What a thrill it is to welcome you to thisfirst round of shows in our 2004/2005 sea-son. We’ve all been eagerly anticipating theworld-premiere, Broadway-bound musical,Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, by the talented team ofDavid Yazbek, composer/lyricist of The FullMonty, and acclaimed writer Jeffrey Lane,with direction by our own multiple Tony
Award®-winning Jack O’Brien and choreography by JerryMitchell. Next door on the Cassius Carter Centre Stage, RichardSeer, winner of the 2003 San Diego Critics Circle “Craig Noel”Award, directs Steven Dietz’s fascinating new work, Fiction. We aretruly blessed with a host of talented individuals here this fall, allof whom have collaborated to make great theatre for you.
There’s still much more excitement to come this season,from our annual holiday production of Dr. Seuss’ How the GrinchStole Christmas!, to the Tony Award-winning Take Me Out, helmedby celebrated director Joe Mantello, to another fascinating world-premiere musical, Himself and Nora, based on the life James Joyce.We hope you will join us for more of this exceptional season.
Now, more than ever, we depend on your support — as apatron as well as a donor. This year’s productions representmajor undertakings for the Globe, both artistically and finan-cially, and we rely on your contributions to help us bring thesenoteworthy artists and theatrical offerings to the Globe year afteryear. It is extremely rare for any regional theatre to present thebreadth and depth of work that we do at the Globe, consistentlysending new shows to Broadway and presenting the unparalleledproductions and artists you’ve come to expect on our stages. You recognize the essential place this institution holds in theheart of San Diego’s cultural community — and indeed amongthe nation’s leading arts organizations — and we are deeply grate-ful for your ongoing support to help us continue our commit-ment to artistic excellence.
We’re happy to have you here —welcome!
Stephen Dietz, a master craftsmanof that remarkable social minuet soprevalent among our beleagueredspecies, and who so intrigued us withhis lovely Private Eyes in the Carter afew years back, has cobbled together a
remarkable play called Fiction, which is witty, brainy,provocative and heart-breaking at the same time. Fewwriters of contemporary values so mirror the society inwhich we, in particular, find ourselves as Dietz, and underRichard Seer’s probing direction, it is a pleasure to have hisvoice once more in our midst.
And speaking of “welcoming back,” the last time com-poser/lyricist David Yazbek entertained us, it was with alittle blue-collar confection called The Full Monty, and we allknow what happened to that particular exercise! Well, he’sback, now with his collaborator, librettist Jeffrey Lane, andthis time they have forsaken frigid Buffalo for the elegantRiviera, where beautiful women can become the all-too-willing and delighted prey of hilarious Scoundrels in thenew musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. And back withMessrs. Yazbek and Lane, among many, are my favoritechoreographer Jerry Mitchell, musical director TedSperling, the great David Rockwell, scenic designer ofHairspray, and costumer Gregg Barnes, whose creations forLucky Duck caused a minor sensation this past summer.And I’m not even yet cataloguing a cast with the likes ofJohn Lithgow, Norbert Leo Butz, Sherie Renee Scott,Joanna Gleason, and Gregory Jbara... So naturally, I want-ed to direct it! Wouldn’t you?
It’s a thrill to have a new American play in the Carter.And a thrill to have a new American musical in the Globe.What an autumn! We hope you are as excited as we are!

Summer in Beaumont sur Mer, a fashionable resorton the French Riviera. Another season is just beginningfor Lawrence Jameson, a British con artist posing as thedeposed prince of a fictional country. Targeting wealthyfemale tourists who are all too happy to finance his mis-sion to regain his throne, Lawrence's perfect set-up isthreatened when a clever young American grifter known as“The Jackal" is rumored to be encroaching on his territory.
Returning from a banking trip to Switzerland,Lawrence watches as Freddy Benson tries to scam awoman on the train with pathetic tales of his grandmotherneeding an operation. Feeling this new pretender to thethrone is no match for him, Lawrence quickly gets rid ofthe competition. Freddy, however, is on to Lawrence aswell, follows him to his chateau and threatens to exposehis charade unless Lawrence teaches him everything heknows. The master and student soon prove to be an effective team when Freddy poses as the Prince's youngerbrother Ruprecht.
