Dear Friends, Children throughout San Diego County are returning to their classrooms, and The Old Globe is joining them with some of our best education programs yet. With these programs, the Globe provides learning experiences for young audiences through the exploration of language, history and human nature. For our in-school touring program this fall the featured play is The Stones, a powerful story of two teenagers who discover the harsh consequences of seemingly harmless decisions. Based on a true story, The Stones was written specifically for at-risk youth and helps encourage discussions about peer pressure and personal responsibility. Other Globe education programs this fall include the Shakespeare Initiatives and the ever-popular Grinch Children’s Initiatives, which includes more than 14,000 free and discounted tickets for children to attend a performance of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Education programs are a significant component of the Globe’s mission. Currently through our Capital Campaign, The Old Globe is raising critical funds to build a new Education Center on the Globe campus. This facility will greatly enhance the Globe’s ability to present education and outreach programs, performances and workshops. To support these efforts, we are seeking special funding, and many of you will soon receive gift requests by mail. Please consider giving generously to help the Globe and its mission to reach out to students throughout our community. On behalf of the Board, I thank you for making the Globe a part of your life.

P6 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE Donor Profile

Since 1985, The Shubert Foundation has awarded The Old Globe more than $1.3 million, and each year the Theatre continues to receive one of its most generous grants from this foundation. The Globe gratefully acknowledges the Shubert Foundation for its commitment to theatre and dance companies across the United States. In the mid-19th Century, three brothers — Sam, Lee and Jacob J. Shubert — immigrated to the United States from Eastern Europe. By 1882, their father’s alcoholism rendered him incapable of supporting the family, and the boys were forced to go to work. The oldest, Lee Shubert, was just ten years old when he began selling newspapers in front of a local theatre. Over time their involvement with theatre grew, and working together, the Shubert brothers eventually founded the largest theatre empire of the 20th Century. In 1945 Lee and J.J. Shubert established The Shubert Foundation in memory of their brother Sam had who died in 1905 following a train crash. The Shubert Foundation serves as sole shareholder of The Shubert Organizations, Inc. — America’s oldest professional theatre company. To this day, the company remains at the forefront of the J.J. AND LEE SHUBERT American Theatre under the leadership of Chairman Gerald Schoenfeld, President Philip J. Smith and Executive Vice President Robert E. Wankel. The Shubert Foundation, dedicated to sustaining and advancing not-for-profit, professional resident theatre and dance companies throughout the United States, awards unrestricted grants to organizations demonstrating artistic achievement, administrative strength and fiscal stability. They encourage theatres on their roster to make way for the second or third productions of vibrant new plays, as well as world premieres—so that more new work can be fully realized and enter the national repertoire. The Shubert brothers, along with those who continue working to sustain their vision through the auspices of The Shubert Foundation, deserve a hearty round of applause from theatre audiences and artists everywhere.

P10 PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE Program Notes

GEORGE GERSHWIN ALONE The question most often asked by journalists, artists and the public is “What discovery about George Gershwin surprised you most?” The response that immediately comes to mind is the polarization of opinion about everything Gershwin. He was beloved by the public at large, but he divided the critics in half. His friends and acquaintances said they either loved him deeply, or simply tolerated him. There were those that said he was a womanizer, and others that he had only one mistress — his music. Musicians and composers either loved his playing and composing — or completely dismissed it. There were friends who said he was a man in love with his art, and others who said he was a man in love with himself. While Rouben Mamoulian, famed director of Porgy and Bess, said that George had a genuine way of observing himself from the outside, Harold Arlen and other friends claimed that George lacked any ability for self-analysis. And although he engaged in sessions with a psychoanalyst over a lengthy period, George himself said that he really had no interest in looking deep inside. A child of Russian-Jewish immigrants, George Gershwin brought dance music into the concert hall and made a “lady out of jazz.” He composed America’s greatest opera with the Black South as its subject matter, which interestingly enough, led to a number of anti-Semitic attacks. George’s personal letters reveal a very kind-hearted man, but there are a number of accounts to the contrary. There are recordings of George Gershwin’s own playing that are masterful, and others that reveal technical and musical deficiencies. So given this polarization of thought, what was George Gershwin really like, and why did so many respond to him the way they did? The Music. Thank you for attending George Gershwin Alone.

AUTHOR’S NOTE George Gershwin Alone, which had its world premiere in 1999, is the third “movement” of a trilogy entitled “The Composer Sonata.” The first movement, Beethoven, will have its world premiere this coming season, and the intermediate romantic movement, Monsieur Chopin, has been playing since August, 2005. Traditionally, a Sonata is made up of three movements. The first movement is generally in “sonata form.” It is a highly-structured work that begins with a thematic statement, which is then followed by a “working out” section, followed by a return of the themes, then further development, and finally a rounding out – a coda. First movements are generally dramatic, architectural, deeply thought- ful and emotional. This is Beethoven. Traditionally, the second movement of a sonata is a “Romanza” of sorts, a lush and expression of soul. This is Monsieur Chopin. Finally – the last movement of the traditional sonata, is generally dance-like, extroverted and joyous, though still in some way thematically related to the previous two movements. This is George Gershwin Alone – the themes of which are suggested in both of its predecessors.

JACK O’BRIEN 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION In 1981 Jack O’Brien was named Artistic Director of The Old Globe, and since that time he has staged more than 60 productions and helped the Theatre send nearly 20 plays and musicals to Broadway. To pay tribute to Jack for his 25 years of service to the Globe and the San Diego community, a star-studded evening with luminaries from stage and screen was held on Sunday, June 18 — which was incidentally also his birthday — at the Lodge at Torrey Pines, with event underwriters and Co-Chairs Jane and Victor Ottenstein. Additional major underwriting came from Globe friends Audrey Geisel, Donald and Darlene Shiley and Conrad Prebys. The Old Globe would like to thank these and the many other donors who helped make this a tremendously successful event.
