Both used pseudonyms, but Dr. Seuss and O. Henry were two very different American storytellers. It’s remarkable that two of their best-known tales form the basis for shows at the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center during San Diego’s holiday season.
Here in the White Theatre, Steven Sater and Burt Bacharach have combined to create a new musical, Some Lovers, inspired by O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” while next door on the Shiley Stage, The Grinch huffily steals gifts from the hearths of Whoville.
In their different ways, both productions tell volumes about the power of human generosity. That generosity of spirit is amply reflected here at the Globe; generous donors underwrote the theatre complex and the stages that bear their names, and Audrey Geisel gives us the royalty-free rights to perform The Grinch. Numerous others contributed major gifts, which help sustain the Globe as a national leader among regional theatres. Meanwhile, hundreds more do smaller parts each year to cover the half of the Theatre’s budget that isn’t provided by ticket sales.
Your generosity not only makes possible the great work on our stages but also supports extensive educational programs for young people at a time when many of our schools are struggling. As your thoughts inevitably turn toward helping others this holiday season, please remember to include the Globe in your year-end plans.
From everyone at The Old Globe, Happy Holidays and heartfelt thanks for your support throughout the year!

When prized possessions to buy each other Christmas gifts. Porter’s friends informed him that she was near death, The husband, Jim, sells his father’s watch; the wife, he returned to be with her for the last few months of Della, sells her beautiful hair.

He was also a confirmed couple and the sacrifices they are alcoholic, living alone in New York City willing to make in the name of love. Jim and struggling with health issues of and Della each give up what they hold his own. He died at 47. “The Gift of most dear, and the gift they receive the Magi” was written by a man who in return is not an object in a box but understood the realities of love and the knowledge that they are loved. sacrifice, a man whose own life was as The story also has a sly humor.

Molly wonders Christmas charmer, but the story behind the story is about Jim and Della’s future after the story ends: “Did surprisingly dark and complex. It was not, as readers they still love each other after they got sick of each might suspect, written by an idealistic, fresh-faced other? Did they get fat?

8 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE OVER WORDS AND NOTES BY STEVEN SATER
The first song I wrote with Burt? We met, very cordially, at his place. A wide-ranging conversation: Marlene Dietrich, David Merrick, Alicia Keys. Finally, Burt rose to see me out. “So, if you ever have a lyric....” “Oh, I brought one, actually.” Burt took the lyric from me, and the next thing I knew he was taking a seat again, reading it aloud: “Man, this is so real. Who hasn’t felt that?” The next day, Burt was headed to Sydney, Australia to conduct his first symphony. I left thinking, “Wow. That was my Burt Bacharach meeting.” Six weeks later, my phone rang. Burt—back from Australia. “I have something for that lyric you gave me, if you’d like to hear it.” The following day I showed up at his place. He HENRY DIROCCO HENRY ushered me into his music room, I pulled up a chair. Burt sat at the piano, with the same printed lyric I’d handed him, and proceeded to sing it back Composer Burt Bacharach to me. He’d set the lyrics to music verbatim, precisely as I and playwright and lyricist Steven Sater. gave them to him. I sat, transfixed. Without altering a word, Burt had transformed my text into a Bacharach song. And then, as the song ended, we discussed for 40 minutes whether or not to add the word “that” to a single line of a single verse. We went back and forth, again and again, trying the line, trying the verse, trying the song, with and without the “that.” Hearing the different ways the notes would sound with the word in or out. And each time Burt played the phrase he found a different sense, a different sorrow, a different resolution. In the end we decided we would have to decide another time. (Almost four years later, we still debate it.) And as I rose to go, I said to Burt, “This song. You know? It’s beautiful.” And he just smiled and said, “Oh yeah. Our first one. It should be a great one.”
