on sale to the public. There are no cell phones. Ronald Regan was just about to be re-elected to his second term in office by a large majority. It was all about “trickle down” economics. The Dow Jones Industrial stood at 1,211. Interest rates were 10.75%. The economy was in recovery for the second straight year.

Real estate prices were up and rising. You could get a brick Tudor, three bedroom, all modern appliances with a double garage and sundeck in downtown for $119,000. The median price of a home was $72,400. Seventy US banks failed in 1984 and our national debt amounted to a mere one trillion, five hundred and seventy two billion and a few million in change. Some of you reading this weren’t even born in 1984…so, you need a perspective–a clear perspective. This was our economy. So jump in your 1984 Cadillac which only cost you $20,400 and enjoy tonight’s ride.

About Beck Center

Beck Center for the Arts is proud to be a part of Northeast Ohio’s professional theater landscape. Like our colleagues Playhouse Square, , Dobama Theatre, and Great Lakes Theater, Beck Center has a letter of agreement with Actors’ Equity Association. We hire professional actors from the Northeast Ohio region, including members of Actors’ Equity. Specifically, we are a Small Professional Theater (SPT) based on the number of seats, number of our performances, and the maximum weekly hours of work we provide to actors. We are also a producing theater. We produce every show on our stages. Meaning we choose the play, cast and rehearse it, build the sets, props, and costumes, direct and perform the music, and design lights and sound, utilizing regional resources and talent, all for you, our valued patron of the arts. Thank you for supporting live theater! 2019 - 2020 THEATER SEASON
