Our protagonist goes on a journey to find a way past perceived limitations of self. She speaks for us all as we constantly battle our own fears and misconceptions that keep us from living in the now. The scarecrow, lion, and tinman archetypes are expanded into a community of friends and family, using memory and dreams, to reveal scars that block our view. In her quest to find home, she continually learns the lesson of letting go of the past and embracing the h-e-r-e. The beauty of this journey is that we are not alone but, as Ram Daas so aptly puts it, we are all just walking each other home. SETTING: …….somewhere in the universe, your universe….or….if you must, the woods outside of The MacDowell Artist Colony, New Hampshire The show will run 75 minutes and will be performed without an intermission. * MUSICAL NUMBERS AND SCENES What Are the Odds?

  • Programming; Providing an Environment for the Growth and Education of Theatre Professionals, Audiences And, the Community at Large
    AUGUST 2014 WELCOME It’s an intergenerational summer here at The Old Globe. Across the plaza in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, we are producing one of Shakespeare’s first plays, if not his very first: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, a piece about young men, adolescent love, and the dawning of adulthood. Here in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, on the stage of the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we explore a different phase of life, as the four characters in Ronald Harwood’s Quartet come to terms with life, love, and friendship after retirement. DOUG GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. To explore those rich themes in Quartet, we reap the great benefit of four performers with decades of experience to their credit. Robert Foxworth, of course, is a beloved Associate Artist of The Old Globe, last seen here in Other Desert Cities. He is joined by the acclaimed Elizabeth Franz, at long last making her Globe debut, as is seasoned Shakespearean Roger Forbes. The final member of the play’s quartet, Jill Tanner, returns to the Globe after a 30-year absence. And who better to lead such a team of actors than our own Richard Seer? Rick’s deft hand at comedy, his skill at staging in the round, and his ability to bring out the heart of a piece are all on ample display here. ThisQuartet , and you, our audiences, are in excellent hands. Barry Edelstein, Artistic Director Michael G. Murphy, Managing Director MISSION STATEMENT The mission of The Old Globe is to preserve, strengthen, and advance American theatre by: creating theatrical experiences of the highest professional standards; producing and presenting works of exceptional merit, designed to reach current and future audiences; ensuring diversity and balance in programming; providing an environment for the growth and education of theatre professionals, audiences and, the community at large.

This one is more biographical in nature, with more intimate and personal situations from their childhood to the present day. Set in a museum, it brings together man’s evolution and the intersection of people’s lives into the Now. Here. This. Everything that leads to living in the “now,” being “here” and having “this.” Appreciate it all, because it comes around only once and goes oh-so-quickly. Definitely not frivolous, this is thoughtful entertainment that doles out equal doses of heartfelt humor, humanity, and hindsight. Everything that happened in the past has a way of resurfacing and affecting the present and even the future. The foursome have taken incidents from their past, whether they were good, bad, harmful or pleasurable, and brought them to focus for themselves as well as for the audience. For surely all of us have experienced the same feelings, whether in our adolescence, teens, or adulthood. It is a way to see the similarities in ourselves, have a chuckle at our foibles, and hopefully have grown from the past.

Plus it can get pretty humid, so your skin is going to look amazing. HB: Yeah, it’s going to be supple. I’m gonna look like a dewy 18-year-old. That’s what SKYLER GRAY: we all strive for once we are over 35. HEIDI! SG: So let’s jump in. We both grew up in Fresno, CA and performed at the same dinner theatre: Good Company Players (GCP). Can you talk about how you got into theatre? HEIDI BLICKENSTAFF: SKYLER! HB: Well first of all, I was obsessed with movie musicals as a kid. I was harmonizing with Barbra Streisand records by three—my mom was obsessed with Barbra—and she knew I was a weirdo. So she started showing me movie musicals, like the old, great ones: SG: We’re so excited to have you join us in Singin’ in the Rain, Oklahoma! and Hello, Houston soon! Dolly! And my uncle had a video store—and we’re talking the early 80’s. Not many HB: I’m so excited! I have not been to people were obsessed with movie musicals Texas in at least twenty-five years. I spent a like I was and there was a whole section summer in Fort Worth, doing summer stock that no one rented, so he would send all at the Hip Pocket Theatre. We were doing a of those movie musical videos to us.

  • Minskoff Theatre
    ® MINSKOFF THEATRE 2018 © The Al Hirschfeld Foundation Celebrating Jimmy Nederlander James M. Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, was the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spanned over 70 years, Jimmy amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt- Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Chicago: Auditorium and Private Bank Theaters, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and Oriental Theaters; in Los Angeles: The Pantages; and in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion. He produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisions Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. Jimmy was credited with developing the outdoor amphitheatre concept as the developer of premier venues including the New Jersey Garden State Arts Center, Pine Knob Music Theatre, the Merriweather Post Pavilion, the Pacific Amphitheatre, and as the decades-long operator of the Greek Theatre where he presented headline artists including Tony Bennett, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Liza Minnelli, and Frank Sinatra, among many others. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him.
