Now in its ninth year of making theatre matter to more people, The Old Globe returns to the Central Library with their annual Globe for All tour!

With the touring production of The Comedy of Errors, directed by Em Weinstein (In France Michelle Is a Man’s Name, “The L Word: Generation Q”), this talented company of artists will bring a stirring, free-admission production to various economically, geographically, and culturally diverse communities throughout San Diego County, including Old Globe Community Partner venues from San Ysidro to Oceanside and south of the border in Tijuana, Mexico. 

Shakespeare meets “The Jersey Shore” in the hilarious Globe for All Tour of The Comedy of Errors! A young man and his servant arrive in town, unaware that each of them has an identical twin already there. Things can’t possibly end well—or maybe they can, but not before the mistaken identities lead to confused lovers, shocked family members, and all-out comic chaos. Get your hair gel and spray tan ready for one of the Bard’s most outrageous comedies, filled with music and brought to life by award-winning director Em Weinstein as it visits communities across San Diego County.

“The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare’s funniest plays, and we’re delighted to present this delicious show to the San Diego region as part of our 2023 Globe for All Tour,” said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “It’s a story about mistaken identity, friendship, home, and family, and I know that the brilliant Em Weinstein’s inventive and energetic direction will touch audiences deeply, even as Shakespeare fills them with laughter and joy. Globe for All is inspired by two simple but deep beliefs: that theatre is an art form for everyone, and that as the flagship arts institution of San Diego, The Old Globe should be accessible to the entire community. We remain committed to making theatre matter to more people as we make theatre that lives beyond the stage. I couldn’t be more proud to share this work, nor happier to invite our neighbors to be part of it.”

Full casting and creative team for the Globe for All Tour of The Comedy of Errors will be announced at a later date. Bios and photos of all participants can be found at www.TheOldGlobe.org/Press-Room.
