HQ Function

Notable Features:

The complex includes three distinct venues: the 600-seat Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre; the 250-seat Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre (in-the-round); and the 620-seat outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre. The Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of the original building echoes Shakespeare's Globe.

A dynamic, creative, and collaborative environment driven by a passion for theatre. Staff, artists, and volunteers work intensively to produce high-quality theatrical experiences, fostering a sense of community and dedication to the arts.

HQ Significance:

Recognized as one of America's foremost regional theatres, The Old Globe is a cultural landmark in San Diego, a major producer of Shakespeare in the U.S., and an incubator for new plays and musicals, many of which have gone on to Broadway success.

Values Reflected in HQ: Artistic excellence, dedication to Shakespearean legacy, community engagement, innovation in theatrical production, inclusivity, and the transformative power of theatre.
