  • Programming; Providing an Environment for the Growth and Education of Theatre Professionals, Audiences And, the Community at Large
    AUGUST 2014 WELCOME It’s an intergenerational summer here at The Old Globe. Across the plaza in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, we are producing one of Shakespeare’s first plays, if not his very first: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, a piece about young men, adolescent love, and the dawning of adulthood. Here in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, on the stage of the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we explore a different phase of life, as the four characters in Ronald Harwood’s Quartet come to terms with life, love, and friendship after retirement. DOUG GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. To explore those rich themes in Quartet, we reap the great benefit of four performers with decades of experience to their credit. Robert Foxworth, of course, is a beloved Associate Artist of The Old Globe, last seen here in Other Desert Cities. He is joined by the acclaimed Elizabeth Franz, at long last making her Globe debut, as is seasoned Shakespearean Roger Forbes. The final member of the play’s quartet, Jill Tanner, returns to the Globe after a 30-year absence. And who better to lead such a team of actors than our own Richard Seer? Rick’s deft hand at comedy, his skill at staging in the round, and his ability to bring out the heart of a piece are all on ample display here. ThisQuartet , and you, our audiences, are in excellent hands. Barry Edelstein, Artistic Director Michael G. Murphy, Managing Director MISSION STATEMENT The mission of The Old Globe is to preserve, strengthen, and advance American theatre by: creating theatrical experiences of the highest professional standards; producing and presenting works of exceptional merit, 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.

This one is more biographical in nature, with more intimate and personal situations from their childhood to the present day. Set in a museum, it brings together man’s evolution and the intersection of people’s lives into the Now. Here. This. Everything that leads to living in the “now,” being “here” and having “this.” Appreciate it all, because it comes around only once and goes oh-so-quickly. Definitely not frivolous, this is thoughtful entertainment that doles out equal doses of heartfelt humor, humanity, and hindsight. Everything that happened in the past has a way of resurfacing and affecting the present and even the future. The foursome have taken incidents from their past, whether they were good, bad, harmful or pleasurable, and brought them to focus for themselves as well as for the audience. For surely all of us have experienced the same feelings, whether in our adolescence, teens, or adulthood. It is a way to see the similarities in ourselves, have a chuckle at our foibles, and hopefully have grown from the past.

  • The Meaning of the European Painted Portrait, 1400-1650
    21 The Meaning of the European Painted Portrait, 1400–1650 Joanna Woods-Marsden This essay seeks to interpret the historical meaning of European portraits from the early fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth century by reintegrating them into the context of contemporary religious and philosophical systems of ideas, ideological structures of power, and, wherever possible, the social circumstances of their sitters. (A portrait’s subject is commonly referred to as a “sitter,” even when this figure stands.) Restricting itself to painted images created in Italy and the Netherlands, the two centers that produced the most innovative works in the genre, the essay further explores issues of gender difference and reception as well as the art form’s formal development. Addressing, first, images of the single figure during the whole period, then paired likenesses, and finally group portraits, the essay starts with works that reflect the culture of late medieval Italy and ends on the cusp of our modern world by considering paintings from baroque Holland. Throughout the period, portraiture was class-specific; only the features of the socially and economically privileged were recorded. In 1435, the theorist Leon Battista Alberti conceived of the portrait as a sign of the sitter’s role in society, in which male identity was politically – and that of the female socially – determined. Identity, which was established by birth, centered on the “role” and was essen- tially social rather than personal.1 An individual’s sense of place within society was defined collectively, with the family as the primary point of reference and great importance being attributed to social rank.

Box 8795 Williamsburg, Virginia 23187-8795 AUTHOR: Meg Greene Malvasi PROJECT DIRECTOR: Joe B. Jones 2006 i ABSTRACT In the winter of 2005 and early spring of 2006, the William and Mary Center for Ar- chaeological Research conducted reconnaissance and intensive architectural surveys of properties in the Tidewater cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. The goal of the project was to document houses built from kits manu- factured by Sears, Roebuck, and Company in the five cities. Limited to a total of 195 reconnaissance surveys and 10 intensive surveys, the study is by no means exhaustive. Instead, the results and interpretation are intended to provide a baseline of information about kit houses within the five participating Tidewater cities and form a foundation for future research on kit houses in the region.
