Welcome

UPCOMING

Executive Producer

Dear Friends,

I am pleased to welcome you to our production of anunforgettable classic, Tennessee Williams’ The GlassMenagerie, the play that established TennesseeWilliams as a brilliant voice in American theatre. Weare especially delighted to welcome two-time EmmyAward-winning actressMareWinningham in the roleof Amanda.

This production is the second in our “Classics UpClose” series, bringing you classics of American

theatre in the intimate setting of an arena stage. The sense of immediacy fostered bybeing nomore than a few rows from the actors invites you to re-visit these well-knownplays with a fresh perspective and new insights.

Intimacy between stage and audience has been the hallmark of the Cassius CarterCentre Stage since it opened in 1969. But after nearly 40 years, with this productionwe say goodbye to this venerable stage.We have planned a vibrant new theatre center,including a new arena stage and a new education center. Rest assured that preservingthe intimacy of your experience in the Carter has been our highest priority in design-ing our new theatre complex. The new theatre will be a small arena stage with audi-ence seated no more than five rows deep on all sides. The differences you will noticeare its enhanced capabilities for lighting, sound, and scenic effects and improved audi-ence comfort. We are sure the new space will soon become as beloved as the Carterhas been. Take a moment to watch the DVD previewing the new theatre center, nowplaying in the lobby!

We are fortunate that, just steps from the Globe at the San Diego Museum of Art, wewill be able to offer you uninterrupted enjoyment of close-up productions during theconstruction period. A near-replica of the Carter will be constructed “within” theMuseum’s Copley Auditorium to house our “second stage” productions during thisperiod.

As we begin construction of our new facilities, we must acknowledge the generousdonors who brought our capital and endowment campaign, Securing a San DiegoLandmark, to over 75% of its goal. As we approach the final leg of the campaign, I urgeyou to consider how you might participate in this historic effort. For ways to showyour support, please see page P7 in this program or contact our Development Office.

The Old Globe is at a very exciting point in its history.With our new facilities,we lookforward to a period of continuing growth in our artistic and education programming.Equally,we look forward to your company on our journey toward our 75th year of out-standing theatre in San Diego.

City of San Diego: Investing in Arts & Culture

CITY OF SAN DIEGO:INVESTING IN ARTS & CULTURE

The City of San Diego providescritical financial support tonon-profit arts and cultureorganizations through a rigorousapplication process managedby the City of San DiegoCommission for Arts andCulture. Each year theCommissioners and othercommunity volunteers evaluateorganizations based on artisticprogramming, educationalactivities, administrative stability, board leadership, and programs for underservedpopulations.

City funding for arts and culture is derived from the Transient Occupancy Tax(TOT), a hotel tax paid by tourists visiting San Diego. The city currently is ableto allocate less than 1% of total TOT proceeds to the Commission for distributionto qualified applicants. Yet TOT funding of arts and culture yields positive resultsand a significant economic benefit for the entire community. In 2007, theCommission for Arts and Culture invested a total of $6.4 million in 80 localorganizations, both large and small. Collectively, these arts and cultureinstitutions purchase $148.7 million in goods and services from San Diegobusinesses, provide 5,529 jobs, and attract two million out-of-town visitorseach year. A one day stay in San Diego by these cultural tourists contributes anadditional $492 million to the local economy.

For The Old Globe, funding from the San Diego Commission for Arts andCulture represents a vital annual funding source for the Theatre’s artistic projectsas well as for education and outreach programs that reach students in every CityCouncil district. The City’s investment yields a positive return, as The Old Globe’sannual economic impact in San Diego totals more than $28 million, with at least$8.6 million generated by cultural tourists attending the Summer ShakespeareFestival and other high-profile shows.

The Old Globe is grateful to the City of San Diego Commission for Arts andCulture for continually advocating on behalf of the arts and culture community.The Commission’s vision for a vibrant and successful San Diego recognizes artsand culture as a major factor in improving the local economy while enhancing thequality of life for both residents and visitors.

Letters on“The Glass Menagerie”by Tennessee Williams

From Tennessee Williams' Letters to DonaldWindham, 1940-1965. Edited with com-ments by Donald Windham. New York:Penguin Books, 1976, 1977.

