T
he 2013-2014 season was eventful
and exciting for Globe Theatre
Society. Once again, the Board of
Directors of Globe Theatre is very pleased
with the Theatre’s successes and its
growth, all of which is made possible by
the Globe’s team of accomplished artists,
staff and management, as well as through
the leadership of Globe’s CEO and Artistic
Director, Ruth Smillie.
This year the Theatre continued to focus
on providing opportunities for artists in
Saskatchewan, with the goal of creating
an exceptional experience for everyone
– artists and patrons, alike. On both the
Main Stage and in the Shumiatcher
Sandbox Series, magical, enchanting,
comical and thought-provoking worlds
came alive. Through the Main Stage and
the Shumiatcher Sandbox Series, the
creative staff of Globe Theatre continue
to plan to present a collection of plays
that appeals to a wide cross-section of
audiences – delivering entertainment as
well as challenging, experimental and
cutting-edge theatre.
The Globe Theatre’s 2014 purchase of its
current site, the Prince Edward Building,
is an historic moment for the Theatre. The
purchase of the building was undertaken

“All three actors
are excellent in the
challenging roles,
creating characters that
are hilarious, but with
lots of human depth.”
-Joe Couture, The Leader Post, review of
Becky’s New Car
with the support of a number of key
community members, who volunteered
their time and expertise to Globe
Theatre’s management team and to the
Board of Directors, and who were critical
to the completion of the transaction.
Owning our own building presents the
Theatre with many more opportunities for
development and growth. Careful financial
management of the Theatre has made the
purchase possible. This purchase is the
beginning of a new era for Globe Theatre
and the Theatre is excited to partner with
community and business members to
make the redevelopment of the Prince
Edward Building a roaring success for the
entire community.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Globe
Theatre, thank you to Globe Theatre’s
artists and staff, who employ their
tremendous talents and energy to making
Globe Theatre a success. We recognize
your dedication and commitment and
know that the Theatre exists because of
your drive, professionalism and creativity.
Most importantly, thank you to Globe
Theatre’s patrons, volunteers, sponsors
and donors who have all made such
significant contributions to the Theatre.
Your commitment and generosity to Globe
Theatre are unparalleled and are crucial to
Globe’s continuing success and growth.
We are all excited to start the next chapter
of Globe’s history.

Wingfield Lost And Found
Feb 12 – Mar 2, 2014
By Dan Needles
Starring Rod Beattie
Directed by Douglas Beattie
T
he 2013-2014 season featured some
outstanding work on both of our
stages, a significant development in
terms of our facility, and the announcement
of Globe Theatre’s first provincial tour in
decades.
Director and choreographer Max Reimer
staged two wonderful albeit wildly
different productions on the main stage:
the delightfully silly The Last Resort set
in northern Saskatchewan as well as the
inspiring and moving Man of La Mancha
set in 15th Century Spain during the time
of the Inquisition. The creative team of
director Courtenay Dobbie, designers Scott
Penner (sets), Bonnie Deakin (costumes),
Louise Guinand (lighting), and Jeremy Sauer
(sound composition and design) created a
glorious, fantastical world for the premiere
production of Sleeping Beauty. Judy Wensel
made her main stage directing debut with
a beautiful production of Salt-Water Moon
that featured the brilliant design talents of
Andrew Cull. Veteran actor and director
Valerie Ann Pearson brought together a
stellar cast for Becky’s New Car and Rod
Beattie was back at the Globe performing
the seventh installment of the Wingfield
Series, Wingfield Lost and Found. Our
special presentation of 2 Pianos 4 Hands in
June delighted audiences of all ages.

