I hope you are as delighted as I am with all of the wonderful productions at The Old Globe in 2004. From Arthur Miller’s Resurrection Blues to Nicky Silver’s wacky black comedy The Food Chain, to Stephen Wadsworth’s new adaptation of Moliere’s classic Don Juan, The Old Globe continues to present fresh, vital productions that engage and entertain us all. And beginning in July, we’re very pleased to present the much-anticipated Summer Shakespeare Festival, with three of Shakespeare’s plays running in rotation nightly throughout the summer. All of this, plus a pun-filled summer musical called Lucky Duck, directed by Tony Award®-winner John Rando, along with our very own Jack O’Brien-directed, Broadway-bound musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, makes this definitely a year to be a regular at The Old Globe. Yet even with all of these exciting artistic plans for the year, we must remember that ticket sales cover only 50% of the theatre’s costs, and donations by individuals, corporations and foundations must bridge that gap and ensure that the Globe continues to entertain, engage and enlighten Globe audiences throughout the year. I urge you to make a tax-deductible contribution to The Old Globe today, and know that you are giving 100% support to this wonderful theatre. Thank you for your continued support of The Old Globe. I hope you enjoy our season.
