No wonder there were audible gasps from the audience at this year's edition of Celebrating Couture. The clothes Khan designs and produces are over-the-top beautiful. So much so, viewers can hardly believe what they see. designs have popped up in scenes of Sex & the City and Dreamgirls films. First Lady Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Queen Noor of Jordan wear clothes by Khan. Why wouldn't they? Khan delivers drop dead glamour coupled with high society elegance. The brilliant couturier was inspired this time by textiles, decorative arts, and garments of both the Byzantine Empire and the 1920 art deco styles. They are improbable combinations, but stunning in mix. Garments modeled in the Globe Guilders most recent show elevated Khan's already high concept and execution to extraordinary levels of artistry. The always trendy guests at the Guilders show included Karen Cohn, Sheryl White, Joan Jacobs, Pat Whalen, Iris Strauss and Elaine Darwin, an Old Globe Board member and this year's Celebrating Couture Honorary Chair. Some other fashionistas spotted in the large crowd were Jeanne Jones, Lynne Wheeler, Valerie Cooper, Liz Helming, Fashion Show Chair, Marlene Sterling, Fashion Show Co-Chair, Linda Van Vark, Globe Guilder President, Jo Ann Kilty, Esther Rodriguez, Gail Dill, Phyllis Parrish, and Cristull Hasson. All of the event patrons looked smashing. Pictures start on Page 4. Khan's meteoric rise in the fashion industry is no accident. His dresses and gowns are so impeccably cut and arrayed with decorative embellishments they are worthy of museum inclusion. The embroidery this year, particularly dramatic in black and white, was lavish. Crystal beading made stars of the runway models. After all, Khan's Photo by Norm Gillespie Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel was the venue for the show and the always solid Neiman Marcus produced Khan's Couture Line runway presentation, which had emotional punch. The result was electrifying. Every women in the room wished to look like the models on the catwalk. Since the show benefits Globe Theatre programs, the day's theatricality was perfect. There was so much pizazz.

As expected, Neiman Marcus presented Naeem Khan’s fashions spectacularly and the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel provided a beautiful venue. On behalf of all the Globe Guilders, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to Chair, Liz Helming, Co-Chair Marlene Sterling and the entire Fashion Show Committee. Special thanks to our Honorary Chair Elaine Darwin for her enthusiastic support of the Guilders and the Fashion Show. Once again, a big thank you goes to Jo Ann Kilty who served as Chair of the Honorary Committee. This year we received huge support from our Board of Directors of The Old Globe Theatre which was much appreciated. Thank you to our Patron Party hosts, Matthew and Iris Strauss, and to all our underwriters, live and silent auction donors. Everyone's efforts help to support our goal...to raise funds for The Old Globe Theatre. As part of your Summer plans, I hope you will be seeing a play in the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. This is the time of the season to enjoy our outdoor theatre and to introduce someone new to the Theatres.

Our host for the evening, Matthew Strauss, provided a fabulous tour of their International Collection of Contemporary Art which was enjoyed by all. Cocktails and Hors D’oeuvres were served on the terrace overlooking the beautiful pool with marvelous pieces of sculpture everywhere to be admired and enjoyed. Our benefactors, who so graciously and generously supported our successful Celebrating Couture, were welcomed in a record number and a special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Strauss for so graciously welcoming us.

Page 10 NEWS FROM AROUND Guilder Gazette THE GLOBE - EDUCATION 2013 GLOBE HONORS AND THE ROAD TO THE JIMMY™ AWARDS This year’s Globe Honors and The Road to the Jimmy™ Awards was an inspiring evening of performances by talented local teens. Well over 100 students auditioned for the coveted opportunity to perform at the Globe with the possibility of winning a scholarship and other great prizes. The multi-step process of selecting the finalists began early in May when each young hopeful either sang a song from a musical or performed a monologue from a play before our panel of judges and, from that large group, 24 semi-finalists were selected. On May 19 the semi-finalists again auditioned for a second set of judges and the finalists were selected but they all had to wait until the next night to be told who the lucky finalists would be. On the evening of Monday, May 20, all 24 students performed three big numbers they had rehearsed with director James Vasquez. They were fantastic! And then the finalists were announced. Families and friends cheered to hear the names and among those amazing finalists was Mae Powell, the Globe’s youngest Guilder! Her dreamy voice filled the Theatre as she sang her solo for the judges and the audience and she deserved those cheers and applause for her beautiful performance. Hunter Schwarz of Canyon Crest Academy and Annika Gullahorn of Pacific Ridge School won in the categories of Leading Actor and Actress in a High Mae Powell competes at the 2013 Globe Honors and The Road to the Jimmy Awards.

Barry Edelstein commented on how acclaimed these eggs have become. Five cast members and a supporting "cast" of around 50 loved our bountiful spread. Alexa Hirsch designed the tables in a black drape, with guns, badges and handcuffs amongst the lavish spread with the appropriate film noir theme. Original chicken salad, BLT's and ham and cheese on rye disappeared quickly created by Fran Viertel, Sue McGrath, Patricia Paul, Sally 1 Berry and daughter Lisa Berry Shaw. Four ladies did the ever popular deviled eggs: Dolores Lane, Barbara Bolt, Marilyn Johns, and Nadine Masters, each with a different twist. Several cast members, along, with our wonderful Refreshing fruit platters and mounds of cherries, plums, apricots, oranges were brought by Pat and Norm Gillespie, Rita Venturini and Shirley Kosiek. Most were quickly consumed or put in their pockets for later in the rehearsal day, or put into the Green Room for a wandering 4 soul. To finish our grand luncheon were crackers/cheese/salami; miniature chocolate chip muffins, banana bread and a dazzling cake. All these additions were brought by Dolores Smith, Pat Johnston, Pam Stafford, Sally Crahan, Donna Blochwitz, and Dione Conway. 3 2 We all had a wonderful lunch after the cast went to rehearsal. What a grand Guilder experience this was. Our president, Linda Van Vark's mother supported our event, plus several guests and two new Globe Guilders: Dione Conway and Lisa Berry Shaw.

Carol Winter MFA Report - Summer 2013 We would like to share some good news from Adam Daveline who graduated from our MFA program last year. He and his wife and their three year old son are now living in New York City. “I am currently in UNLOCK’D which is a new musical playing at the Duke on 42nd Street. We have had great reviews since we opened. According to stagegrade.com we are tied with AVENUE Q as the number one offBroadway play right now—so that is awesome! My wife, Andrea, just filmed a documentary with a big documentary director and is one of the hosts of a new web series called the MOMENTATORS. It’s pretty much The View for parents. She is terrific.” Jane Cowgill and Alexa Hirsch Jane Cowgill Carol Hanson Jill Holmes Suzie Turner Fran Viertel Linda Van Vark Jordine Von Wantoch ADDRESS CORRECTIONS The Guilder Gazette is sent to members as a benefit of membership.
