Organic Dim Sum
Hey, I posted something on Friday but I don't know if it worked out.
Anyways, I work for a reality TV show and we are trying to "go green" and be healthy. We are in need of organic dim sum for one of our shows. Can anyone help me out? Is there any place in this city that serves Organic dim sum? (I know its an odd request).
Thanks for the help!
You must be kidding. Finding an Chinese restaurant serving organic foods would be tough. Finding organic dim sum would be even more more difficult. I don't think such a place exists. Certainly none of the best dim sum places are organic.
re: rinkatink888
Hey rinkatink,
I think Morgan is adhering to the commonly-used term in the U.S. for "Organic" (seen in produce, meats, etc.), which is "No Pesticides / Hormones, etc." To quote healthychildrenproject.org:
"Organic Foods - The production of organic foods does not use pesticides or synthetic (or sewage-based) fertilizers for plant materials and hormones and antibiotics for animals, does not allow genetic engineering or the use of radiation, and emphasizes the utilization of renewable resources as well as conservation of land and water."
And Morganmic, to everyone's replies so far, agreed: I don't think you'll find authentic Chinese Dim Sum in So Cal that's 100% Organic. Trying to convince the cooks and management at any major Chinese restaurant in the SGV to use organic meats, vegetables, sauces, oils, etc., is probably not going to happen anytime soon (sadly).
Very little organic Chinese food in Los Angeles. A couple of years ago an organic Chinese restaurant opened up on Valley Blvd. in San Gabriel. I went in and they said they were going to open in a couple of days and to come back then. I came back about a month later and they were already out of business. There is sort of an organic Chinese restaurant in San Dimas, Veggie & Tea House. I say sort of because some of their dishes are Chinese and some of them are organic, and they sometimes advertise in the Chinese language press. No organic dim sum, though.
You jest, right?
What's the title of your reality TV show? "The Unicorn Tales: Eating Mythical Things"?
I had some organic potstickers at Real Food Daily one time. That's the closest I ever came to having organic dimsum.
You might try emailing the owners of Take A Bao which is opening next month in Century City. Other than that I think you are SOL.
Take Care
As other posters have pointed out, you're unlikely to find authentic organic dim sum from a traditional Chinese restaurant.
I suggest that you try phoning around to various small, organic cafes and see if they serve potstickers (or something similar) as an appetizer. It won't be authentic, and you won't get any variety, but I suspect it's the best you're going to get.
re: debra
The Green Zone is very nice, but they don't have dim sum. They have a few appetizers which are dim sum-esque, like a tasty shrimp roll.

