PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
providing through the Globe’s community outreach program. Bonnie
Duell chaired this event and we
thank her and her committee.
Our members again were busy
planning the Meet and Greet events
to welcome the actors of tokyo fish
story, Macbeth, Sense and Sensibility,
Meteor Shower and Love’s Labor’s
Lost. Can you imagine all those deviled eggs? Thank you to Mary Roberts and Marisa SorBello and all the
dedicated Guilders for their hospitality.
The Globe Guilders were honored to
welcome the new Director of Development, Llwellyn Crain, to her first
June Membership Luncheon and lively Second Hand Rose exchange. It
was our pleasure and the highlight of
the luncheon to have Freedome
Bradley-Ballentine, Director of Arts
Engagement, to share the incredible
work that he and his actors are
Snapshots
It was a delight and certainly an
honor to be able to see Shakespeare’s Folio right here in our city
and the magnificent display presented by The Globe. This was due
to the extraordinary efforts of Barry
Edelstein, Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic
Director of The Globe, for securing
this book. San Diego was the only
city in California to host Shake-
speare's First Folio which is touring
the 50 United States. The Guilders
hosted a private party at the San Diego Central Library, chaired by Judi
Menzel, to view the display where
102 attended. It was interesting to
note that many of the guests had
never attended an event at the Library. We owe Judi a big thank you
for all her effort in planning this
event.
Finally, it was my extreme honor to
attend the ribbon cutting of the remodeled Marriott Marquis San Diego
Marina, where we will be celebrating Couture 2016 on August 22nd.
The new foyer outside the main ballroom is something to behold and
was designed to accommodate a
convention all under one roof. You
will not want to miss this event! I
hope to see you there.
Warm regards,

FIRST FOLIO NIGHT
Guilder Gazette
AT THE LIBRARY
- JUNE 29
On June 29th, 102 Guilders and invited guests attended the private reception and viewing of the First Folio – The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare. We
mingled, enjoying wine, coffee and desserts while admiring the spectacular city views from the 9th floor of the San Diego Public Library. Barry Edelstein, Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director of The Old Globe, brought the
room alive with his informative presentation. We were so fortunate that the
Globe and the SDPL were selected as the only stop in California for the First
Folio, on tour from the Folger Shakespeare Library, a national traveling exhibition to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.
Accompanying the rare
2 book was a multi-panel exhibition exploring the
significance of Shakespeare then and now, as well as the importance of the
3
First Folio. A supplemental exhibition showcased original props, costumes
and photographs from The Old Globe’s 80-year archive, with a focus on the
productions of Shakespeare that have made the Globe one of the most important Shakespeare theatres in North America. Darlene Davies contributed many items from her personal collection.

LETTER FROM BARRY AND MICHAEL
Dear Globe Guilders,
It has been a summer of reverie at The Old Globe. In Constellations,
stars, lights, and a minimalist geometric set allowed us to travel
through parallel universes and see into the future. Simulated sushimaking, the sound effects of a bustling kitchen and original music described as flowing “through the piece like gentle waves lapping at the
shore” made us crave aquatic cuisine in tokyo fish story. An ominous,
oversized red plastic shower curtain evoked a sea of blood in Shakespeare’s chilling play Macbeth. And a stately spiral feature in the fresh new musical adaptation of Jane
Austen’s timeless classic Sense and Sensibility emblematized a ribbon floating in the wind.
Soon, a lush green set with an elaborate staircase will transport audiences to the pastoral world of Love’s
Labor’s Lost, when Tony-Award winner Kathleen Marshall makes her Old Globe debut directing the
Bard’s enchanting romantic comedy. Meanwhile, Meteor Shower, the hilarious and wonderfully bizarre
new play by returning Globe artist Steve Martin, will find an Ojai backyard engulfed in a meteor shower
as the stars come out, cocktails flow, and sparks fly in the night sky and in life.
Imagination isn’t the only thing blooming here – we also have some exciting events coming up! On August 4, Steve Martin, whose beloved musical Bright Star premiered at the Globe in 2014 prior to a successful Broadway run and five Tony Award nominations, will be In Conversation with Barry. And in October,
our fall Theatre Tour to London, Bath and Stratford will provide a unique way to both support the Globe’s
programs and have a fantastic time with fellow Globe theatregoers while exploring majestic history, magnificent sights, fascinating people, unsurpassed pageantry and superb theatre.
As we head into August, we send our very best from the Globe staff, artists, and happy theatre-goers who
benefit from your commitment to the theatre. Thank you for all that
you do, and we look forward to seeing you next at Celebrating
Couture 2016!
Sincerely Yours,
Barry Edelstein

SUMMER LUNCHEON
Guilder Gazette
AND SECOND
HAND ROSE - JUNE 10
Our Summer Membership Luncheon on June 16 was fun, festive and informative. We
had our annual Second Hand Rose event and we all walked away with new treasures!
The 50/50 raffle was a hit and Mary Roberts, graciously, donated her winnings back to
the theatre. Our lunch was delicious with many compliments on each of the entrees
and who doesn’t like chocolate and vanilla mousse?
The luncheon’s highlights were the two speakers from the Old Globe Theatre. Llewellyn Crain, the new Director of Development, told us what enticed her to join the theatre were the 15 productions featuring the diverse programming of classical and contemporary works. Freedome Bradley-Ballentine, the Director of Arts Engagement,
explained the outreach efforts such as “Globe for All,” “Globe to Go” and AXIS which
features free cultural events and programs on the Old Globe’s plaza.

The beautiful rose centerpieces, donated by Pam Stafford, were given to a guest at

ders President encouraged everyone to see the First Folio at the Central San Diego
Library, a once in a lifetime event. The summer membership luncheon was a lovely
afternoon!

PHOTOGRAPHERS
Skip a decade to 1992 and a fascinating west coast premiere of Ed
Schmidt's Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting. Cassius Carter Centre Stage
was the venue. The fictional account of a meeting with four prominent
African-Americans, called by Branch Rickey, owner of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, dealt with finding ways to break the color barrier in Major
5 African-Americans? Jackie
6 RobLeague Baseball. The four prominent
PROOFREADING:
inson, Joe Louis, Paul Robeson and Bill Robinson. The play imagined
five powerful men in a room discussing a highly charged topic at the
4
time.
Eleven years later, in 2003, audiences rooted for characters in
Rounding Third, a play by Richard Dresser, which brought to life the
drama of coaches, fans and families who either want kids to win at all
costs, or who want youngsters merely to have fun playing baseball. It
focused on a raging argument regarding the true objectives of Little
League. Rounding Third, was also staged in the Carter.
Finally, in 2005, the Globe produced a play which dealt with homophobia. With this play, Take Me Out, the Globe focused on discrimination toward the gay community, specifically within the baseball
world. Just as Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting in 1992 had tackled the long
history of discrimination toward black baseball players, Take Me Out
confronted homophobia in athletics. The plot followed a turn in the
life of an iconic baseball player living the life of a hero. Hero, that is,
until he calls a press conference to "come out." The conflict that results forms the basis for the play. The Globe's production was the first
regional production of Take Me Out since it left Broadway a few
months before.
