performances at the OLD GLOBE THEATRE OCTOBER 2009 Welcome

UPCOMING Dear Friends, and I first met T H E SAVA N N A H about eighteen months ago and DISPUTATION we began to look for a project Sept. 26 - Nov. 1, 2009 that we could do together at Old Globe Arena Stage Old Globe. After discussing at the James S. Copley several possibilities, he asked me Auditorium, to read his new musical about the San Diego Museum of Art life of Sammy Davis, Jr. I thought the work was both entertaining and important. Quite simply, the ❖❖❖ opportunity to produce this show with its great score and tell the DR. SEUSS’ story of this legendary American HOW THE GRINCH STOLE entertainer was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. CHRISTMAS! Sammy is a very personal project for Leslie. His friendship with Sammy Nov. 21 - Dec. 27, 2009 began in 1961 and was both intensely personal and artistically prolific. Old Globe Theatre In fact, Leslie contributed more songs to Sammy’s canon of hits than any other individual . Many of these great songs, which ❖❖❖ brilliantly illuminate Sammy and in which he lived, are in this new score. WHISPER HOUSE Revealing Sammy is no small feat. There is so much more to Sammy Jan. 13 - Feb. 21, 2010 Davis, Jr. than his mythic stage persona. In addition to being one of the Old Globe Theatre greatest performers of his generation he was a very complicated man who struggled with issues of identity, race, relationships, money and fame. His journey wasn’t easy but it paved the way for many, many ❖❖❖ others. We're fortunate to have Obba Babatundé as our guide on this journey. LOST IN YONKERS Obba had a personal relationship with Sammy and this bond between Jan. 23 - Feb. 28, 2010 performers of different generations informs Obba's remarkable Sheryl and Harvey performance. Sammy was a triple threat performer and so is Obba. White Theatre It is a privilege to bring the magic of Sammy Davis, Jr. to those who knew and loved him, and particularly exciting to introduce this “once in ❖❖❖ a lifetime” performer to an entirely new generation of theatergoers. More than anything, as Sammy’s spirit fills the theater tonight, I hope BOEING-BOEING we make him proud. March 13 - April 18, 2010 Old Globe Theatre

Dear Friends,

I am delighted to welcome you to the launch of the Globe’s 2009-2010 season with the world premiere of our newest musical, Sammy. This production, and the exciting lineup of plays and musicals that will follow, represent the fulfillment of the Globe’s mission to create theatrical experiences of the highest professional standards, and in this tradition, we are proud to unveil another world-class season. Once more, our ability to continue presenting a wide and varied range of works like those you’ll see this season is made possible through your committed patronage — as subscribers and contributors. I’m pleased to learn that many of you have responded positively to the curtain speeches by purchasing new and additional subscriptions, and to the letters and calls asking for your continued support of the Annual Fund this year. I want you to know that your ongoing investment in The Old Globe is appreciated beyond measure. Once again, from all of us here, thank you for participating so meaningfully, and so often, for the greater good of The Old Globe. Your encouragement and enthusiasm for what we do add to a feeling of great celebration as we kick-off the new season.

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE P5 Sammy - Production Sponsors

Mickey Stern Mickey Stern has been a patron and supporter of the arts for many years, both in San Diego and previously when she lived in Omaha. She strongly believes in the Globe’s artistic goals, its stability as a leading non-profit institution and the impact of the Theatre’s work in the community. Mickey’s admiration of Sammy Davis, Jr. and his remarkable life story, combined with her high regard of the Globe, inspired her to support the creation of an exciting new musical about one of America’s finest entertainers. The Old Globe is proud to recognize Mickey Stern as a sponsor of the world premiere musical, Sammy.

American Airlines American Airlines and American Eagle, which serve more than 250 cities in 40 countries, have been long-time supporters of The Old Globe. For more than 20 years, American Airlines has sponsored Globe productions including The Women, A Catered Affair, Alone, : The Dancer’s Life, Lucky Duck, Henry V, Beyond Therapy and The Merry Wives of Windsor. American Airlines supports the Globe by providing much-needed air travel, bringing the finest actors, directors and designers from around the country to our stages. In addition to their tremendous production support, American Airlines was also a sponsor of the 2009 Globe Gala.

The Edgerton Foundation The Edgerton Foundation actively supports the development of exceptional theatrical projects that could ultimately join the American repertoire of widely performed plays and musicals. The world premiere production of Leslie Bricusse’s Sammy was selected to receive an Edgerton Foundation New American Play Award in 2009.

Launched in 2006, the Edgerton Foundation’s New American Play Awards have recognized and supported more than 56 productions throughout the United States. The Old Globe — which previously received the prestigious award in support of the world premieres of Mark V. Olsen’s Cornelia, Itamar Moses’ Back Back Back and Steven Drukman’s In This Corner — applauds the Edgerton Foundation’s willingness to promote a vital theatre community by supporting the demanding creative processes that yield promising new work.

Two moments above all stood out from among a hundred outstanding moments that this remarkable evening provided. One, when Gregory Hines, after trying, as he said, “to dance out” his love for Sammy, got Sam into his tap shoes, which George Schlatter had sneakily purloined from Sam’s house.

The second great moment was the lovely, delicate little song that closed the evening. It was a muted, respectful, thoughtful and loving tribute from one great artist to another, specially composed for the occasion by Michael Jackson and Buz Kohan, and performed by Michael.

The song was short, simple and straightforward. It was (l. to r.) Leslie, Evie, Sammy, Alana and George Hamilton at the called “You Were There.” Its lyric was recognition of what Los Angeles premiere of Scrooge, November, 1970. Sammy had achieved and endured — the endless barriers of prejudice that he had overcome to clear the way for the generation of talented young black performers who were June 7, 1989 to follow him. And the last line of Buz and Michael’s tender and sensitive lyric said it all in the compact, concisely Dear Leslie, crafted way that only a good lyric can: “I am here, ’cause you were there!” Sixty years of show business is a long road to travel, there’s been the good times, and the not And so the Pied Piper has gone.

And the legend of Sammy will continue to grow. He was Peace & Love, Sammy as important in his world as Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali in theirs. Like them, he broke down the barriers. Like them, he is an enduring symbol to all people, black and white, of what is possible.

And how many volunteers work in those programs? Here’s how the numbers work out. Approximately 3,000 children are served by our Globe Readers literacy program each year.
