This fall’s free Globe for All Tour brings Shakespeare’s enchanting As You Like It to communities across San Diego and Tijuana, directed by the award-winning Emil Weinstein (last year’s The Comedy of Errors). Banished from the court by her distrustful uncle, the Duke, Rosalind and her cousin Celia journey to the magical Forest of Arden to escape from their world of oppression. Far from the confines of court life, the duo encounter the dashing Orlando and the follies of young romance ensue. Inspired by the beautiful and storied history of San Diego, Shakespeare’s rollicking romantic comedy comes to life with color and music to weave a charming tale of mistaken identity, self-exploration, and the endearing pursuit of love.
Since the inception of the Globe for All Tour in 2014, approximately 16,000 community members have experienced a performance. These tours offer free-of-charge admission to shows in nontheatrical venues such as gymnasiums, cafeterias, shelters, senior centers, refugee community centers, military installations, and correctional facilities, and give audiences an intimate and compelling theatrical experience that fosters a shared sense of connection between performers and audiences. The majority of attendees are experiencing live theatre for the very first time.
Globe for All is supported by lead supporters Sheryl and Harvey White. Additional support is provided by The Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation, PNC Bank, and University of San Diego. Performances for veterans and military families are supported by Creative Forces Community Engagement Grants, part of the National Endowment for the Arts’ Creative Forces initiative, in partnership with Mid-America Arts Alliance. Financial support is provided by The City of San Diego. The Theodor and Audrey Geisel Fund provides leadership support for The Old Globe’s year-round activities.
The creative team includes Emil Weinstein (Director), Kristen Flores (Scenic and Props Design), Mayté Martinez (Costume Design), Chandra R.M. Anthenill (Production Stage Manager), and Evelyn G. Myers (Assistant Stage Manager).
