    Dear Friends,

    It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Globe’s 2009Winter Season and this performance of Six Degrees ofSeparation. Since breaking ground in June of 2008,we’ve made significant progress in construction of theConrad Prebys Theatre Center. We’re eagerly anticipating the opening of this exciting new facility in January2010, to coincide with the Globe’s 75th Anniversary Season.

    The Globe’s rejuvenated and enhanced facilities, containing a new arena stage and education center,willsupport the fulfillment of special artistic and educational goals. The Education Center will provide a critically

    needed permanent home for on-site classroom and performance space for our pioneering educational programsserving more than 50,000 young people each year. And a redesigned Community Plaza, accessible year-roundto the more than 12 million visitors in Balboa Park,will make more efficient use of the Globe’s public spaces.

    None of these ambitious aspirations could have been realized without the Globe’s Capital and Endowment Campaign—which I’m pleasedto report is moving toward successful conclusion with 85% of the goal achieved to date. I encourage you to consider making a Campaign giftas we enter this final phase of our fundraising efforts. From naming a room in the new Theatre Center to buying a personalized granite paver,there are many meaningful ways to become involved in this Campaign.

    We thank each and every one of you for your support of the mission and goals of The Old Globe at this important moment in our history.Enjoy the show!

    Program Notes

    JackDePalma,PlayDevelopmentDirectorat theGlobe re-cently satdownwithdirectorTripCullmantodiscuss histhoughts aboutSIXDEGREESOFSEPARATION

    JACK: Tell me about what attracted you to this play.

    TRIP: I feel that this play is a masterpiece. The first thirty minutes ofit are the best first thirty minutes of any American play ever written.It (depicts) the kind of dinner party that as a New Yorker you eitheralways dream of either having or attending. I immediately latchedonto this idea of transgression, that these people are living in thisivory tower above Fifth Avenue in this hermetic perfect palace worldand the idea of Ouisa reaching out beyond the walls of this Eden thatshe’s created for herself and how the act of empathy or reaching be-yond those walls shatters the walls and all of a sudden theWorld, in-vades upon her psyche and she’s forever transformed by that. Ithought that was quite exciting and I think it’s the theme of trans-gression actually, that goes throughout the play whether it’s how theMormon kid is seduced by Paul and sleeps with him all the way up towhat Paul does with Ouisa and Flan.

    JACK: In 1990, this play captured the zeitgeist of that time.Sometimes plays like that don’t stand the test of time. Six Degreesabsolutely does.

    TRIP: As all truly great plays do. I do think we have progressed interms of race in this country. I don’t know if it’s as politically or so-cially incendiary as it was then but certainly as a piece of writing, as apiece of art absolutely it still has incredible power. I think the dia-logue is among the best dialogue ever and also his ability to etch fullythree dimensional characters who appear for like a page, that I thinkis really extraordinary.

    JACK:What about the idea that the parents curry favor with theirchildren – the roles are reversed.

    FROM PREFACE OF HIS PLAYJohn Guare, Playwright

    A writer learns his or her life as a writer is entrusted to workbeing done in a room, a studio, an atelier not at the top of a stairbut hidden somewhere within the mind. Why the hell is the placethat is truly us the place that is most inaccessible? And a writergrows to hate that room and its gnawing presence and its inacces-sibility. A writer’s life becomes a history of the trek of how he orshe returns to that room down a path as trustworthy as mercury.The writer strews the path with booze or drugs or lies and resent-ments and fear of abandonment and despair and jealousy and selfloathing and hatred that we have lost the way to that path whichis most us. Because the inhabitants of that room demand atten-tion when they are ready or else they will drive us mad. You didn’ttry hard enough to find me. You didn’t structure your life in theright way to hear us when we called. But you have to go on living.This is not Dostoevsky. This is not Byron.I heard about an event in 1983. Read about it in the papers.

    Forgot the event. Or thought so. Six years later in 1989 I wasbreaking my back trying to solve a play and also working on afilm script that I liked but that would also pull double duty ofpaying to support my playwrighting habit. Overwhelmed? Myplate was very filled.And of course what’s when the knocking started. Six Degrees of

    Separation – title and all – announced it was ready andmust becollected and everything else put aside. Now! The workshop hadspent the past six years collecting data, reworking, inventing,finding a style of narrative. Luckily the call didn’t come during anappendectomy or wartime invasion or a loved one’s emergency ora parachute jump. It came when I was in proximity to my pen.Which I picked up. Because you cannot say to that knocking:

    Later. Or not right now. It’s perverse, that unconscious. It onlyshows up at the most inappropriate time,when it’s not beenasked for. I wrote the play. I showed it to the people at LincolnCenter. It went into production.

    continued on page 15

    OUISAI read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only sixother people. Six degrees of separation between us and everyone else onthis planet. The President of the United States, a gondolier in Venice,just fill in the names. I find that extremely comforting, that we're soclose, but I also find it like Chinese water torture that we're so closebecause you have to find the right six people to make the connection.It's not just big names it's anyone. A native in a rain forest, a Tierradel Fuegan,an Eskimo. I am bound you are bound to everyone on this planetby a trail of six people. It's a profound thought: how Paul found us; howto find the man whose son he claims to be, or perhaps is,although I doubtit. How everyone is a new door, opening into other worlds.