These excerpts were selected from the pub-lished letters of Tennessee Williams to hisfriend Donald Windham. In them, Williamswrites about the original production of TheGlass Menagerie which he refers to at firstas “The Gentleman Caller."

April 22, 1943I am out of cigarettes and very nervous so Icannot write much of a letter. I have beenwriting with tigerish intensity on “TheGentleman Caller" every day, and today Ifelt like I was going to just blow up, so Iquit.What I am doing to that quiet littleplay I don't know.

July 28, 1943“The Gentleman Caller" remains my chiefwork, but it goes slowly. I feel no over-whelming interest in it. It lacks the vio-lence that excited me, so I piddle aroundwith it. My picture work is to make a sce-nario out of “Billy the Kid" material —asgood an assignment I could hope for, but Iam lazy about it and barely am started.

July ?, 1944I have just finished the “Caller" and amslowly retyping it. I think I will submit theshort version first and if people like it, willadd the rest. It is not a very exciting busi-ness but it keeps me occupied while I waitfor the energy to do something moreimportant.

The following is excerptedfrom an article written byMel Gussow, published inThe New York Times onFebruary 26, 1983, one dayafter the playwright’s death.

Tennessee Williams,whose innovative dramaand sense of lyricism werea major force in the post-war American theater, wasthe author of more than 24full-length plays, includingThe Glass Menagerie, AStreetcar Named Desire, andCat on a Hot Tin Roof. Hehad a profound effect onthe American theater andon American playwrights

and actors. He wrote with deep sympathy and expansive humor about outcasts inour society. Though his images were often violent, he was a poet of the humanheart.

The Glass Menagerie, his first success, was his “memory play.'' Although seldomintentionally autobiographical, his plays were almost all intensely personal – tornfrom his own private anguishes and anxieties. He remembered his sister's roomin the family home in St. Louis, with her collection of glass figures, as represent-ing “all the softest emotions that belong to recollection of things past.'' But, heremembered, outside the room was an alley in which, nightly, dogs destroyed cats.His basic premise, he said, was “the need for understanding and tenderness

and fortitude among individuals trapped by circumstance.'' The most successfulserious playwright of his time, he did not write for success but, as one friend said,as a “biological necessity.''Thomas Lanier Williams was born in Columbus,Miss., on March 26, 1911. His

mother, the former Edwina Dakin, was the puritanical daughter of an Episcopalrector. His father, Cornelius Coffin Williams, was a violent and aggressive travel-ing salesman. There was an older daughter, Rose (memorialized as Laura in TheGlass Menagerie), and a younger brother named Walter Dakin.While his father traveled, Tom was mostly brought up overprotected by his

mother — particularly after he contracted diphtheria at the age of 5. By the timethe family moved to St. Louis, young Tom retreated into himself. He made up andtold stories, many of them scary.

August 18 or25, 1944Have finished “The Caller." No doubt itgoes in my reservoir of noble efforts. It isthe last play I will try to write for the nowexisting theater.

December 18, 1944(At this time, The Glass Menagerie wasrehearsing in Chicago.)We're having a bloody time of it here — asexpected. Yesterday, Sunday evening, Ithought the situation was hopeless — asTaylor was ad libbing practically everyspeech and the show sounded like theAunt Jemima Pancake hour.We all gotdrunk, and this A.M. Taylor was evenworse. I finally lost my temper and whenshe made one of her little insertions Iscreamed over the footlights, “My God,what corn!" She screamed back I was a fooland playwrights made her sick — then shecame back after lunch and suddenly begangiving a real acting performance — sogood that Julia and I, the sentimentalelement in the company, wept. So I don'tknow what to think or expect . . .

January 11, 1945It is four A.M. but I feel like talking to youa little. The show is doing swell now.Weekends almost capacity and othernights about fifteen hundred and stillbuilding. So it looks like we'll remain here— they're selling tickets up till Feb. 10th.Everybody except Dowling is eager to getinto New York — especially Laurette. Shegets better all the time. However I guessit's wise to milk Chicago a little before weface another set of critics.

March8, 1945“The menagerie" is no lie about thiscompany — and neither is glass! I some-times wonder if we'll all really get to NewYork in one piece. The play backstage is farmore exciting than the one on!

