Dear Friend,
The New Globe Theater needs your help. If we do not
act now, we will forever lose the opportunity to
create an inspiring cultural icon in New York Harbor!
On Governors Island sits a dilapidated military
fortification ... and it happens to have the identical
blueprint as Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. We want to
restore the fort and re-imagine the open courtyard as
a vibrant performing arts center, however the National
Park Service is about to disallow this proposal.
The National Park Service stresses that the monument
belongs to the American people - so let us make sure
that they can't ignore what we want! click here:

In the spirit of placing the Statue of Liberty onto
the 1811 Fort Wood, let us transform this military
fort into a cultural beacon.
The New Globe proposal has received the backing of
hundreds of individuals and organizations, from
Senators Clinton and Schumer to Congressman Nadler and
Community Board #1, from actors (such as Al Pacino,
Kevin Kline, Mark Rylance, Ralph Fiennes, Estelle
Parsons, Melvin Van Peebles, Sarah Jessica Parker, and
Philip Seymour Hoffman) to artistic directors (Sam
Mendes, Oskar Eustis, Kenny Leon, and Sir Peter Hall).
Not only has New York's preservation community
embraced the proposal (e.g., NYC Landmarks
Preservation Commission, and Municipal Art Society),
but also a diverse range of individuals from war
veterans to acting students to G.I. army brats. For
more information, see www.newglobe.org.
I ask you to join me and all of our supporters in
urging the National Park Service to be visionary and
imaginative! Your action today truly makes a
difference in our ongoing efforts to create a new
cultural destination in New York Harbor. I hope to see
you at opening night.
Sincerely,
Dr. Barbara Romer
Founder and CEO of the The New Globe Theater
