Andrew Long, 2010 Lunt-Fontanne Fellow
In this video: 2010 Lunt-Fontanne Fellow, Andrew Long, nominated by Shakespeare Theatre Company. Andrew talks about the inspiration of the Lunts and the importance of this rare retreat. This video also includes a set of clips from Andrew's public working session with Barry Edelstein.
(Ten Chimneys, Genesee Depot, Wisconsin) On July 11, 2010, nine of the most respected and talented actors from across the United States formed the 2010 class of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program and embarked on a week of intensive study at Ten Chimneys, led by master teacher Barry Edelstein.
The Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking national program to serve regional theatre actors and the future of American theatre. The program, created by Ten Chimneys Foundation, is a fitting tribute to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who are widely regarded as the greatest acting couple in the history of the American theatre. Through this program, the top actors in the country are given a rare and deeply-needed opportunity to grow artistically, renew their passion for their art form, and deepen their commitment to mentorship. Ultimately, the program does not exist simply to serve actors; the purpose of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is to strengthen the ability of actors and theatres to enrich people's lives in communities across the country.
2010 Lunt-Fontanne Master Teacher, Barry Edelstein:
Widely respected as one of the leading Shakespeareans in the United States, Barry Edelstein is the Director of The Public Theater's Shakespeare Initiative, overseeing all Shakespearean production at the theater, as well as The Public's extensive educational, community outreach, and artist-training programs.
The 2010 Lunt-Fontanne Fellows:
• Stephen Berenson: Trinity Repertory Company (Providence)
• James Carpenter: California Shakespeare Theater (Bay Area)
• Celeste Ciulla: The Old Globe (San Diego)
• Bob Davis: Guthrie Theater (Minneapolis)
• Laura Gordon: Milwaukee Repertory Theater (Milwaukee)
• Andrew Long: Shakespeare Theatre Company (Washington, D.C.)
• Pete Pryor: The Wilma Theater (Philadelphia)
• Jacqueline Williams: Goodman Theatre (Chicago)
• Larry Yando: Chicago Shakespeare Theater (Chicago)
Mr. Edelstein and the 2010 Fellows dedicated their week of work to Inaugural LFFP Master Teacher, Lynn Redgrave (1943-2010).
2011 Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program:
Actress Olympia Dukakis, who is widely celebrated as one of the greatest American masters of interpreting and teaching the work of playwright Anton Chekov, will be the 2011 Master Teacher for the 2011 Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program. After two years of focusing on Shakespeare, the third weeklong retreat and master class at Ten Chimneys (July 24-31) will focus on Chekov. Ms. Dukakis has been a master teacher of acting and directing, with special emphasis on Chekhov, at Columbia, NYU, Yale, and universities and studios around the United States and Europe.