In the fall of 1929 he went off to the University of Missouri to study journal-ism. When his childhood girlfriend, Hazel Kramer, also decided to enroll atMissouri, his father said he would withdraw him, and succeeded in breaking upthe incipient romance. It was his only known romantic relationship with awoman. In a state of depression, Tom dropped out of school and, at his father'sinstigation, took a job as a clerk in a shoe company. It was, he recalled, “livingdeath.''To survive, every day after work he retreated to his room and wrote — stories,

poems, plays — through the night. The strain finally led to a nervous breakdown.Sent to Memphis to recuperate, the young Mr.Williams joined a local theatergroup. He eventually returned to his studies at the University of Iowa in 1937,where he wrote a number of plays. Sadly, around the time of his graduation in1938, his sister lost her mind. The family allowed — with subsequent recrimina-tions — a prefrontal lobotomy to be performed, and she spent much of her life ina sanitarium.At 28, Thomas Williams left home for New Orleans, where he changed his

style of living, as well as his name. It was a reaction against his early inferior work,published under his real name. It was a college nickname, given because his fatherwas from Tennessee.In New Orleans he discovered new netherworlds, soaking up the milieu that

would appear in A Streetcar Named Desire. He wrote stories, some of which laterbecame plays, and entered a Group Theater playwriting contest. He won $100 andwas solicited by the agent Audrey Wood, who became his friend and adviser.“Miss Wood,” as she was universally known, got him a job in Hollywood writingscripts for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He began writing an original screenplay, whichwas later rejected.Still under contract, he began turning the screenplay into a play titled The

Gentleman Caller, which slowly evolved into The Glass Menagerie. On March 31, 1945,five days after its author turned 34 years old, it opened on Broadway and changedMr.Williams' life, and the American theater.His second masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire, opened in December, 1947,

and was an even bigger hit than The Glass Menagerie. It won Mr.Williams hissecond Drama Critics' award and his first Pulitzer Prize. He won his secondPulitzer for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955.For many years after Streetcar, almost every other season there was another

Williams play on Broadway (and a one-act play somewhere else). Soon there was acontinual flow from the stage to the screen. And he never stopped revising his fin-ished work. For more than 35 years, the stream was unabated. He produced anenormous body of work, including more than two dozen full-length plays, all ofthem produced a record unequaled by any of his contemporaries.He died in his New York apartment in 1983, one year after his final play, A

House Not Meant to Stand, premiered in Chicago. He was 71 years old.

I am More Faithful thanI Intended to BeByEdwinaDakinWilliams,Motherof PlaywrightTennesseeWilliams

Despite advice from theatrical friends that The GlassMenageriewould never be a success because of its fragile plotand unhappy ending,Mr. (Eddie) Dowling went ahead trying toraise money. Some of the backers wanted Tom to change theending and allow the sister and gentleman caller to fall in lovebut he firmly refused. Finally Mr.Dowling persuaded Louis J.Singer, a banker who had put money into a few Broadway pro-ductions, to invest $75,000 and the four parts ofMenageriewerethen cast.Mr.Dowling was to be the son, Laurette Taylor themother, Julie Haydon the sister, and Anthony Ross the gentle-man caller.Chicago was chosen for the out-of-town opening. Tom

asked me to come up and I was delighted, but at attending myfirst premiere and at the feeling my son needed me. . . . .. . . .The evening of the premiere was the night after Christ-

mas, Tuesday,December 26, 1944. Everything seemed againstthe play, even the weather. The streets were so ice-laden wecould not find a taxi to take us to the Civic Theatre and had towalk. The gale blowing off Lake Michigan literally hurled usthrough the theater door.

This was the first ofTom's plays I had seen,unless you count TheMagicTower, and I was thrilled tothink he had created a playwithout a wasted word andone in which everymoment added drama. Idon't think there's been aplay like it, before or since.

