Welcome to
Welcome to Whoville! We are pleased to be addressing you jointly for the very first time as we launch a new chapter in the history of The Old Globe. We look forward to honoring and building upon this theatre’s cherished traditions by creating extraordinary theatre for you. No Globe tradition is more beloved than our annual production of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! We celebrate its 15th Anniversary this year, a milestone that would not have been possible without the support of one very special person. For more than three decades, Audrey Geisel has been close to the heart of The Old Globe, providing support through her kindness, warm smile, charming wit and great generosity. She is a champion of the arts in this community, serving as philanthropist, advocate and leader for many institutions. The production that you see today is on our stage thanks to Theodor Geisel’s creativity and Audrey’s vision and most sincere friendship. Tens of thousands of children have come to know live theatre through the Grinch, and we are grateful to Audrey that each year we are able to mount this production and introduce more young people to this magical art form.
Managing Director Michael G. Murphy with recently appointed Artistic Director Barry Edelstein.
We are so proud that for the last 15 years, our audiences have made The Old Globe part of their holiday celebrations. From everyone here in Whoville, we offer our sincere wishes for a happy holiday season and a theatre-filled 2013.

LEADERSHIP GIFTS
Dear friends of Whoville, Welcome to the 15th Anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! at The Old Globe. We are grateful to our dear friend Audrey “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, who generously gives the gift of The Grinch to the Globe and to San Diego year after year. We thank her for her passion, love and support, which help us reach thousands of young people through our literacy programs and free student matinees. Another great milestone in the Globe’s history occurred this fall — the appointment of The Old Globe’s new Artistic Director, Barry Edelstein. After a 10-month international search, the Board of Directors’ Search Committee selected Barry, and I know you will join me in welcoming him to San Diego. I cannot let this opportunity pass without an urgent appeal for your support through a year-end gift. Only half of the theatre’s revenue comes from ticket sales. As a not-for-profit, The Old Globe relies on you — not only as a ticket buyer but also as a donor. Your gift ensures the future of programs like the Grinch Literacy Initiatives, Shakespeare Initiatives and Free Student Matinee programs. Sit back and enjoy this San Diego holiday tradition, which we are pleased to share with you, your family and your friends. While you are here, take a look at our new season’s schedule and book your seats now for 2013. Happy Holidays, and may your heart grow three sizes this year!

Production Sponsors Audrey Geisel One of the Globe’s nearest and dearest friends, Audrey S. Geisel, has supported theatre and education programs at the Globe for many years, and in 2012 the theatre celebrates its 15th Anniversary production of her greatest gift to the community: Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! A longtime La Jolla resident, Audrey serves as President and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and President of the Dr. Seuss Foundation, which supports a variety of arts, education and literacy organizations in San Diego. Though Audrey shows tremendous generosity to many worthwhile organizations, her love of learning and literacy has been the driving force in her charitable giving, benefiting The Center for Family Literacy, San Diego Zoological Society, Vista Hill, La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD and, of course, The Old Globe. The Globe wishes to acknowledge and thank Audrey for supporting this beloved holiday production for 15 glorious years and for her deep and abiding commitment to The Old Globe.
For several decades Bank of America has been a vital partner in providing world-class theatre and outstanding arts education programs to thousands of San Diegans, and The Old Globe again salutes them for their support this year on the 15th Anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! This gift enables thousands of students from San Diego County to attend free matinee performances of The Grinch. Bank of America has previously sponsored Globe productions of Since Africa, Kingdom, Beethoven, As I Knew Him, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, What the World Needs Now, The Real Thing and Time and Again.
SDG&E and the Sempra family of companies have been committed to supporting The Old Globe and the nationally-known education programs that enhance the lives of San Diego residents for many years. SDG&E believes strongly in the Globe’s artistic work and is proud to be celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! SDG&E has helped launch two Globe Broadway-bound musicals: The Full Monty and Damn Yankees. The Old Globe salutes SDG&E and shares the belief that outstanding cultural programs contribute to the development of strong youth leaders in the San Diego community.
Gloria and Dick Rasmussen Gloria and Dick Rasmussen have enjoyed productions at The Old Globe for many years as season subscribers. Having lived and traveled all over the world both for work and pleasure, the couple now calls Coronado their home. They are avid lovers of the performing arts, including live theatre and the opera, as well as organizations that increase the quality of life for children with health concerns. Gloria and Dick strongly believe in the importance of a well-rounded education that includes both the arts and sciences, and they are proud to support the Globe’s many artistic and education efforts, including the theatre’s Free Student Matinee Series.
The Old Globe is pleased to recognize Random House Children’s Books for their generous support of the theatre’s 15th Anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and for donating thousands of Dr. Seuss books to Title One school children who will attend free student matinees this holiday season. The Old Globe applauds Random House for this magnificent gift that will encourage so many children to read and will give them a special book to treasure for years to come. PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE 7

KEN HOWARD
A look back at 15 years of Cindy-Lou Whos!
“I can’t believe it’s already been 15 years since our opening of The Grinch. I remember it so vividly, as if it were yesterday. The smells of Christmas, the spirit, singing the songs, working with Jack O’Brien (and not to forget Punky, his little doggie that followed his every footstep) and the thrill of performing at The Old Globe. It was magical, and I will never forget it.”
“Those were absolutely magical years for me that I think of often. As an eight-year-old who had never stepped onstage before, the experience was life-changing. After all these years I am still in touch with many people from The Grinch family, some of whom are very close friends to this day.”

She plans to graduate from high school a year early and hopes to go to Princeton. “Being a part of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! greatly impacted who I have become today. At the Globe I was surrounded by wonderful actors, directors and crew who always made me feel special. I look back on those years with fondness. Happy 15th birthday to Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”

to have had an entire year (1987) proclaimed in his honor, and to be named one of San Diego’s “Living Treasures.” He was a founder of the California Theatre Council and a former vice president of the California Confederation of the Arts. His numerous honors include The San Diego Union-Tribune list of 25 persons who shaped the city’s history; the Governor’s Award for the Arts; University of Arizona Alumni Association’s Outstanding Citizen, for his contribution to their Fine Arts department; San Diego State University’s Outstanding Alumnus; Conservator of American Arts Award from American Conservatory Theater; the San Diego Press Club Headliner Award; San Diego Gentleman of Distinction Award; and a combined tribute from the Public Arts Advisory Council and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Grinch-y Activities Answer Key The Grinch HATED Christmas! His HEART was two sizes too SMALL . All the Who BOYS and GIRLS would wake bright and early. “I must STOP this Christmas from coming!” He loaded some bags and some empty old SACKS on a ramshackle SLEIGH and he hitched up poor Max. That Grinch even took their last can of Who- HASH ! On their WALLS he left nothing but hooks and some wire. Every Who down in Whoville, the TALL and the small, was SINGING ! The minute his heart didn’t feel quite so TIGHT , he whizzed with his load through the bright MORNING light and he brought back the TOYS ! M W C P H G I E L S N P