- jbethDined on 11/22/2014Food and service were outstanding. However, the tables are so close together you bump into your "neighbor" constantly and the noise level is so high due to being so stuffed in. If going for the food ...can't beat it. Not for a calm or quiet meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The burger is excellent but...ChloeDined on 11/18/2014...the "as is" mandate is annoyingly rigid. For instance, one guest who doesn't eat bacon asked that the swine be removed from his order, but the server insisted that the burger must be served "as is". No exceptions. Had the guest asked for a discount, I could understand, but all he asked for was that bacon not be included in his order. Sure enough, the burger arrived with the bacon on the burger. Look, I love bacon, but I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that some guests might not. If those guests are paying full price regardless, I think it's a little ridiculous not to accommodate their request to simply remove it from the order. Otherwise, the Tuesday beer/ wine and burger deal -- with bacon, of course -- is worth it. Service is efficient, and I also enjoyed the ambiance. Noise is a factor, though. Overall, great spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great time and food, but..KindoneVIPDined on 11/15/2014I brought my girlfriend, brother and his wife out on a Saturday night to let them experience Brookhaven. Haven is a great place that I've been about 6 times. The food was amazing as usual and the atmosphere is great. Then only problem this visit was our waiter. He was slow, unattentuce, hard to understand, and generally didn't seem to care. When you spend $250 for dinner for 4, you expect the waiter to at least pretend to be friendly. I'll be back bc Haven is great. If I see this lame waiter again, I'll ask for one of their pro's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood gemLoreoDined on 11/14/2014haven is consistently good. Food is creative and always delicious. Service is excellent and there is an ample wine selection. Always a safe bet if you have a group. Something for everyone. I love that this little gem is so close to home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- loveATLdiningVIPDined on 11/12/2014we love haven and valenza - always a treat. kinda wish they would change the menus or add some specials from time to time more than just one here and there. those items have been on the menu ONE LONG TIME! guess many feel this way since so many folks keep coming back like us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DELICIOUS!enjoymydiningoutVIPDined on 11/9/2014Was in Atlanta on business and spent the weekend. After looking over the Open Table reviews did make a reservation here. The foot was mostly fabulous. The only disappointment was the oyster small plate/appetizer. Otherwise everything else was delicious! Would love to go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious BrunchBonBonDined on 11/9/2014We recently had a lovely brunch at Haven. I had made reservations for a group of six to arrive at 10:45am. Two of us were a little early and we were seated at our table immediately. The waiter brought water and juice while we waited for the rest of the party and was attentive, but not hovering, throughout the meal. The food was very good. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was very tender and was cooked exactly as ordered. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals, ranging from French toast to corned beef hash to biscuits and gravy.Special Features:
- KG143Dined on 11/1/2014Scallop dish was fabulous!!! Love the wine list... always a great time and always great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Phenomenal food and atmosphereTufshuzDined on 11/1/2014The seasonal emphasis in the menu is impressive and delicious. Our oyster starter was amazing and my porkchop (with Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and other fall flavors) was juicy and oh so delicious. The natural woods and candlelight make Haven an ideal location for a place to celebrate a special occasion...along with the hip location makes a walk for after dinner drinks fun and easy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful service.CurlsDined on 10/26/2014Went for brunch on a Sunday. The weather was perfect for patio dining. Service was wonderful. Had to wait a bit longer than expected but I blame the group of 20 that was ahead of us. Still, the food was really good. The French toast was highly enjoyed as was the frittata. Would definitely come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First experience at HavennativeatlantagirlDined on 10/21/2014I had heard wonderful things about the food at Haven. I went there with 3 friends for a birthday celebration and while the restaurant atmosphere is really nice and the service very good, I was not too thrilled with my entree. It was all vegetable and I thought that this restaurant would excell in that department. The flavors really didn't blend together very well. One friend ordered a different veggie dish and wasn't impressed either. However, my other two friends were very pleased with their selections, one had steak and the other had lamb. So maybe its best to stick to meats and forgo the veggies. The dessrt (ice cream with donuts) was outstanding though as well as the potato sticks appetizer!Special Features:
- TheGeneralVIPDined on 10/16/2014Each Thursday night, our neighborhood crew walks up and sits on the patio - What a treat for our neighborhood for GREAT food and GREAT MUSIC by Tom Grose........one of the best guys in music in the country (a TRUE Atlanta institution) The food is fine, the weather is always great in the sunny south and the music can't be beat! A REAL Treat to eat and drink with friends and family. We brought some friends from out of town again and spoke with Michael at our table, the WISH they had a place like this up in NY/CT but they just don't have hospitality like we do down south! ................. Sent from my Huckleberry (it's a Southern thing)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate the seasonal items that change on the menu. Can't wait for our next visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A winnerkibtsDined on 10/11/2014Lovely experience. We drove to Haven from Roswell so had expectations for a memorable experience. Haven did not disappoint. This was a birthday celebration and there were 4 of us. The menu had a good mix of "safe" dishes for the less adventurous and some chef-inspired items for those more willing to try something unique. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced considering the high quality ingredients and skilled preparation. The server, although friendly, knowledgeable and competent, seemed to be off in a hurry most of the time. Our friend ordered a Manhattan and raved about the house-aged rye. We plan to return to Haven.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date nightBenitoDined on 10/8/2014I had a lovely time here on a date. The restaurant is romantic and quiet. We had a great server who was friendly and helpful. The food was very good! A bit pricey but well worth it. I would recommend Haven to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Never DisappointsAddicted2HavenDined on 9/26/2014Haven is one of my go-to places around Atlanta. The staff is always very attentive and the food is always on point. The menu has changed slightly since the last time I visited and they've expanded their steak choices. It can be a little loud at times but it was a Friday night so it's to be expected. We had reservations for 8 p.m., arrived at 7:50 p.m. and we were seated immediately on a busy night. I cannot get enough of this restaurant. It always lives up to expectations and I go back as often as possible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We picked Thursday night with a table on their totally elegant patio, and had a pleasant surprise as a great three piece band was playing. We had dinner and brunch before at The Haven and continue to completely enjoy the experience. All aspects are excellent. The grilled pork chop was the best chop I have every had, and others in the party order the salmon which was excellent as well. Great eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Havens, a Brookhaven' gemSuSuDined on 9/7/2014My husband and I had dined at Havens before and though the food was good found it very noisy so when our adult daughter selected Haven as the restaurant in which to celebrate her birthday, we didn't have high expectations we were wrong! They seated us in a very large comfortable booth for our party of 5 and it was very easy to hear our table conversations. The food was delicious and the server brought out a wonderful dessert and ice cream for the birthday girl. She seemed relieved to have the cute candle on the plate instead of a server singing. DEFINITELY was a good choice and we will go back to HavensSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Very happy with choice, hay stack as appetizer was a big hit, great seasonal tomatoes as salad was outstanding, dinner entrees were bone in rib-eye, filet ( a little pricey), but very good, outstanding trout and pork chop - both well presenting and equally tasty. For dessert table shared blueberry and peach dishes both finished the meal with success.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The staff did a great job (sans closing the umbrellas to keep them from flying around and tipping over) in getting everyone a table.... We ended up with many of our friends from the hood at Valenza (just a few steps down) as we "walked between the raindrops back to their door" (Donald Fagan reference)... What a treat for our neighborhood for GREAT food and Michael's "ear" to keep one of the best guys in music in the country (a TRUE Atlanta institution is Tom Grose) *Tom, we just hope your equipment made it through all that rain!!!)

