The Old Globe sends its profound thanks to the Globe Guilders. For 67 years, this volunteer auxiliary dedicated countless hours to the Globe, raising funds and awareness for the theatre’s artistic and arts engagement programs. They fed our artists at first rehearsal meet-and-greets, adopted the students in The Old Globe and University of San Diego Shiley Graduate Theatre Program, welcomed guests with food and smiles at December Nights, volunteered their skills in every department of the Globe, raised money through the tremendously successful annual fundraiser Guilders Fashion Show, and so much more.

Theatre survives because of loyal and loving supporters, and the Globe Guilders were paragons of the belief that theatre matters. Though the group came to an end in 2022, the impact they’ve made on this institution will last for many years to come. Thank you, Globe Guilders, for everything you have given us.