    Education Experiences

    The Old Globe’s new Technical Center in Southeastern SanDiego has become the heartbeat of our scenic department as well asthe home for our vast collection of props and costumes. Construc-tion of all of our sets will be done in this 33,000 square foot build-ing onMarket Street. The move to the new space has takenthousands of hours of hard work for our scenic, properties and cos-tume departments but now the building is humming (or some-times roaring) with the sounds of drills and saws, and the swish ofpaint brushes.The new facility represents the beginning of a new journey for

    The Old Globe. The theatre has been a part of the Balboa Parklandscape for over 70 years and is an integral part of this commu-nity. Our full staff has worked on-site throughout the history of theorganization (except for the storage facility which recently closedwhen wemoved our belongings to theMarket Street site) and thevery idea of moving some of our staff elsewhere was intimidating.But the move has taught us something and the organization is em-bracing a new reality as we face a bright future. That new reality isour membership in a new community.Southeastern San Diego is a vibrant community with residents

    who have lived there for their entire lives along with newcomerswho hail from the far corners of the world. There are busy restau-rants, fascinating shops, performance venues, arts organizations,and muchmore in this diverse area. And now, there’s The OldGlobe Technical Center.As newcomers to a community, our goal is to meet our neigh-

    bors, get to know the area and reach out to serve as a resource.We’ve met principals and teachers in the many schools in the area,service providers for residents of all ages, artists, business owners,community organizers and more. These people are telling us aboutthemselves and helping us to understand what makes our newneighborhood tick. And they are telling us what we can do forthem.The local schools are telling us that they need a place for stu-

    dents to go to meet people working in a field these young peopledidn’t even know existed. In response to that need,we’ll be hostingtours and workshops for area high school students, giving them theopportunity to talk to our professionals about their work and learnhow to make a career in this field.

    Local after school programs are telling us that they need profes-sional development for their instructors,many of whom are neigh-borhood residents. These program instructors will benefit fromworkshops with our Teaching Artists who will share theatre activi-ties such as improvisation, ensemble-building games,movementand speech exercises, and Readers Theatre techniques. By trainingthe program instructors, our artists will help to build a sustainablecommunity of local teachers who will be able to improve their pro-grams for years to come.Local community organizers are telling us that we are entering a

    burgeoning arts and culture district and they want to know whatwe’ll be doing to enhance the offerings. We’re responding with newideas for performances at area venues and schools. We’ll seek toprovide plays that meet the same high standards we hold for ourproductions here in Balboa Park and will introduce students andfamilies to our work with presentations at sites close to home. Thefirst of these offerings is our production of the new hip-hop musi-cal, Kingdom, which will be performed at the new Lincoln HighSchool as well as on the Old Globe stage in February, 2009.None of this work would be possible without the incredible

    support of the San Diego Foundation and the Irvine Foundationwhose grants will help us to focus our efforts and bring ideas tofruition.We’re excited about the new ideas and opportunities that are

    coming our way as a result of the move to the Tech Center and welook forward to making new friends and sharing what we do withour new neighbors.

    TRIP: Yes – the parents are terrified of the children, the children hold the power. Part of the reason whythe parents are so attracted to Paul in the first place is because of his in (with their children) to say that“oh I know your kids and we were talking about you” so they’re dying to find out what the kids sayabout them because they have no concrete relationship with their own children so they’re dying to hearabout the relationship from someone else. They don’t have any other way in.

    JACK: And Paul isn’t the only con artist in the play.

    TRIP: I mean what is more of a con than the art market?

    JACK: Look what they’re doing –getting money so they can borrowmoney andmake that into a lotmore money.….

    TRIP: Absolutely. I love that line where Paul asks Trent whether these are all really really rich peopleand Trent says “oh no these people are hand to mouth on a higher plateau”, and that’s exactly what it is– where they’re absolutely scheming con-artists as well.

    JACK: Are Ouisa and Flan the heirs of radical chic? Do you think if Paul were white – would they havefallen so hard?

    TRIP: That’s a great question. I think if he were white and the son of Robert Redford, you know what Imean? I think that part of what it is – is the attraction of fame and notoriety and all that kind of stuff.Paul is such an interesting character because I think he’s someone who desperately wants everyone tolove him but also is incapable…

    JACK: There’s no malice in him

    TRIP: None at all – the opposite. I think he’s an open wound and desperate for affection. Paul givesOuisa and Flan and Geoffrey what they desperately needed and in that way I don’t think it is a con, get-ting something for nothing – I actually think he provides a great service to all three of those characters.