The
Shumiatcher
Sandbox
Series
showcases original work by Saskatchewan
artists. The multi-talented Judy Wensel
wrote and performed Shangri-La which
was set in a fictional small prairie town in
1963. Shangri-La toured to the Uno Fest in
Victoria later in the spring. Puppeteer, visual
artist and performer Tamara Unroe created
a breath-taking underwater world from
trash for her mesmerizing performance
of Lipstick Smears and Mermaid Tears:
Memoirs of a Sinking Soul. Globe Theatre
Conservatory graduates Rebecca Lascue
and Dakota Hebert wrote and performed
a heart-warming comedy, Conrad Roy:
Daffily Ever After that chronicled an
“While beattIe brings
them alive as distinct
individuals, theY all share
one thing in common …
a script packed with
line after line of quite
complex dialogue.”
-joe couture, the leader post, review of
wingfield lost and found
aspiring actor’s journey to stardom. Colby
Richardson and Jonah McFadzean’s
science fiction fantasy Alexander Abram’s
Magical Space Boots amazed us all with
its unique convergence of visual art,
theatre and projected animations. Greg
Ochitwa’s inspired leadership and direction
of the Fusion Project culminated in an
exceptional performance by an ensemble of
emerging artists.

On January 15, 2014, we closed the deal
to purchase the Prince Edward Building,
Globe Theatre’s rented home since 1980.
The opportunity to buy this historic building
arrived when we least expected it. We had
spent four years exploring other options for
a new facility after our Board of Directors
determined that it would be imprudent
to spend any more money on repairs and
upgrades to a building that we did not own.
(We carried out a $1.2 million renovation in
1998 and a $2 million renovation in 2005. A
building assessment carried out in 2010 by
Janis Barlow and Associates recommended
another $2 million in urgent repairs.) Then
out of the blue, I received an email from
one of the building owners saying that they
wanted to sell. A group of local developers,
architects, engineers and business leaders
came together to assist us in carrying out
the due diligence on the building and to
put together the offer to purchase. Globe
Theatre’s Board of Directors provided
tremendous support and leadership to
senior management as the deal came
together. We all recognized that this was
a momentous opportunity to secure the
theatre’s future. Heartfelt thanks to the
visionary community leaders and board
members who helped us accomplish this
new chapter in Globe Theatre’s history.
“to reveal the details
would be a disservice.
you should discover the
rest for yourself and
i hope you will.”
-Nick Miliokas, review of The Last Resort
In March we announced a provincial tour
of A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline. The
tour was launched with a two week run
at Persephone Theatre in August before
heading out on the highways to Moose Jaw,
Swift Current, Yorkton, North Battleford,
Shaunavon, and Lloydminster. The tour is
generously supported by the Saskatchewan
Arts Board and Kramer Ltd.
The Globe production team created
exceptional work on both stages. From
the moose head for The Last Resort to the
Spanish dungeon for Man of La Mancha,
from the beautiful hand-hooked rug for SaltWater Moon to the fairy world of Sleeping
Beauty, this incredibly talented and hardworking team created theatre magic. Many
thanks to Steven Balkwill, Devon Bonneau,
Jody Burkholder, Kelsey Elvin, Charity
Gadica, Jeff Hamon, Patrick James, Norm
Daschle and all of the cutters, stitchers,
carpenters, scenic painters, technicians and
dressers who surprised and delighted us
throughout the season with their artistry.
Our amazing administration team kept the
organizational and financial wheels rolling
smoothly through a twelve play season, the
purchase of the building, and the organization
of the provincial tour. Hats off to Andrew
North, Kathy Schaffer, Maureen Bachmann,
Ashley Seidler, Catie Marsh, Jared Carlson,
Jonathan Hamelin, Dawn Bergstrom,
Karen Jurzyniec, Meghan Trenholm, Vicky
Sutherland and Brittney MacFarlane for all
of their many contributions to the theatre’s
success. And a great big thank you to all of
our board members and volunteers for your
time, expertise and commitment to Globe
Theatre.