The audience seemedspellbound throughoutand particularly whenMr.Dowling stood to one sideof the stage and uttered the

words. “I didn't go to the moon, I went much further— for timeis the longest distance between two places . . . .Oh Laura, Laura, Itried to leave you behind me, but I ammore faithful than Iintended to be! I reach for a cigarette, I cross the street, I runinto the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I speak to the nearest

stranger— anythingthat can blow yourcandles out!"At this moment, in

the corner of the stagebehind a thin veil of acurtain, Julie bent lowover the candles in hertenement home as Mr.Dowling said sadly,“— for nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow out yourcandles, Laura and so good-bye . . . ."And the curtain dropped slowly on the world premiere of

The Glass Menagerie.At first it was so quiet I thought the audience didn't like the

play. . . . .Then, all of a sudden, a tumultuous clapping of handsbroke out. The audience had been recovering from the moodinto which the play had plunged it. . . . .. . . .I wanted to congratulate Laurette, who had brought

down the house with her amazing performance as AmandaWingfield, the faded, fretful, dominating mother lost in thedream world of her past, bullying her son into finding a gentle-man caller for his abnormally shy sister.I entered Laurette's dressing room, not knowing what to

expect, for she was sometimes quite eccentric. She was sittingwith her feet propped up on the radiator, trying to keep warm.Before I had a chance to get a word out, she greeted me.“Well, how did you like you'seff,Mis' Williams?" she asked.I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. It had not

occurred to me as I watched Tom's play that I was Amanda. . . . .. . . .Tom has contradicted himself when asked if the play

were [sic] based on his life.Once he told a reporter it was a“memory play," adding, “My mother and sister will never forgiveme for that." Then again, he denied it was autobiographical, call-ing it “a dream or fantasy play. The gentleman caller is meant tobe a symbol of the world and its attitude toward the unrealisticdreamers who are three characters in this play."

I am not Amanda. I'm sure that if Tom stops to think, herealizes I am not. The only resemblance I have to Amanda is thatwe both like jonquils.

TennesseeWilliams(Playwright)One of America's greatest playwrightsTennessee Williams wrote fiction andmotion picture screenplays, but isacclaimed primarily for his plays, nearlyall of which are set in the South, butwhich rise above regionalism toapproach universal themes.Williamsdrew heavily on his family experiencesin his writings.When The GlassMenagerie hit Broadway in 1945, it notonly changed Tennessee Williams' life,it revolutionized American theatre. AStreetcar Named Desire, The Night of theIguana and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are someof his other masterpieces.

With this production of The Glass Menagerie, we bid farewellto the Cassius Carter Centre Stage. In July 2008, constructionwill begin on the Globe’s new Conrad Prebys Theatre Center,which will house a new arena stage, the Sheryl and Harvey WhiteTheatre, and the Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center, fea-turing Hattox Hall, a 1,700 square foot training and performancespace. But we cannot move on to this exciting future withouttaking a moment to honor the history of the space upon whichthe new facilities will rise.The Carter itself is a reincarnation of an earlier space. It

began as the Falstaff Tavern at the 1935 International Expositionin Balboa Park, a “Merrie Olde Englande” theme restaurant fea-turing costumed waitresses serving hearty English fare.Following the Exposition, the space served at times as arehearsal hall, storage space for scenery, and even living quartersfor the Globe’s resident manager. By 1963, the Globe was begin-ning to grow beyond its single theatre, so 200 chairs on woodenrisers turned the Falstaff Tavern into a performance space thathoused 28 productions over the next six years.The success of these productions prompted the Globe to

invest in a second permanent stage, retaining the intimacy of theTavern space. Using some original Tavern walls, architect VictorL.Wulff designed an arena theatre with 245 seats in four sec-tions surrounding a 12.5 by 16.5 foot stage. This new space wasdubbed the Cassius Carter Centre Stage in honor of an early SanDiegan who was both a Shakespearean scholar and San Diego’sDistrict Attorney from 1902 to 1906.Over 40 years and 229 productions, the Carter has become a

beloved space for audiences and artists alike. Opening in 1969with a production of Peter Ustinov’s The Unknown Soldier and HisWife, directed by Craig Noel, the Carter was an innovative spacefor, as an early program described it, “controversial, classical,experimental or seldom performed” plays. Early productionsranged from Jean Genet’s The Balcony to Woody Allen’s Play ItAgain, Sam.

