Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is a wonderful, whimsical musical based upon the classic Dr. Seuss book. Back for its 25th incredible year, the family favorite features the songs “Santa for a Day,” “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” and “Welcome, Christmas (Fah Who Doraze),” the delightful carol from the popular animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Celebrate the holidays as the Old Globe Theatre is once again transformed into the snow-covered Whoville, right down to the last can of Who-hash.
SEEKING:
All roles will be understudied.
The Grinch (30s-50s) A beastly, charming curmudgeon. Scary but with a heart underneath his gruff exterior. Has the size and presence of a Music Hall superstar with deft athleticism. A triple threat. Has a strong, booming baritone singing voice with falsetto. [OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE]
Young Max (20s) The Grinch's dog, a young pup at heart. Endlessly energetic and acrobatic. Extremely loyal, shows great patience and humor in the face of adversity. Has a strong Tenor singing voice. [OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE]
Old Max (50s-60s) A trustworthy, benevolent narrator who is inspired by nostalgia. With his urbane elegance, long-limbed grace and gently sardonic humor, he actually reminds us of Dr. Seuss. Has a strong bass-baritone singing voice. [ROLE HAS BEEN CAST]
Papa Who (30s – early 40s) The father of the family, the calm eye of the family storm. Goodness and benevolence pour out of him. A moral example for the rest of Whoville. Has a strong high baritone or baritenor singing voice.
Mama Who (30s – early 40s) Quirky, funny, on the brink of saturation but still maintaining complete control. Until… Has a strong, warm soprano singing voice with chest range as well. [OFFER OUT ON THIS ROLE]
Grandpa Who (40s – 50s) The eldest of the family, comically hard of hearing. Not unlike Grandpa Simpson. Has a strong character baritone singing voice.
Grandma Who (40s – 50s) Loving, has the ear of the children and the patience to calm them. Has a strong character mezzo singing voice. [ROLE HAS BEEN CAST]
Adult Ensemble (20s – 40s). Different types and vivid personalities. The more physically versatile the better. All have strong singing voices of all types. [OFFERS OUT ON SOME ROLES]

Globe for All Tour: Bringing Shakespeare to the San Diego Community
Henry V
By William Shakespeare
Directed by TBD
Dates:

Opening Night: November 3, 2022
Closes: November 20, 2022
“Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more!” The year is 1415, and the young and reckless Prince Hal has left his wild partying days behind and matured into sober and thoughtful kingship. He defies the insults of the French royals and rallies a ragtag group of English soldiers to sail across the English Channel on a long-shot invasion of the mighty kingdom of France. Full of action and the electrifying language that marks Shakespeare at his height, Henry V is an unflinching look at warfare and power, and a rousing portrait of courage against all odds.
Globe for All is the centerpiece of The Old Globe’s commitment to creating public value by making theatre matter to more people. The eighth annual Globe for All Tour will bring free professional Shakespeare to community-based venues throughout San Diego County. The tour, along with workshops and talkbacks, reaches thousands of people across San Diego County twice a year. Over the past five years, the Globe for All Tour has performed in military bases, homeless shelters, centers for the elderly, correctional facilities, recreation centers, libraries, and other venues for nearly 10,000 audience members, many seeing theatre for the first time.