- Great for Sunday DinnerNewATLFoodieDined on 8/3/2014We had the salmon and lamb. They were both amazing. The portion sizes were perfect and the presentation very nice. Overall great meal and great atmosphere.Special Features:
- Anniversary celebrationfoodlover123Dined on 8/2/2014We went with another couple to celebrate our mutual anniversaries. Delicious food-we had the chicken special and the beef filet. All were excellent. Sides were really good too. We even got a desserts on the house to celebrate our anniversaries! Great touch!Special Features:
- annie68Dined on 8/2/2014My friends and I enjoyed the food immensely. It was good. However, the noise level was deafening. We could not talk without shouting. We could not understand our waitress when she was speaking. The tables are so close together that you can hardly get out. The women's restroom had only one toilet so the line was very long. There are many places like the Haven, for instance Murphy's, Brio, The Palm, etc. so for the same $100 for two we can go someplace else.
- What a GREAT neighborhood spot!CathyDined on 7/29/2014The menu, wine list and specials are top knotch. Excellent service staff. We had a small buiness group and sat inside, but the patio looked like a great spot for a casual gathering or just for eating al fresco. Will definitely return when we're back in Atlanta.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favorite placesLoreoDined on 7/29/2014Haven is one of those neighborhood gems that you always wished you lived close to. Fortunately for me, I do, and I frequent it often! It is definitely foodie enough for a romantic dinner with great wine and plenty of ambiance, and casual enough for you to pull up a stool at the bar and start chatting with whomever is next to you. Very helpful and friendly staff as well as some neighborhood 'regulars' that always make you feel welcome. 'Burger night' on Tuesdays is a must try and a really great deal. Thursdays are for live music...fantastic band and a lot of fun.Special Features:

Love this vegan alternative to gelatin. Thickened up much more than Agar flakes would have, but still worked well.

Good for making natural gelatin. I am going to try to make carrot cheese with this agar agar. I have heard it is like cheddar cheese but natural.