Experimental 60s staging tended toward stark sets, some-times even a bare stage, so the planners of that time could neverhave predicted the transformations later artists would imaginefor the Carter. The space before you has been everything from alake, to a parade float, to a basement with a working coal chute,to a 3-dimensional maze. And the weather we’ve conjured here!There has been blazing sun, falling rain, snow and dense fog(precisely calibrated so that audiences could see the actors butnot the audience on the opposite side).And, as you know, the actors enter the stage by the same

doors and stairs that the audience uses — as many actressescould tell you, quite a challenge in a hoop skirt! But perhaps thegreatest challenge to the arrangement of entrances and exitscame in a production of Greater Tuna, when two actors played 11characters, rushing from one door to another while changing onthe fly from, for example, a grandma in a wig, birdseed-filledbody form and cane to a dandy in a leisure suit and cowboy hat.At 40 years old, the Carter is showing its age. But its rich

history will bequeath to its successor space all we have learnedabout staging in the round. The new theatre will have the sameconfiguration as the Carter but allow for even greater flexibilityin set design and stage technology. Audience comfort willimprove as well, with easier access to seats, more leg room,restrooms accessible from the lobby, and improved disabledaccommodations. Above all, we have made it our top priority topreserve the intimacy — the close-up relationship to actors andaction — that has made the Carter so special.So, as we bid farewell, we look forward — to the newest evo-

lution of this space that, from the beginning, has been devotedto cutting edge work in the craft of theatre.

Educa t i on Exper i enc e s

THE OLD GLOBE IN THE SCHOOLSThirty students stand before their families and friends to

share their newfound knowledge of William Shakespeare, hisplays and his times. Sweet youthful voices ring out with confi-dence as they speak the Bard’s words, each child speaking frommemory, each voice echoing through the auditorium.Elsewhere teams of young people confer in their classroom

while a Teaching Artist moves from group to group, listening tothe discussions, gently asking guiding questions, enthusiastical-ly praising leaps of imagination and creativity.These are the children who are part of The Old Globe’s In-

School Residency Program. Guided by a partnership betweentheir classroom teacher and a Globe Teaching Artist, childrenwork together to take the material they have been studying inschool — anything from literature to math — and use the ele-ments of theatre they have learned from the Teaching Artist totransform their knowledge into a cohesive presentation theyultimately share with another class, their parents, or even thewhole school. After five or six weeks of working regularly withthe Teaching Artist to develop theatre skills through games,improvisation, vocal exercise, and movement, students are chal-lenged to use those skills to create a short play based on a unit ofstudy presented by the classroom teacher. As they integrate whatthey have learned about theatre and about their classroomsubject, students are empowered by creating something thatembodies what they know.But why use theatre to teach math, or history, or science? As

you know from your own experience, theatre engages the wholeperson. We use our minds, our emotions, our senses, and evenour bodies to respond to what we see on stage. Likewise, creat-ing theatre requires all those resources and more. In recentyears, educators have embraced Howard Gardner’s theory of“Multiple Intelligence.” Gardner describes nine forms of intelli-gence we all have: Logical, Linguistic, Visual, Naturalist,Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Existential, Kinesthetic, andRhythmic (for more information on the theory of multiple intel-ligence, see www.howardgardner.com). We all use all thesekinds of intelligences, but each person learns best through oneor a few of these avenues. By using all the art forms — words,images, music and sound, movement — theatre gives studentsthe opportunity to learn using many of these intelligences. And

when students are given an opportunity to learn in the way thatbest fits their own learning styles, they are more inclined to beactively engaged in their learning and more apt to retain whatthey learn. Teaching the arts supports the critical need for allstudents to have the kind of education that helps them becomewell-rounded, thinking individuals.The Old Globe’s Residency Program also benefits our hard-

working public school teachers. Working with a Globe TeachingArtist gives classroom teachers an opportunity to approach thecurriculum in a new and creative way. It gives them a way todeepen their students’ understanding and assess their knowl-edge and retention of the subject matter. And it gives them anopportunity to introduce their students to the art of theatre evenwhen the classroom teachers themselves may have no back-ground in it at all.The Old Globe Residency Program partners gifted teachers

with gifted artists who share these gifts with the precious chil-dren they have been entrusted to educate and guide. And in thatcollaboration, everyone gains. Students gain experience andknowledge of theatre and their school subjects; teachers gain bylearning new methods; and The Old Globe gains by introducingyoung people — future audiences — to the excitement oftheatre.