Barry Edelstein In Conversation with Jack O'Brien
The Old Globe presented a one-night-only event, Barry Edelstein In Conversation with Jack O'Brien, on Monday, Dec. 2 at 7:00 p.m. This special discussion between Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and Old Globe Artistic Director Emeritus Jack O'Brien explored the history of The Old Globe and O'Brien's new memoir about his early years in theater, Jack Be Nimble: The Accidental Education of an Unintentional Director.
Jack O'Brien is an American master and one of San Diego's greatest contributions to American culture, said Edelstein. I am honored to welcome him back to a place that is, after all, his home, and thrilled to be able to bask in his art, wisdom, and abundant wit. His book is delightful and nourishing on many levels, and I'm pleased to commend it to his hometown crowd.
Old Globe Artistic Director Emeritus and three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien served as the Artistic Director of The Old Globe from 1982 through 2007. O'Brien currently serves as director of this season's Broadway production of Macbeth starring Ethan Hawke. His Broadway credits also include The Nance, Dead Accounts, Catch Me If You Can, Impressionism, The Coast of Utopia (Tony Award), Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Tony nomination), Henry IV (Tony Award), Hairspray (Tony Award), Imaginary Friends, The Invention of Love (Tony nomination, Drama Desk Award), The Full Monty (Tony nomination), More to Love, Getting Away with Murder, Pride's Crossing, The Little Foxes, Hapgood (Lucille Lortel Award, Best Director), Damn Yankees, Two Shakespearean Actors (Tony nomination), and Porgy and Bess (Tony Award). He also directed the Metropolitan Opera production of II Trittico. His London credits include Love Never Dies and Hairspray (Olivier nomination), as well as the National Theatre production of His Girl Friday. He also directed six movies for PBS's American Playhouse. His awards include 2008 Theatre Hall of Fame Inductee, 2005 John Houseman Award, ArtServe Michigan 2008 International Achievement Award, Honorary Doctorate at University of Michigan, and Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters at University of San Diego. Jack Be Nimble: The Accidental Education of an Unintentional Director, his memoir about the early years of his career, was released this summer by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein is a stage director, producer, author, and educator. Widely recognized as one of the leading authorities on the works of Shakespeare in the United States, he has directed nearly half of the Bard's works. As Director of the Shakespeare Initiative at The Public Theater (2008-2012), he oversaw all of the company's Shakespearean productions, as well as its extensive educational, community outreach, and artist-training programs. At The Public, Edelstein staged Julius Caesar starring Jeffrey Wright for Shakespeare in the Park and The Merchant of Venice featuring Ron Leibman's Obie Award-winning portrayal of Shylock. He was also Associate Producer of The Public's Broadway production of The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino. From 1998-2003 he was Artistic Director of Classic Stage Company, where he produced and directed some of New York's most memorable classical productions. Edelstein's Shakespearean directorial credits include The Winter's Tale with David Strathairn, Timon of Athens with Richard Thomas, As You Like It with Gwyneth Paltrow, and Richard III with John Turturro. His additional credits include the Lucille Lortel Award-winning revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons; the world premiere of Steve Martin's The Underpants, which he commissioned; Molière's The Misanthrope starring Uma Thurman in her stage debut; and the world premiere of novelist Nathan Englander's play The Twenty-Seventh Man. Edelstein has taught Shakespearean acting at The Juilliard School, NYU's Graduate Acting Program, and the University of Southern California. His book Thinking Shakespeare (called by New York magazine a must-read for actors) was published in 2007 and is now the standard text on American Shakespearean acting. He is also the author of Bardisms: Shakespeare for All Occasions.
Balboa Park Travel Guide | San Diego Attractions | California Travel Tips
California travel journalist Veronica Hill shares her Balboa Park travel guide in this episode of California Travel Tips. Called the Smithsonian of the West, Balboa Park is one of the top San Diego attractions and our nation's largest urban cultural park. It sits on 1,200 acres of lush gardens, world-class museums and performing arts venues.
You can spend an entire day just at the San Diego Zoo, a lush landscape of botanical gardens that's home to more than 4,000 animals and 800 species. In October, kids under 12 are free!
If you're here for the Balboa Park museums, park at Inspiration Point off Park Boulevard and take the free trolley to the Visitor Center. From here, you can walk to most of the San Diego attractions.
Start with a morning stroll in the peaceful Japanese Friendship Garden, which is home to colorful koi and Zen gardens, then check out the park's impressive Spanish-Renaissance revival buildings, which date back to the 1915 Panama-California Exposition.
The Museum of Man is housed in one of Balboa Park's most striking buildings, just beneath the 200-foot-tall California Tower. Here you can explore the world of anthropology, ranging from impressive Mayan monuments and figurines, to one of the country's best collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts and mummies.
Kids will enjoy the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center — which boasts more than 100 hands-on activities — and the charming San Diego Model Railroad Museum, which is the largest of its kind in the United States.
Learn about prehistoric bones and fossils in The San Diego Natural History Museum, or check out major exhibitions in the San Diego Museum of Art.
When it comes time to eat, there are 11 eateries throughout the park. Enjoy signature cocktails and gourmet fare at the full-service Balboa Park Prado Restaurant, or nibble on sushi and soba noodles in the Tea Pavilion.
During the summer, you can enjoy free organ concerts at Spreckels Organ Pavilion — a tradition since 1915. The park's historic Old Globe Theatre, founded in 1935, serves up everything from Broadway productions to a summer Shakespeare Festival.
For the best bang for your buck, buy the Stay for the Day pass, which allows access to five attractions (excluding the zoo). The 7-day Passport is a Balboa Park Museum Pass that offers admission to 14 museums. San Diego residents can enjoy Balboa Park Free Tuesdays, which allows free admission to select museums on Tuesdays.