Help me out here. If I were to stop you on the street and ask you which pitcher you would want on your fantasy squad in 2011, which would you chose (based on their career numbers)?
Pitcher A: 32-36, 4.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 4.25 K/9, 2.21 K/BB Pitcher B: 39-21, 4.41 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 6.86 K/9, 4.57 K/BB
Duh, you'd choose Pitcher B.
Which of the following two hurlers would you select based on their 2010 numbers?
Pitcher A: 10-12, 5.42 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 3.80 K/BB, 1.70 K/BB Pitcher B: 13-6, 4.45 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 6.71 K/9, 4.00 K/BB
Duh, you'd choose Pitcher B again.
So tell me, why would the Twins choose Pitcher A (Nick Blackburn) over Pitcher B (Kevin Slowey) as their 5th starter this season? Flat out – it beats me. Of course, I also couldn't solve the Riddle of the Sphinx either, so maybe I'm not the right one to ask (and yes, I know that the riddle likely doesn't have anything to do with the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau, but I liked the picture).
Let me be as clear as I can – Blackburn is, at his best, a league average hurler. In fact, that is being kind. Here are his career numbers versus the league average during his career.
Blackburn: 32-36, 4.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 4.25 K/9, 2.21 K/BB AL Avg: 33-32, 4.34 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 6.78 K/9, 2.04 K/BB
See what I'm saying?
Clearly Slowey is a better performer in ERA, WHIP, K/9, K/BB, winning percentage – I could go on but why belabor the point. Let's just say that the Twins are making an odd choice.
As for Slowey, how does he compare when we venture from placing him side-by-side with a slacker like Blackburn? Very well actually.
Slowey's career K/9 mark is a tenth better than the AL average the past four years while his walk rate is well better than anything most pitchers could ever accomplish as his ability to throw strikes is virtually unparalleled. Slowey has walked an average of 1.50 batters per nine innings in his career for a total of 79 walks in his career. To compare, C.J. Wilson walked 93 batters last season. Moreover, amongst pitchers who have thrown 470 or more innings since 2007, Slowey is the second best pitcher in baseball at limiting walks behind only the great Roy Halladay (1.42). That impressive ability to throw strikes for Slowey has enabled him to post the third best K/BB ratio since 2007 at 4.57, just slightly behind Halladay (5.08) and Cliff Lee (4.60). That's it, in all of baseball. So again, why in the hell is Slowey being sent to the bullpen in favor of Blackburn?
Now I'm not going to write this article totally pro-Slowey, I have to be honest about his faults too. There are three major issues with him.
(1) He has been unable to take the ball every five days (at least Blackburn can do that). Slowey has thrown 160.1, 90.2 and 155.2 innings the past three seasons. I'd like to think its just been bad luck, and maybe it has been, but he is no Matt Cain. At the same time he isn't quite Erik Bedard either.
(2) He allows far too many fly balls. In his career his fly ball rate sites at 48.1 percent, and last season that number was even higher at 50.6 percent leading to an absolutely horrible 0.56 GB/FB rate.
(3) As a result of the fly balls, you guessed it, he has allowed far too many homers in his career. The big league average is about 1.0 per nine innings. Slowey has never posted a total below his 1.21 mark of last season and owns a career rate of 1.41 per nine. That's awful.
On the plus side, Slowey has allowed a rather normal 10.0 percent homer to fly ball ratio in his career. The problem has been all those fly balls. So, theoretically, if he could just cut down on the fly balls a bit, his HR/9 mark could fall back to an "average" level. One way this might happen could be from a helping hand from his ball park. Target Field in Minnesota was the hardest park to go deep in during the 2010 season in the American League according to Park Indices. It would seem that Slowey is now in a great park given his skill set, and what do you know, his numbers at home were strong last season (8-4, 3.63 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 1.17 HR/9), so of course the Twins... oh never mind.
At this point it looks like Slowey will need an injury, or trade out of Minnesota, to become a mixed league option in 2011. As such, he is nothing more than a late round gamble since he could conceivably end up making 50 appearances out of the bullpen this year. The good news is that there must be a few intelligent GM's out there who are aware of the data I've relayed here, so even if one of them isn't in Minnesota, hopefully one of his compadres will make a deal for Slowey to let him do his thing every five days out of the starting rotation.

