Dairrick's Story
How You Make Theatre Matter
"Growing up in San Diego, I dreamed of a future as a performer and playwright, but I was in foster care and didn’t know what my future held. When I was emancipated at the age of 18, I had no means of support, and I became homeless.
"Some of those homeless nights I would sleep outside on the ground of The Old Globe’s Copley Plaza. I clearly remember lying there, looking at the theatres, daring to imagine a day when I might share in the joy of theatre.
"Against all odds, that day came. The Globe’s Arts Engagement Department heard about me and invited me to participate in Community Voices, a free program that guides community members in writing original plays. I learned that my story was worth telling. I mattered.
"That experience with the Globe changed my life. It gave me purpose again.
"Amazingly, I am now employed at the Globe. I work with people all across San Diego County who are just like me: people searching for hope, for community, for a voice. I make theatre matter. And you can too."
Dairrick's story is like so many others. When people encounter the magic of theatre, they are empowered, enthralled, and engaged by our shared humanity. Your support makes stories like this possible. Thank you.
