    Cassius Carter Centre Stage Darlene Gould Davies Cassius Carter Centre Stage, that old and trusted friend, is gone. The theatre in the round at The Old Globe complex in Balboa Park had its days, and they were glorious. Who can forget “Charlie’s Aunt” (1970 and 1977), or the hilarious 1986 pro- duction of “Beyond the Fringe”? Was there ever a show in the Carter that enchanted audiences more than “Spoon River Anthology” (1969)? A. R. Gurney’s “The Din- ing Room” (1983) was delightful. Craig Noel’s staging of Alan Ayckbourn’s ultra- comedic trilogy “The Norman Conquests” (1979) still brings chuckles to those who remember. San Diegans will remember the Carter. It was a life well lived. Cassius Carter Centre Stage, built in 1968 and opened in early 1969, was di- rectly linked to the original Old Globe Theatre of the 1935-36 California-Pacific International Exposition in Balboa Park. It was not a new building but a renovation of Falstaff Tavern that sat next to The Old Globe.1 In fact, until Armistead Carter Falstaff Tavern ©SDHS, UT #82:13052, Union-Tribune Collection.

Shannon Sweeney representing Scott White Contemporary Art reported that the location approved by the Committee for the Bernar Venet sculpture requires a barrier to be placed around it for ADA compliance.

  • San Diego Invites the World to Balboa Park a Second Time by Richard W
    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Fall 1985, Volume 31, Number 4 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor San Diego Invites the World to Balboa Park a Second Time by Richard W. Amero First Prize, Copley Award San Diego History Center 1985 Institute of History Images from this article THE California-Pacific International Exposition, held in Balboa Park in 1935-36, was a milepost in San Diego's history. Of the people who backed the exposition, architect-in-charge Richard Requa did the most to determine its final shape.1 Talk of holding a second exposition had begun before the 1915-16 Panama-California Exposition had closed. Instead of being torn down, as the exposition's master architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue had advised, the temporary buildings on Balboa Park's main avenue, El Prado, had been patched up in 1922 and again in 1933.2 In August 1933, Frank Drugan, former field representative for the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain, visited the renovated El Prado, admired its appearance, and suggested to San Diego businessmen that they use the buildings as the nucleus for a second exposition.3 As dynamic promoter for the second exposition, Drugan assumed the role Colonel "Charlie" Collier had taken for the first. Chicago's 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition was in its final year. Many of its exhibits could be transported easily to San Diego. The exposition's promise of a happy and prosperous future had appealed to people beleaguered by the Great Depression.4 Frank G. Belcher, assistant cashier and vice president of the First National Trust and Savings Bank of San Diego, became the second exposition's president, the office G.

  • The Old Globe Social Justice Roadmap As of October 12, 2020
    THE OLD GLOBE SOCIAL JUSTICE ROADMAP AS OF OCTOBER 12, 2020 The Old Globe believes that theatre matters, and our commitment is to make it matter to more people. Our vision of theatre as a public good obliges us to see our art form as a means toward a more just and vibrant world. Our Strategic Plan, adopted in 2019, articulates our pledge to deepen and expand our exist- ing efforts in building Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in our theatre. While over the past decade this work has engaged more BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals and communities in every aspect of our organization, we acknowledge that our actions have been inconsistent and have fallen short, to the exclusion and even pain of BIPOC theatremakers and audiences who have not felt fully welcomed here. We acknowledge the work we must do to address these inconsistencies and undo the structures and practices that result in inequities. Now, amid urgent calls for a real response to these issues in all sectors of society, and with powerful input from BIPOC community members, artists, staff, and others both in San Diego and nationally, including the We See You White American Theatre demands, the Globe has embarked on a series of reforms to intensify and accelerate necessary change at all levels of our institution. Our goals are: • to lead The Old Globe through a transformation to antiracist practice (we define antiracism as the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, structures, policies, practices, and attitudes); • to increase