Have you seen the new regulations that just came out of the White House?
Americans who see these must run screaming to legislators for protection against the Department of Education.
The new regulations declare that Secretary Arne Duncan will amend ESEA to "phase out the authority of States to define modified academic achievement standards and develop alternate assessments based on those modified academic achievement standards in order to satisfy ESEA accountability requirements. These amendments will permit, as a transitional measure, States that meet certain criteria to continue to administer alternate assessments… for a limited period of time."
"Phasing out the authority of the states" has been precisely the point for every last one of Duncan's promoted education reforms, from Common Core to Common Data Standards to State Longitudinal Database Systems to P-20 programs to Common Core Assessments to teacher and school evaluations.

After several hours, these new babes are already putting on wing feathers! Just see!
Just had to share with those who never get to see or enjoy chicks. They weigh about like picking up a wad of cotton–almost nothing. But hidden inside them, given enough feed, etc., lies the beautifully mysterious potential to become five to eight pounds. About half are hens.
They are much stronger today than they were yesterday. Had to bathe one baby bottom, today, (five, yesterday) and the poor thing nearly got a full bath, it struggled so. :) Did not photograph that one because it is having a bad hair day right now. However, the temp is 90 degrees in their little brooder pen and things dry very quickly there.
The sixteen of them have drunk a whole quart of water. Good babies!
We chose the Buff Orpington variety on the advice of a good friend in the B&B business.
It's so much fun, even now. I never get too old for this:
Constantly charmed by their helpless yet feisty, teensy selves.

I think the Chromebook is going to give Apple a bit more competition than first assumed. Consumers, schools, and businesses are buying Chromebooks instead of more expensive devices. This could put new pressure on Apple to create a cheap device.

Indiana guard Yogi Ferrell's unreleased 6th grade rap (VIDEO)

Before Yogi Ferrell took his talents to Bloomington, Ind. as the Hoosiers freshman point guard, he was simply Kevin, a middle schooler trying to make it in the rap game.
On Sunday, a 6th grade rap from Ferrell was uploaded to YouTube. The About tab reads the following:
So I just found my computer from 6th grade and this video (from seven years ago) was on my hard drive. I have no idea how or why this was on here but I thought I'd share. If I remember correctly, back in 6th grade at Park Tudor we had a business fair where every student had to sell a product … this was his product. In case someone cares, this was posted with Yogi's permission.
Did you catch that at the :26 mark?
"I wanna play for Duke …"
Ferrell is lucky his skills on the basketball court have paid off, he's no dual-threat like teammate Victor Oladipo, who once sang Usher's "U Got It Bad" at an Indiana University talent show as a freshman.

China Deploys New Bomber with Long-Range Land Attack Missile
China's military recently deployed an upgraded strategic bomber that will carry the military's new long-range land attack cruise missile, capable of attacking Hawaii and Guam, according to a draft congressional report.
The Oct. 8 draft of the forthcoming report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission also reveals that China has developed a new armed drone nearly identical to U.S. military's Reaper. The Chinese missile-firing drone likely was developed through Chinese cyber espionage against U.S. defense contractors.
The report highlights a rapidly modernizing Chinese military that includes large numbers of new weapons and new warfighting techniques, including attack capabilities in space and cyberspace.
"PLA modernization is on track to alter the security balance in Asia over the next five to 10 years, challenging decades of U.S. military preeminence," the report concludes.
On the bomber, the People's Liberation Army in June accepted the first of 15 new Hongzha-6K, or H-6K, bombers. The bomber is based on a late 1950s Soviet design but has an extended range. However, its long-range cruise missile is new.
The report said the H-6K, also known as "Zhan Shen" or God of War, "can carry China's new long-range land-attack cruise missile (LACM)."
"The bomber/LACM weapon system provides the PLA Air Force with the ability to conduct conventional strikes against regional targets throughout the western Pacific, including U.S. facilities in Guam," the report said.
Guam is being built up by the U.S. military as a key strategic military hub as part of the new "pivot" strategy of realigning forces toward Asia.
The report said China's new land-attack missile can be equipped with a nuclear warhead. However, so far there is no confirmation that the new missile is armed with nuclear warheads.
The final commission report will be released Nov. 20 and a commission spokesman said some of the late draft's elements could be changed. A copy of the draft was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
China last month disclosed for the first time video of the Changjian-10, or CJ-10, land-attack cruise missile carried by the new bomber. The H-6K carries up to six of the missiles.
The Chinese are also developing a nuclear-capable variant known as the CJ-20 that would be deployed on the H-6K.

