The Old Globe’s Online Marketplace for Holiday Shopping
The Old Globe launched The Old Globe Marketplace, an online space for the Globe’s talented artisans and staff to offer their goods and services to the public and express their creativity during the prolonged closure of The Old Globe’s performance venues. There are a dozen Globe staff members taking part, with more to be added in the coming weeks and months, presenting a wide variety of offerings. The Old Globe Marketplace is the perfect holiday shopping opportunity, but it will live on past the holiday season and offer fun gifts year-round. It is open now, and the full list of participating vendors can be found at www.TheOldGlobe.org/Marketplace.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the theatre industry intensely, but many Globe employees have pivoted in creative ways to continue their crafts and see themselves through this prolonged intermission, and the Globe aims to support them in this exciting new way. The staff members taking part in this marketplace come from all corners of The Old Globe—carpenters, costumers, stage managers, graphic designers, fundraisers, and more—and people who purchase items from them will know they are supporting passionate local artists during this difficult time. Some of the products and services currently available include original fine artwork, facemasks, handmade purses, calligraphy, jewelry restringing, florist services, virtual party games, and more.