Unfortunately the two soon realize that there's notroom enough for both of them to work this town and setup a bet — whoever can swindle $50,000 from a proposed female target will stay on as the reigning princeof Beaumont sur Mer, while the other must move on.When Christine Colgate, a young heiress known as theAmerican Soap Queen, arrives for her first taste of theRiviera, the two have found their mark. What follows are aseries of schemes, masquerades and double-crosses inwhich nothing may ever be exactly what it seems.
Beaumont sur Mer, lugar de temporada en boga en laRiviera Francesca y en pleno verano. Otra estación haempezado para Lawrence Jameson, un impostor que se hacepasar por príncipe de un país irreal, con el objectivo de esta-far a turistas ricas quienes se encuentran dispuestas a finan-ciar la misión de él para poder reconquistar su trono. El planperfecto de Lawrence se ve amenazado por un trampeadorAmericano conocido como “El Chacal,” del cual se rumoraestar usurpando su territorio.
Regresando de un viaje bancario a Suiza, Lawrenceobserva como Freddy Benson trata de timar a una mujer enel tren contándole un patético cuento en el que su pobreabuela necesita una cirugía. Sintiendo que este nuevo pretendiente al trono no tiene punto de comparación con él,Lawrence se deshace de la competencia de immediato. Mássin embargo, Freddy, al igual que Lawrence, lo sigue hasta sucastillo y lo amenaza con divulgar su treta a menos de queLawrence le enseñe todo lo que sabe. El maestro y el discípu-lo se convierten en un gran equipo cuando Freddy posacomo el hermano menor del príncipe Ruprecht.
Desafortunadamente se dan cuenta que no existe sufi-ciente espacio para los dos en el mismo pueblo, así quehacen una apuesta y el que pueda estafarle $50,000 a unadama podrá permanecer como el príncipe de Beaumont surMer, mintras que el otro deberá de irse de ese lugar. Los dosencuentran el punto al blanco cuando llega por primavera veza la Riviera la joven heredera Christine Colgate, conocidatambién como la Reina del Jabón Americana. A continuaciónaparencen varias intrigas, fingimientos y traiciones, en lascuales las apariencias engañan.

E x e c u t i v e P r o d u c e r s - L e a d e r s h i p G i f t s
Four years ago, many of usmet in this room and began aproject called The Full Monty,
and we had a wonderful time,primarily because of the amazing
working stability that has evolved inthis theatre over the last 25 years. Here we
are four years later, surrounded by an extraordi-narily gifted and loving staff. We're going to dive in,
and we have a lot of things to talk about today, not theleast of which is what this show is and what it's
about to be.
This is a musical about conning. There's something affectionate to me about the idea of a con. It has to do with wit and
elegance and ping-pong balls up in the air making you laugh. When peopleget taken in situations like this we usually think of it as mea culpa. “I should haveseen it coming. But I didn't.” The affectionate part of it is that it's a little bit of alaugh on us. If I can slip one over on you and no one's any the wiser and I get alittle richer, it's not a big deal. It's not like murder. It's not like mayhem. It's not
like evil…I'm not approving of cons. I just happen to be one.
So when we started to find a vocabulary in the scenic and costume designsfor this show, it had to be something beautiful. This is the Riviera. These
people are rich. Very rich. And part of the fun of going to a casino or anything like it, where chance is rampant, is the possibility that you are
existing in a world that could tip your way. And if you've ever been inthose places, even though people look beautiful, it doesn't seem to be
about sex or hunting. It's about Lady Luck. So if you're gambling,you're an accomplice. You know. They tell you. They tell you coming in.
They tell you going out what the odds are. But it is fascinating.Visually, orally, character-wise, people pretending to be
other people … So we came up with the beginningof what this world is, which is azure blue and
really enticing. It's all beautiful.It's all magic. It's all a con.
— Jack O’Brien
(Excerpted from Jack O'Brien's remarks to the company at the first rehearsal.)
