With support from the California Arts Council, OLD GLOBE THEATRE will produce a new project through coLAB, a Globe program that fosters collaborations between professional artists and community members to create original theatrical work for their own community. In 2019, lead artist Daniel Jáquez and residents of City Heights will develop a new performance piece for their 2019 Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) Festival. Free, public performances will be offered in City Heights and Balboa Park.
The Tony Award-winning Old Globe is one of the country’s leading professional regional theatres and has stood as San Diego’s flagship arts institution for nearly 90 years. Under the leadership of Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and Managing Director Timothy J. Shields, The Old Globe produces a year-round season of 14 productions of classic, contemporary, and new works on its three stages and in the community. More than 200,000 people attend productions annually and participate in the theatre’s artistic and arts engagement programs, including Globe for All, a touring production that brings Globe work free-of-charge to diverse, multi-generational audiences at libraries, senior centers, military installations, homeless shelters and correctional facilities across the region. Numerous world premieres such as the 2014 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” were developed at the Globe and enjoyed successful runs on Broadway and beyond.