Ancient map with China at centre goes on show in US
The map was created by Italian missionary Matteo Ricci in 1602. It is one of only two copies in existence in good condition.
Because of its rarity and fragility - the map is printed on rice paper - the map has become known as the "Impossible Black Tulip of Cartography".
This is the first time it has been on public show in north America.
Ricci created the map at the request of Emperor Wanli who wanted it to help scholars and explorers.
'Revered by Chinese'
The map was purchased by the James Ford Bell Trust in October for $1m (£0.62m), making it the second-most expensive rare map ever sold.
It denotes different parts of the world with annotations and pictures.
In the Americas, for example, several places are named including Chih-Li (Chile), Wa-ti-ma-la (Guatemala) and Ka-na-ta (Canada), and Florida is described as "the Land of the Flowers".
Ford W Bell, a trustee for the James Ford Bell Trust, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper, that the map was "one of the two best in terms of quality, as far as we know".
"Ricci was a very smart missionary. He put China right at the centre of this new universe, this new globe, to underscore its importance," he said.
"Ricci, of course, was the first Westerner to enter Beijing. He was revered by the Chinese, and he was buried there."
The first secretary for cultural affairs at the Chinese embassy in the US, Ti Ban Zhang, said in a statement that the map represents "the momentous first meeting of East and West".

11/16/2014 - Coverage of The Ninth Annual Grinch Christmas Tree Lighting by KUSI Photojournalist Mark Mehlinger at The Old Globe's Copley Plaza, Balboa Park, San Diego
Globe for All's professional production of Shakespeare's fascinating romance All's Well That Ends Well spent the last two weeks touring community venues throughout San Diego, helping make theatre matter to a wider cross-section of our city. From military bases, recreation centers, libraries, centers for the elderly, to homeless shelters, we delighted in the audience's broad smiles and rapt attention as many saw their first Shakespeare play ever. Here's NBC 7/39's Artie Ojeda intriguing report from Centinela State Prison:
SAN DIEGO (June 10, 2014; UPDATED Nov. 6, 2014)—The Old Globe today announced that James Vásquez (Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show) will direct the final show of its 2014-2015 Season, the West Coast premiere of an exciting new American play, Rich Girl, by acclaimed playwright Victoria Stewart. Rich Girl will play May 23 – June 21, 2015.
Celebrated director Jessica Stone, who recently made her Globe debut with Christopher Durang's Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, will direct George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man. Utterly romantic and one of the wittiest and most charming plays of the English stage, Arms and the Man mixes smarts and silliness in a wonderfully entertaining tale of love and war beginning May 9.
Rich Girl will play in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre and Arms and the Man on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, all part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.
Tickets to the Globe's 2014-2015 Season subscription prices range from $99 to $615, and packages may be purchased online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE or by visiting the Box Office.
The ninth annual Old Globe Christmas Tree Lighting will kick off the holiday season in conjunction with San Diego's favorite holiday musical, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Designed by Grinch scenic designer John Lee Beatty, the unique tree will be located in the center of the Globe Plaza and will remain for the run of the show.
This free fun family event will feature a special live performance by members of the Grinch cast and a delightful holiday snowfall on the Globe's Copley Plaza. Although the event is free, reservations are required.
Reservations can be made by contacting the Box Office at (619) 23-GLOBE.
Once again, one lucky child will be crowned "Santa for a Day" at the event.
Parents of children aged 3 - 10 may submit their child's drawing expressing what the holidays mean to them and their family to be entered in the Globe's "Santa for a Day" contest. The randomly selected winner will receive a VIP Family Four-Pack to attend the 4:30 p.m. performance of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! on Nov. 16 and, directly after the show, assist the Grinch on stage with the lighting of the tree at the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Parents may enter their child's drawing by emailing a photo of it to firstname.lastname@example.com, or drawings may also be delivered in person to the Globe Box Office or mailed to "Santa for a Day" Contest, P.O. Box 122171, San Diego, CA 92112. All of these submissions will be posted online on The Old Globe's Facebook page. Parents may also enter by posting a photo of their child's drawing on their Instagram page and tagging @TheOldGlobe.Â
Contest entries will be accepted through Wednesday, Nov. 12, and the winner will be announced on the Globe's Facebook and Instagram pages on Thursday, Nov. 13. All entries must include the name and age of the child and a parent or guardian's phone. One winner will be chosen at random from all entries received by Nov. 12. Only one entry per child will be accepted. Families with multiple children may submit multiple drawings. Submitted drawings will not be returned.
What does a woman do when the only man she wants to marry won't have her, even when the king commands it? In All's Well That Ends Well (last seen in the Globe's 2008 Shakespeare Festival), Shakespeare pits the wise and witty Helena against the hotheaded courtier Bertram in a clash of wills filled with comic surprises and passionate poetry.
All's Well That Ends Well is the first production of a new program: Globe for All, which brings professional theatre to community venues throughout San Diego, helping make theatre matter to a wider cross-section of our city.
This free-of-charge tour of a professional production of Shakespeare will allow the theatre to serve more communities throughout San Diego by collaborating with a diverse range of local organizations. Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein directs the first production, Shakespeare's fascinating romance All's Well That Ends Well.

