Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2008 Summer Season! Construction has begun on our exciting new facility, the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, which includes the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, a 250-seat arena stage, and the Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center, featuring Hattox Hall. Scheduled for completion in late 2009, these facil- ities are made possible by our capital campaign, Securing A San Diego Landmark, led by magnanimous gifts from Donald and Darlene Shiley, Conrad Prebys and our Board of Directors. We are very grateful to them and the many other community-spirited supporters of the Globe who have contributed to Securing A San Diego Landmark.

With construction of our new facilities underway, the Securing a San Diego Landmark campaign has reached 75% of its goal. As you consider helping us with the critical last phase of the campaign, you’ll be pleased to know that the foremost evaluator of non-profit organizations, Charity Navigator, ranks the Globe in the top 6% of all non-profits nationwide based on our record of “exceptional” financial stability and the resources we devote to our artistic and education programs. When you give to The Old Globe, you can be confident that your gift is being used well.

Established in 2002 with a magnanimous gift from Donald and Darlene Shiley, the Shiley Artist- in-Residence program furthers the Globe’s commitment to bringing artists of the highest caliber, drawn from a national and international pool of talent, to work at the Theatre. Donald and Darlene Shiley have been dedicated supporters of The Old Globe for more than two decades. Their lead gift of $20 million to the Globe’s current capital and endowment campaign, Securing a San Diego Landmark, marked the largest individual contribution in the Globe’s history. The Shileys have served as sponsors for dozens of productions and have been Season Sponsors since 1995. In addition, they have helped to fund many Globe projects, including the Shiley Terrace Apartments, which provides much-needed local housing for Globe artists, as well as underwriting two full scholarships in The Old Globe/University of San Diego Master of Fine Arts Program. In honor of their enduring support, the stage of the Old Globe Theatre was named the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage. The Shiley Artist-in-Residence marks one more way in which the Shileys support the creativity and qual- ity of the work on the Globe’s stages. Actor/Playwright Patrick Page has been acclaimed on Broadway for his roles as the “Grinch” in Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, “Scar” in The Lion King and “Lumière” in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Additional regional theater credits include the Long Wharf Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Missouri Repertory Theatre and Utah Shakespeare Festival, among others. In 2006 his play Swansong was among those featured at the Summer Play Festival in New York City.

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE P7 Program Notes

This Old Globe production is the first major revival of The Pleasure of His Company since its original run on Broadway, which opened on October 2, 1958. The Broadway production was a critical and popular success, running for 474 per- formances, an unusually long run for a play at that time. It was written by Samuel A. Taylor and Cornelia Otis Skinner, who each dedicated the play to the other “with love.” Cornelia Otis Skinner starred as Katherine Dougherty. Cyril Ritchard, who played Biddeford Poole, directed. A play about family, the original production was indeed a family affair!

THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY AND VERTIGO: The San Francisco Connection 1958 was a fruitful year for playwright Samuel A. Taylor. Not only did he have a Broadway hit in The Pleasure of His Company, the same year saw the premiere of his best-known film — Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, for which Taylor wrote the screenplay.

Both the play and the film are set in San Francisco and draw deeply on the atmos- phere of the city, including, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. Taylor and Hitchcock both loved San Francisco: Hitchcock called it “the Paris of America.” When previ- ous scripts for Vertigo proved unacceptable, Hitchcock called upon Taylor, who had been recommended for his knowledge of the Bay Area (Taylor had attended UC Berkeley). For the film, Taylor deepened the use of San Francisco as an evocative setting. He also made the sometimes controversial decision to reveal the plot twist in the middle of the film, transforming the film from a standard mystery story to a psychological study of obsession. Vertigois often considered Hitchcock’s masterpiece and is included in the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Greatest American Movies.

Vertigo is one of Director Darko Tresnjak’s favorite films and, with Taylor having writ- ten both, the film served as an inspiration for the Globe production’s design. Another connection between Taylor’s play and the film is that both were costumed by the leg- endary costume designer Edith Head. The Pleasure of His Company is one of only two Broadway plays she costumed (she worked primarily in film). Tresnjak and Costume Designer Fabio Toblini drew upon Head’s costume designs for the film’s star Kim Novak in designing the clothes for the Globe’s production. Novak’s famous grey suit in Vertigo almost didn’t happen; Novak initially refused to wear the color and fabric Hitchcock wanted. He passed the problem on to Head, with the comment, “I don’t care what she wears — as long as it’s a grey suit!” Head was able to arrive at a design that Novak was happy to wear — and that design inspired the first costume worn by Ellen Karas (“Katherine Dougherty”) in the Globe’s production of The Pleasure of His Company. PHOTOS (TOP - BOTTOM): KIM NOVAK UNDER THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IN VERTIGO; JAMES STEWART IN VERTIGO; KIM NOVAK IN SUIT DESIGNED BY EDITH HEAD; GLOBE COSTUME SKETCH BY FABIO TOBLINI.

P8 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE The Winchester Mystery House The set of The Pleasure of His Company, designed by Alexander Dodge, was inspired by the famous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA. This leg- endary mansion had been under construction from 1884-1922 under the close watch of owner Sarah Winchester, widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester. According to popular belief, Sarah Winchester had been instructed by a psychic to con- tinue building additions to the house in order to pro- tect her from the ghosts of those killed by Winchester guns. As a result, the mansion grew to an impressive 160 rooms featuring oddities such as stairs that led to the ceiling, doors that opened to walls, and a room devoted specifically to séances. Many decorative ele- ments featured a spider web motif, which she believed to be lucky, or were repeated thirteen times to ward off malevolent spirits. Charm... You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. — Albert Camus You must have charm to reach the pinnacle. It is made of everything and of nothing, the striving will, the look, the walk, the proportions of the body, the sound of the voice, the ease of the gestures. It is not at all necessary to be handsome or to be pretty; all that is needed is charm. — Sarah Bernhardt An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit. — Pliny the Younger Charming people live up to the very edge of their charm, and behave as outrageously as the world lets them. — Logan Pearsall Smith Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want. — Thornton Wilder The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the heading “public relations.” Without it, America would be grim indeed. — Anita Loos

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE P13 Backstage at the Globe

A SAN FRANCISCO HOUSE ON A SAN DIEGO STAGE Building the Set of The Pleasure of His Company

How does the living room of a grand old Victorian house over- looking the Golden Gate Bridge make its way to the stage of The Old Globe? It begins with Director Darko Tresnjak and Scenic Designer Alexander Dodge working with the text of the play. Like many 20th century playwrights, Samuel Taylor wrote a lengthy stage direction, almost two pages, describing the room, including such practical details as “the back wall of the room runs on a slant from U.R. [upper stage right] to D.L. [down right]” and such atmospheric suggestions as “the present occupants show a flair for combining the old and the new with taste and discrimination and humor.” It’s up to the director and scenic designer to interpret these sug- gestions anew for each production of the play, as the set serves several functions at once. It must be the right environment for the time, place, and action of the play. It must be a practical space for the actors to work in and for the audience to see the action within the dimensions and sightlines of a particular theatre. And, above all, it is the visual image that first invites the audience to join in the world of the play, wherever HOUSE ON LEFT: THE FRONT PORCH ARCHWAY WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE that may be.

The final image you see is made up of the landscape flat in the back- ground, with the bridge flat, cut to size, layered in front of it to give the view depth and dimension. Creating an interior employs many of the same materials and techniques used to build our own houses and offices. But, because it is meant to be seen from the audience, a stage set often requires broader and stronger visual elements than we would put in our own living rooms. And because the space is designed more to be seen than to hold up under ordinary use, some elements can be simulated in ways that save time or money.
