The Old Globe's GLOBE FOR ALL returns to bring free professional Shakespeare directly to diverse, multigenerational audiences in underserved communities around San Diego County. This second year of GLOBE FOR ALL follows a highly successful inaugural production in 2014. One of the Bard's most charming comedies, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, will be directed by renowned Shakespearean Rob Melrose, Artistic Director of San Francisco's Cutting Ball Theater, who makes his Globe debut. He directs a cast of local professional actors, including recent graduates of the Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program.

The GLOBE FOR ALL free Shakespeare tour will begin tonight, November 10 and will culminate in four low-cost performances on November 21 and 22 in the Globe's rehearsal halls, part of Balboa Park's historic House of Charm.

GLOBE FOR ALL helps make theatre matter to audiences who, for whatever reason, do not enjoy regular access to the professional performing arts. The tour visits locations as varied as military bases, recreation centers, libraries, centers for the elderly, homeless shelters, and correctional facilities. With production values scaled to non-theatrical venues such as gymnasiums, cafeterias, and multipurpose rooms, the tour gives audiences an intimate, up-close, and visceral experience of live performance and fosters a shared sense of community between performer and spectator. For some, the GLOBE FOR ALL tour is their first experience seeing a piece of live theatre, and for others, it is an exciting return to the art form. In addition to providing the community with free access to professional performances of Shakespeare, GLOBE FOR ALL enriches the theatre experience by offering free workshops and other activities. Many of our community performances will feature a mask-making workshop at the venue one hour prior to the performance; these masks will be incorporated into the show, making audiences a part of the action.

Venues for the 2015 tour include South Bay Community Services at Castle Park Elementary School; Chaldean and Middle-Eastern Social Services at St. Michael Chaldean Catholic Church; Veteran's Village of San Diego; Fourth District Seniors Resource Center at the George L. Stevens Senior Center; Valencia Park/Malcolm X Library; San Diego Central Library; Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation; Las Colinas Detention Facility; Naval Base San Diego; California State Prison, Centinela; and Father Joe's Villages.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is one of Shakespeare's most popular and charming comedies. Soldiers return victorious from battle, their sights now set on the peacetime pleasures of love and merrymaking. But for Shakespeare's wittiest couple, Beatrice and Benedick, romance is a "merry war" all its own, and their clever barbs protect their wary hearts.

The cast includes local actors and GLOBE FOR ALL returnees Monique Gaffney (Beatrice, Sexton) and Christopher Salazar (Benedick, 1st Watchman), also a graduate of the Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program; recent Old Globe/USD M.F.A. Program graduates Lindsay Brill (Margaret, Verges, Friar Francis), Charlotte Bydwell (Hero), Lowell Byers (Don John, Dogberry, Antonio, Messenger), Jamal Douglas (Claudio, 2nd Watchman), Tyler Kent (Don Pedro, Conrade), and Patrick Zeller (Leonato, Borachio, Balthazar); and two local musicians, Mark Danisovszky and Clinton Davis.

The creative staff includes Robin Sanford Roberts (Scenic Design), Charlotte Devaux (Costume Design), Clinton Davis (Original Music, Music Director), and Diana Moser (Production Stage Manager).

2014's inaugural production of GLOBE FOR ALL performed in homeless shelters, centers for the elderly, military bases, prisons, and other community venues for nearly 900 audience members who face obstacles coming to the Globe's theatres. After a performance at Centinela State Prison, one inmate said, "How amazing it is that we who seem so easily overlooked can be given such a pleasure." In addition to its eight community stops, GLOBE FOR ALL also played three low-cost performances at the Globe. This year, the tour is returning to many of these same venues, with several new and vital communities added to the roster.

"Since my arrival in San Diego I've looked for ways to share the wonders of The Old Globe with more and more of our city, and I was thrilled at the great success and enormous impact of last year's inaugural GLOBE FOR ALL tour," said Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. "It's our core conviction that theatre in general, and Shakespeare in particular, are necessary to living a full and rich life, and yet we recognize that some in our city either don't know about the work we do or cannot enjoy regular access to it. It is therefore our obligation to help overcome whatever barriers-economic, geographical, and cultural-stand between us and the widest possible cross section of our city. GLOBE FOR ALL is an exciting way to bring the joys and thrills of live, professional Shakespeare to San Diegans who may not have experienced them before. We are grateful to the community-based organizations that are partnering with us and to the civic-minded philanthropies that are supporting this effort. Together, we can make theatre matter to many more of our fellow citizens."

Southeastern San Diego, home of the Globe's Technical Center, is one of the key areas served by GLOBE FOR ALL. When the Globe Technical Center began operations there in 2008, the Globe began extensive outreach into the surrounding neighborhoods and deepened relationships with community organizations including the Jackie Robinson YMCA, Writerz Blok, the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, Lincoln High School, San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, Freese Elementary, and other local schools, St. Stephen's Church, and other organizations. The James Irvine Foundation, Legler Benbough Foundation, and San Diego Foundation were major supporters of this earlier initiative, The Globe Residency Project. Highlights included productions of Kingdom, an award-winning musical about the cycle of gang violence, and Welcome to Arroyo's, about the birth of hip hop, performed at both Lincoln High School and The Old Globe; the world premiere of Odyssey, a musical event that featured over 200 community members performing alongside professional actors; and Emancipated, a one-act play by and about young people who had "aged out" of the foster care system. The GLOBE FOR ALL community Shakespeare tour reinforces the theatre's ongoing commitment to serving residents of Southeastern San Diego and reaching other local communities.