Lea Salonga - Higher (Allegiance)
Inspired by the true-life experience of its star, George Takei, in an untold American story following one family's journey. Also starring Lea Salonga.
Allegiance is a musical with music and lyrics by Jay Kuo and a book by Marc Acito, Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. The story, set during the Japanese American internment of World War II (with a framing story set in the present day), was inspired by the personal experiences of George Takei, who stars. It follows the Kimura family in the weeks and years following the attack on Pearl Harbor, as they are relocated from their farm in Salinas, California to the Heart Mountain internment camp in the rural plains of Wyoming.
The musical premiered September 2012 at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. It is set to open on Broadway on November 8, 2015, with previews scheduled to begin on October 6. It will be the first time in ten years an Asian-led cast has been on Broadway since the 2002 revival of Flower Drum Song, which also starred Lea Salonga as Mei Li.

Artistic Director Barry Edelstein in Conversation with James Shapiro
On Wednesday, Aug. 28, The Old Globe presented Artistic Director and noted Shakespearean Barry Edelstein In Conversation with James Shapiro, the internationally renowned Shakespeare scholar. This special discussion between the two Shakespeare experts explored themes in the Bard's canon, current trends in American Shakespeare and the controversies surrounding the play The Merchant of Venice, which ran as part of the Globe's 2013 Shakespeare Festival.
Professor James Shapiro is one of the world's most important Shakespeareans, and it is a high honor to welcome him to The Old Globe and San Diego, said Edelstein prior to the event. The excellence of his scholarly work speaks for itself, but there are two things that I think make Prof. Shapiro unique: he is a deep lover and meaningful supporter of the theater, and he has a rare ability to make complex ideas in Shakespeare accessible and immediate. I cannot wait for the real privilege of being in conversation with him.
James Shapiro is the Larry Miller Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, where he has taught since 1985. His books include Rival Playwrights (1991), Shakespeare and the Jews (1996), Oberammergau (2000), 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare (2005) and Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare? (2010). In 2012 he coauthored and presented a three-part BBC documentary, Shakespeare: The King's Man. He is currently at work on a Library of America collection, Shakespeare in America, and a book, Shakespeare in 1606: The Year of Lear. He has been awarded fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the New York Public Library Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. He serves on the Board of Governors of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Folger Shakespeare Library, as well as serving as Shakespeare Scholar in Residence at The Public Theater and Vice President of The Authors Guild. He was recently inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein is a stage director, producer, author and educator. Widely recognized as one of the leading authorities on the works of Shakespeare in the United States, he has directed nearly half of the Bard's works.

All The Lights On: Reimagining Theater to Include Everyone | Michelle Hensley | TEDxMinneapolis
Michelle Hensley describes the motivation behind starting her theater company Ten Thousand Things, which takes award-winning professional theater -_ Shakespeare, Greek Tragedy, Brecht-- to audiences who live on the margins in shelters and prisons and immigrant centers, as well as to a savvy theater-going public. She highlights the discoveries the company has made about theater by doing it this way, and makes a strong case for the radical and positive change that can happen to any human endeavor when inclusion becomes a priority.
Michelle Hensley is the artistic director of Ten Thousand Things, where she has directed and produced over 60 tours of award-winning drama to nontraditional audiences in prisons, shelters and housing projects, as well as the general public, with most productions making local critics' Top Ten Lists. A McKnight Theater Fellow, in 2012 Michelle was named the Star Tribune's Best Artistic Director. She received the Francesca Primus Prize from the American Theater Critics Association for outstanding contribution to the American theater by a female artist. She is a founding member of the Minnesota Theater Alliance, serves on the boards of the Theater Communications Group and Howlround, and in March published her book All The Lights On: Reimagining Theater with Ten Thousand Things. TTT's touring model has been adopted by The Public Theater in New York City, the Bay Area's California Shakespeare Theater, and The Old Globe Theater of San Diego.

The Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking national program to serve regional theatre actors and the future of American theatre. The program, created by Ten Chimneys Foundation, is a fitting tribute to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, who are widely regarded as the greatest acting couple in the history of the American theatre. Through this program, the top actors in the country are given a rare and deeply-needed opportunity to grow artistically, renew their passion for their art form, and deepen their commitment to mentorship. Ultimately, the program does not exist simply to serve actors; the purpose of the Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program is to strengthen the ability of actors and theatres to enrich people's lives in communities across the country.

Balboa Park.wmv
Each year, Balboa Park attracts more than 500,000 visitors from all over the world. The famous Spanish-Renaissance style buildings, the California Tower, and dome were constructed for the Panama-California Exposition in 1915. It was one of the first times this highly ornamented, flamboyant architectural style had ever been used in the United States. During World War II, most of these buildings taken over by the U.S. Navy and used as part of the Balboa Naval Hospital.
