"Old Globe hosting mayoral talk on housing
Free public forum is tied to West Coast premiere of 'Bethany'
By James Hebert3:30 P.M.JAN. 23, 2014
A housing crisis is the catalyst for the play "Bethany," which begins performances this week at the Old Globe Theatre.
And housing issues are at the heart of a special community forum the Globe will host at 6 p.m. Feb. 3.
Panelists for “At Home in San Diego? The Question of Affordable Housing” will include Todd Gloria, San Diego's interim mayor; Susan Riggs, executive director of the San Diego Housing Federation; and Debbie Ruane, senior vice president of real estate for the San Diego Housing Commission.
The Globe says the discussion will cover housing affordability, homelessness and related topics, with "Bethany" as a jumping-off point.
“Laura Marks’ 'Bethany' uses the theater to examine an important national issue: the crisis in affordable housing," Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein said in a statement.
"We’re thrilled to host a special forum on that topic in conjunction with the show, and we’re honored to welcome Interim Mayor Todd Gloria and other leaders on the housing issue to the Globe to help our audience learn more, and to better serve our community through our art.”
Although the event is free, reservations are required: email RSVP@TheOldGlobe.org."
