This year’s Gala performance is inspired by the legacy of our former trustee, Lisa Garcia Quiroz. Lisa had a profound commitment to creating an equitable world and believed deeply in The Public’s role in driving that work forward. Her passion as a visionary philanthropist on behalf of Time Warner and her belief in The Public’s mission continues to light our way in all we do.

“The production couldn’t be better! The cast is outstanding, under the incisive direction of Edward Torres.” —Times of San Diego
“Plenty of deep-textured, hard-won hope. I’m definitely ready to see more from this author!” —San Diego Story

Ramona Keller and More to Star in ‘Familiar’ at Old Globe

Ramona Keller, Anthony Comis, Lucas Hall, Danny Johnson, Wandachristine, Cherene Snow, Olivia Washington, and Zakiya Young will star in the production. The creative team will include Walt Spangler (scenic design), Alejo Vietti (costume design), Jason Lyons (lighting design), Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen (sound design), Somi (composer), Rufaro Gwarada (cultural consultant), Caparelliotis Casting (casting), and Jess Slocum (production stage manager).

The Old Globe has announced the cast and creative team for its new production of Danai Gurira’s Familiar, directed by Edward Torres, and running January 26-March 3 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage, with opening night set for Thursday, January 31.

The play is described as follows: “It’s winter in Minnesota, and an immigrant Zimbabwean family is preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter. But when the bride insists on observing roora, a traditional bride-price ceremony, it opens a deep rift in the household. Rowdy and affectionate, Familiar pitches tradition against assimilation among the members of one devoted family. Which will prove stronger: the customs they keep…or the secrets they’ve kept buried?” Via Theatermania

Thoroughly Modern Millie – Goodspeed Musicals

ABOUT THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE

In 1922 New York, all the modern girls are sporting bobbed hair and heightened hemlines! Newcomer Millie is no exception, jumping headlong into a makeover and a dizzy plan to marry rich—until she falls for a penniless charmer. Her jazz-kissed adventures are crowded with a flurry of flappers, a runaway heiress, a nefarious landlady and more. A mix of madcap mistaken identity, high-spirited show tunes and tap-happy dance has more kick than bootleg gin in the Tony Award-winning Best Musical.   Book by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan | New Music by Jeanine Tesori | New Lyrics by Dick Scanlan