Redevelopment of the Prince Edward Building
T
he Prince Edward Building is one
of Regina and Saskatchewan’s
most important and beautiful
heritage buildings. Originally built to
house the Post Office and the Custom
and Inland Revenue departments, it
also served as the provincial legislature
prior to the completion of the Legislative
Building in 1912. After 1928, the building
accommodated the district headquarters
of the RCMP and eventually was
purchased by the City of Regina and used
as the City Hall until 1976. The building
was purchased by private developers and
Globe Theatre became a tenant in 1980.
The Prince Edward Building is an
architectural jewel in Regina’s downtown
albeit a jewel sorely in need of significant
upgrades and repairs. Now that we are the
proud owners of this beautiful heritage
building, we are committed to repairing
and restoring the exterior of the building
and transforming the interior into one of
10
the finest theatre facilities in Canada that
will serve the needs of patrons, artists,
staff and the community as a whole.
In June of 2014, after carefully
vetting several proposals from Regina
architectural firms, we awarded P3A the
contract to work with Globe Theatre on
redevelopment options for the Prince
Edward Building.
P3A and Globe Theatre will specifically
focus on enhancing the audience
experience on the main stage by
improving sight lines, ensuring that there
is adequate leg room for all of the seats,
upgrading the washrooms and lobbies,
replacing the passenger elevator, adding
a freight elevator, and making it easier for
our patrons to move between floors.
We expect that we will be able to share
our plans for the building redevelopment
with the public by early 2015.
“We decided to ‘seize the day’ and invest in a building
that is an historic landmark, that is closely tied to
the hearts and minds of our patrons and the wider
community with Globe Theatre.”
-Ruth Smillie, Artistic Director and CEO
2013 | 2014 THEATRE SCHOOL
T
hrough
year-round
classes,
community
workshops,
and
outreach projects, the Globe
Theatre School brought theatre-based
programming to over a thousand people
across Saskatchewan during the 2013|14
season.
The Summer Laboratory was a great
success with a total of 115 students
participating in our two-week creation
camps that culminate with performances
on the Globe Main Stage. The new
addition of a camp specifically for
immigrant and refugee youth was added
thanks to a partnership with the Regina
Open Door Society and funding from the
Community Initiatives Fund.
The theatre school continued to
connect with the community through
free workshops and Globe-On-TheRoad, our provincial outreach program.
Acting workshops for teens were held
in Victoria Park in partnership with
Regina Downtown, Pilot Butte had 125
participants come out for workshops
during Culture Days, and Globe-On-TheRoad visited Wawota School to facilitate
children’s acting workshops.

The fall and winter Children and Teen
Creative Drama program continued to
flourish this year with enrollment of close
to 350 students. New Adult Improv and
Acting Fundamentals classes were a huge
success. Our two Evolution projects,
advanced 20-week creation classes for
teens, performed at the Cathedral Village
Arts Festival in May. The 2014 Fusion
Project, a rigorous three-month training
and creation project for young artists ages
16-19, was directed by Globe Theatre
Conservatory graduate Greg Ochitwa.
Under Greg’s direction the ensemble
of 9 young artists produced a unique
work of theatre presented as part of the
Shumiatcher Sandbox Series.
The theatre school continued its mandate
to increase accessibility by bringing arts
education to children who experience
social and financial barriers. The
Enbridge Educational Outreach Project,
in partnership with the Regina Public
School Board and funding assistance
from SaskCulture’s Multicultural Initiative,
reached 350 children this year. The
project brought over 100 workshops to 10
classrooms in Regina community schools
and offered 3 after-school programs in
target communities. Artist educators
worked with students to promote dialogue
and multicultural collaboration; students
learned how to work together, embrace
differences and take risks in a safe and
creative environment.
A new Corporate Improv program was
designed this season; a model that uses
the fundamental skills of improvisation to
teach team building and creative thinking
in a professional development context.
The program underwent a workshop
development phase and will be introduced
in 2014|15.
All of the instructors at the Globe
Theatre School are professional theatre,
dance, and visual artists who maintain
strong artistic careers while sharing
a commitment to arts education. Our
artist educators took part in a number
of professional development workshops
this year, including a Varrick Grimes
Community Arts workshop through
Common Weal, team management
practices workshop, and an outreach
session that focused on the Medicine
Wheel. The Theatre School continues
to find new professional development
opportunities for our instructors to
support their teaching practices and their
artistic practices.

