From: Photo Flash: The Old Globe Community Voices Launched with Aid of James Irvine Foundation

The Old Globe today announced the launch of The Old Globe Community Voices, a series of workshops dedicated to the creation and presentation of short plays by adult residents of San Diego County. Community Voices is the centerpiece of The Old Globe Residency Project, an artistic initiative offering three avenues of engagement for underserved communities. Funded by a two-year, $500,000 grant from The James Irvine Foundation, the Residency Project builds upon the Globe's earlier Southeastern San Diego Residency Project by expanding the definition of "community" to include groups defined by shared experience, geography, demographics, identity, profession or other characteristics. In addition to Community Voices, The Residency Project also provides free admission to Globe productions for underserved communities and paid internships for young adults. Check out the photos below!
