- On a recent trip to Stratford to see Kiss Me, Kate!, Lois Fraser and Maureen Walker were delighted to bump into David Ambrose at the theatre. As any long-time member of Globe will tell you, David was not only a valued performer and director, but also served as our President at the time that made the move to St. Paul's as our rehearsal space. He is now a teacher at the Etobicoke School for the Arts and lives in downtown Toronto. Lo and Mo were happy to give him all the latest news about Globe.


- A contribution from Maureen Walker: "A few weeks ago, some of the members of the Building Committee were meeting in the Armoury with our architect and building contractor, when a couple of tourists from England wandered in through the open door. One of them was a structural engineer, specialising in the restoration of old buildings. He and Marina, our architect, enthused about our good fortune in acquiring this magnificent building and, on hearing that we have to pay $2 per year to the Town for ground rent, pulled out a $20 bill and paid our first 10 years rent for us! Wasn't that nice of them?"

"Little Red" At Last

It's taken 17 years but she's finally done it.  Jennifer Marshall is happily preparing for the role of "Little Red" (otherwise known as, Little Red Riding Hood) in Globe's upcoming production of Into the Woods. 

It is a role that she has wanted to do since 1993 - the last time Globe mounted the Tony-award winning musical.  Marshall wasn't considered for the role the last go-around. She was, after all, only 11 at the time. 

Growing up in Georgetown, Marshall always wanted to be onstage.  Her older brother, Craig, and her older sister, Shannon, were actively involved in musical theatre both at school and with Globe. Jennifer didn't want to be left behind. In fact, the love of musical theatre was a family affair in the Marshall household.  Jennifer remembers her parents listening to the soundtracks of their favourite musicals on the stereo at home and taking her to shows in Toronto. 

"I still remember being amazed when the overture started at Les Miserables in Toronto.  I think I was 10 years old at the time.  I couldn't believe how much it sounded like the record!"  reminisces Marshall.

Educated at Harrison, Centennial and GDHS, Marshall  got her start with Globe shows in 1994, at the age of 12, as a towns person in The Music Man.

"I loved every minute of it.  It was so exciting to finally be onstage!" says Marshall.

Since then, Marshall has been involved in countless Globe shows including:  42nd Street (she loves to tap-dance), Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Crazy for You (in which her brother made his directorial debut), Guys and Dolls, Cabaret, and many, many more.

Marshall has taken an interest in all aspects of musical theatre both onstage and behind the scenes.  She currently serves on the Globe Board as its Vice-President and over the years has co-directed, produced, written cabarets, choreographed, managed props and more.

Into the Woods runs from November 19 – 27, 2010 at the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown. For tickets, go to www.haltonhills.ca/theatre or call the John Elliott Theatre box office at (905) 877-3700.

An Armoury Update - November 1, 2010

An Armoury Update from Lois Fraser and Mark Llewellyn:

Winter is coming and we have installed steel slats on the steel roof to stop snow and ice accumulation from ripping off the eaves troughs or landing on the head of some unlucky person hanging out near the building. It cost $3300.00, but it had to be done. We are officially out of money now and waiting for a confirmation from Trillium to see if we got some (or all if we get lucky all) of the $150K that we applied for. If we get the grant, then we will need to launch a $150K + fund raising program in the New Year to take advantage of our momentum and interest in the project. Please think about how you can help!

We are getting down to the time when we examine every aspect of the plan and see if anything needs to be changed in view of where we are at the moment. For instance, we are looking to see if there is any way to get more seating capacity in the main open area, without seriously harming our ability to construct sets. Your committee is meeting on Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day,…how appropriate!) to discuss the next steps.