The Globe for All tour will present Shakespeare in a variety of community venues including military bases, recreation centers, libraries, centers for the elderly, homeless shelters, and correctional facilities. The emphasis will be on reaching underserved communities and multigenerational audiences. Globe for All employs a model of community outreach designed to make theatre matter to audiences who, for whatever reason, have not enjoyed regular access to the professional performing arts. The tour will play in non-theatrical venues such as gymnasiums, cafeterias, and multipurpose rooms. With production values scaled to those spaces, the tour will give audiences an intimate, up-close, and visceral experience of live performance and will foster a shared sense of community between performer and spectator.
Support for Globe for All includes grants from The Legler Benbough Foundation, The Parker Foundation (Gerald T. and Inez Grant Parker), The Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation, and the County of San Diego's Community Enhancement Program. Additional support provided by Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation.

SAN DIEGO (Oct. 22, 2014)—The Old Globe today announced the cast and creative team for the Old Globe/University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program presentation of William Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre, running November 15 – November 23 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a startling epic of the trials, heartbreak, and redemption of a warrior who must navigate the dangerous currents of human corruption and angry fate. Join him as he travels across the treacherous oceans of North Africa, ancient Syria, Turkey, and Greece and is forever changed by the comically exotic and morally vague figures he meets. Love, betrayal, laughter, and adventure unfold in this engrossing, yet seldom produced, Shakespearean gem.
"The Old Globe's M.F.A. program is one of the jewels in this theater's crown, and I'm as proud of the work we do training the next generation of American actors as I am of anything else in the institution's life," said Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. "The talent that thrives in our venture with USD is top-notch, and in the fascinating Shakespearean saga that is Pericles, Prince of Tyre, that talent will be on dazzling display."
The cast features Amy Blackman (Thaisa), Maxx Brawer (Cleon), Lindsay Brill (Bawd), Charlotte Bydwell (Lychorida, Diana), Lowell Byers (Pericles), Ally Carey (Dionyza), Jamal Douglas (Simonides), Tyler Kent (Helicanus), Jake Millgard (Cerimon, Pandar), Makha Mthembu (Marina), Daniel Petzold (Boult), Megan M.

