I am pleased to welcome you to The Old Globe and the world premiere of Alive and Well. The Globe’s ability to continue presenting theatre of the highest caliber, which includes many world and west coast premieres, is only made possible through your continued patronage – as subscribers and contributors – and your ongoing involvement with The Old Globe is truly appreciated.

Now that we’re well into the New Year, and will soon be celebrating the Globe’s 75th Anniversary, it is more important than ever before to support the Globe’s Annual Fund as generously as possible. The Board and staff have embraced annual fundraising with renewed vigor, and hope that when you receive your renewal letters and other appeals throughout the year, you’ll consider increasing your support. Your generosity in recognition of the Globe’s 75-year history of providing a rich cultural tradition of artistic excellence and award-winning education programs is appreciated beyond measure.

George Armstrong Custer captured and burnt the supply train on April 8th. In desperation, Lee turned to face his pursuers in the battle of Appomattox Court House on April 9th. Vastly outnum- bered and surrounded on three sides, Lee recognized the futility of continuing the fight. He sent word to Grant that he was prepared to surrender. On the afternoon of April 9th, 1865, Robert E. Lee sur- rendered to Ulysses S. Grant in a private home in the village of Appomattox Court House. Although other skirmishes continued for a few weeks, for all intents the Civil War was finally over. G t e n G n a e [T.R.] e r e e r G n e . L al . r E Uly ss es S al R o b ert