2014 GLOBE THEATRE CONSERVATORY
ACTOR TRAINING PROGRAM
T
he Globe Theatre Conservatory
began in 2008 with the goal of
providing
rigorous
professional
training in classical and contemporary
theatre to emerging Saskatchewan
artists. Since 2008, thirty-one students
have graduated from the conservatory
many of whom are now working on the
Globe stages and at theatres across
Canada. The sixteen-week program (May
to August) is offered every two years at
Globe Theatre; artists are selected for the
conservatory through an audition process.
Graduates of the 2014 conservatory will
be showcased in Globe Theatre’s main
stage production of Shakespeare’s Much
Ado About Nothing that will be directed by
Marti Maraden.
The instructors and directors for the 2014
conservatory are all leading Canadian
theatre professionals.

The play's designer's notes state that the look was

2013 | 2014 AUDIT AND FINANCE REPORT
Alexander Abrams’
magical space boots
Feb 28 & Mar 1, 2014
F
or the second year in a row, the
Globe Theatre Society has achieved
outstanding financial success. The
Audited Financial Statements for the 20132014 season report positive results with
an excess of revenues over expenses of
$150,203, a 16% increase over last year.
The most notable change in the theatre’s
financial position is the purchase of the
Prince Edward Building.
It is important to understand that the
potential risks and opportunities in the
acquisition of the Prince Edward Building
were carefully considered before the theatre
moved ahead with the purchase in January
of 2014. Ownership of the building will have
no impact on the theatre’s operating budget.
Revenues generated from the facility are
sufficient to cover the building expenses
including all debt servicing. Funds used
for the down payment for the purchase of
the building will be repaid through a capital
campaign which we expect to launch in
2015. Globe Theatre is very grateful to all
the private companies and their business
leaders for supporting this opportunity and
bringing it to fruition.
Compared to the 2012-2013 financial
statements, total revenues decreased by
$167,934 primarily because the theatre
reduced the total number of performances in
the season. 2 Pianos 4 Hands was the only
special event during the 2013-2014 season;
an extension of Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story
and a special presentation of A Closer Walk
With Patsy Cline boosted box office revenues
during the 2012-2013 season. In fact, the
numbers of tickets sold per performance
are in-line with previous years. The Building
Operations Fund generated $171,370 for
the initial six months of ownership. Private
sector and public sector revenues are up
4.5% year over year. This increase is directly
related to services that were provided free
24

of charge to complete the acquisition of
the property and a onetime grant from the
Saskatchewan Arts Board.
By Colby Richardson and Jonah McFadzean
Shumiatcher Sandbox Series
Total expenses have also decreased by
$188,372. Artistic expenses, as noted in
previous years, are directly related to cast
sizes, scale of productions and the overall
number of performances so this line item
varies from season to season. Facilities
expenses have increased significantly year
over year as it includes all expenses attributed
to the Building Operations. The administration
expenses increased by 5% year over year
due to a 2% cost of living increase for staff
and the allocation of 50% of the theatre’s
fourth floor rent to administration to make
our reporting consistent with CADAC’s
classifications. (CADAC is the acronym for
Canadian Arts Data which is a web based
application dedicated to the collection,
dissemination and analysis of financial and
statistical information about Canadian arts
organizations.) Marketing expenses are a
variable of total single ticket sales targets
so we saw a year over year decrease in
marketing costs.
The revenues in excess of expenses during
the 2013-2014 fiscal year eliminated our
accumulated operating deficit of $23,853. As
mentioned previously, the down payment for
the purchase of the building was paid from
the operating budget. A total of $147,796
was transferred to the Capital Fund and
Building Operations Fund to cover capital
costs incurred during the season and the
property acquisition. A total of $50,000 was
transferred to the Working Capital Reserve.
Congratulations to management and thank
you
to the patrons and supporters of
The Globe Theatre Society, for another
excellent season.
