New Member Event – “MEA Night at The Old Globe”
We are pleased to announce a new event for MEA members, MEA Night at The Old Globe.
MEA members will be able to register for the opportunity to purchase tickets to one of the MEA Old Globe events.
- Saturday, August 2, 8:00 p.m., – Noises Off in the Main Stage
Noises Off is a brilliant and uproarious backstage comedy that pulls back the curtain on a theatre company struggling to keep its production from falling apart. Forgotten lines, misplaced props, and romantic entanglements lead to total chaos with doors slamming and sardines flying, in a whirlwind of slapstick hilarity. As the actors’ onstage and offstage worlds collide, the result is, as The New York Times calls it, “a raucously delightful comedy” and “altogether hilarious.”
- Saturday, August 23, 8:00 p.m. – A Comedy of Errors in the outdoor Festival Stage
Merriment and mayhem come to life in Shakespeare’s uproarious comedy, last produced at The Old Globe in 2015. Immediately after arriving in a new town, a young man and his sidekick are mistaken for their own long-lost twins, and everyone’s lives are turned upside down as mistaken identities, confused lovers, and all kinds of shenanigans ensue. Globe Resident Artist James Vásquez makes his triumphant return to the Summer Shakespeare Festival after directing 2023’s knockout comic hit The Merry Wives of Windsor.
MEA covers most of the cost of these tickets. MEA members pay only $20 per ticket to attend and may purchase up to two tickets total (one for the member and one guest). These tickets cannot be sold to anyone else.
Lottery Process for Ticket Sales:
Beginning today, MEA members will be able to fill out the webform by logging into the Member Portal of the MEA website, choosing Current Surveys from the menu on the left-hand side, and clicking on the “MEA Night at The Old Globe Ticket Lottery” link.
