Audrey S. Geisel
Audrey S. Geisel, a longtime La Jolla
resident, serves as President and CEO
of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and President of
the Dr. Seuss Foundation, which supports
a variety of arts, education and literacy
organizations in San Diego. Though Audrey
shows tremendous generosity to many
worthwhile organizations, her love of learning
and literacy has been a driving force in her
charitable giving, benefiting The Center for
Audrey S. Geisel and Executive Producer
Louis G. Spisto at the 2010 Globe Gala.
Family Literacy, San Diego Zoological Society,
Vista Hill, La Jolla Playhouse, UC San Diego
and, of course, The Old Globe. The Globe
wishes to acknowledge and thank Audrey, who was honored at the 2011 Globe
Gala, for supporting this beloved holiday production for 14 glorious years and
for her deep and abiding commitment to The Old Globe.
SDG&E Sempra Energy Utility
For more than 20 years SDG&E and the Sempra family of companies have
committed to supporting The Old Globe and the many arts and cultural
programs that enhance the lives of San Diego residents. SDG&E believes in
the Globe’s artistic work and the award-winning education programs for which
it is nationally known. SDG&E has helped launch two Globe Broadway-bound
musicals: The Full Monty and Damn Yankees. The Old Globe salutes SDG&E
and shares the belief that outstanding cultural programs contribute to the
development of strong youth leaders in San Diego.
Bank of America
The Old Globe again salutes Bank of America as a vital partner in providing
world-class theatre and outstanding arts education programs. Through Bank of
America’s support, thousands of students from San Diego County will attend
free matinee performances of Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
Bank of America has previously sponsored Globe productions of Since Africa,
Kingdom, Beethoven, As I Knew Him, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,
What the World Needs Now, The Real Thing and Time and Again.