A joint venture of The Old Globe and the University of San Diego, the Master of Fine Arts in Dramatic Arts program nationally recruits seven students each year to participate in an intensive two-year, year-round course of graduate study in classical theatre. Private funding for the Master of Fine Arts in Theatre program has been contributed through a generous endowment established by Donald and Darlene Shiley. Additional support for the program is provided by The Dorothy Brown Endowment Fund and the Louis Yager Cantwell Foundation. For additional information, visit www.globemfa.org.
Since first training with The Old Globe in the mid-80s, Ray Chambers (Director) has worked as a classical actor and director with numerous regional theatres across the country.

AFI announces lifetime achievement award for writer-comic-actor, now at the Old Globe with new musical Bright Star!
By James Hebert
Let's be honest here: Do we really know who Steve Martin is?
Some say he's the writer and co-composer of the world-premiere musical Bright Star, now onstage at the Old Globe Theatre.
(Actually, he says that, in this U-T interview about the show: )
(Come to think of it, we pretty much say that too, in our review of the production: )
We know he has been a standup comic. We know he doggedly pursued that career despite a string of bizarre apparent accidents in midperformance.
We know he wrote about that time of his life in a very serious book about the art of being funny.
We know he is probably not an IRS agent, and we're very sorry you gave him all that money.
But here's something no one could have ever dreamed about Steve Martin: He's also a big movie star!
(Oh, you already knew that too?)
The American Film Institute is obviously pretty aware of the fact: The organization has revealed that this June, it will honor Martin with a lifetime achievement award.
In announcing the award, AFI Chairman Howard Stringer said: "Steve Martin is an American original. From a wild and crazy stand-up comic to one who stands tall among the great figures in this American art form, he is a multilayered creative force bound by neither convention nor caution. His work is defined by him alone, for he is the author – and a national treasure whose work has stuck with us like an arrow in the head. AFI is proud to present him with its 43rd Life Achievement Award."
Martin, whose long list of films includes "The Jerk," "Pennies From Heaven," "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (coincidentally made into a musical at the Old Globe), "Little Shop of Horrors," "L.A. Story" and many more, was previously the recipient of an honorary Oscar,
So, that's what this item is about. Steve Martin: AFI Award. (Just in case you thought it was an excuse to plug our interview with Martin, and our review of the show. Both of which are available via conveniently clickable links in the third and fourth paragraphs above.)

Steve Martin has been tapped as the 43rd recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award, to be presented at a June 4 gala.
This is a good year for Martin, who received an Honorary Oscar last November and recently opened a new musical, Bright Star (which Martin created with Edie Brickell), at the Old Globe. He was given a Kennedy Center honor in 2007.
The American Film Institute tribute will air on TNT.
According to the American Film Institute, the Lifetime Achievement nod is given to "an individual whose career in motion pictures or television has greatly contributed to the enrichment of American culture."
In making the announcement, AFI board of trustees chairman Howard Stringer said, "Steve Martin is an American original. From a wild and crazy stand-up comic to one who stands tall among the great figures in this American art form, he is a multi-layered creative force bound by neither convention nor caution. His work is defined by him alone, for he is the author – and a national treasure whose work has stuck with us like an arrow in the head. AFI is proud to present him with its 43rd Life Achievement Award."
After working at Disneyland performing magic tricks and selling guidebooks, Martin became a writer for "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" in the 1960s and segued into work as a standup comic. He earned an Oscar nom for the short "The Absent-Minded Waiter" and made his feature bow with the 1979's "The Jerk."
He won an Emmy for his TV writing, and has Grammys for the comedy albums "Let's Get Small" and "A Wild and Crazy Guy." He won another Grammy for best American Roots Song for "Love Has Come For You" His books include "Cruel Shoes" and "Shopgirl."
On June 5, Jane Fonda became the eighth woman to receive the AFI Life Achievement honor. The ceremony was telecast a week later on TNT.
John Ford was the first honoree, in 1973. For the first 20 years, AFI mostly honored retired film giants whose most prolific years were behind them, such as Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis and Frank Capra.
But in the last two decades, the honorees have been people with still-active careers, such as Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and Meryl Streep. In 1993, the AFI board of trustees had extended the criteria "to encompass individuals with active careers and work of significance yet to be accomplished," according to AFI.
