In addition to the 1614 Globe Re-creation, the American Globe Center also includes the Stratford Playhouse, a modern performing arts center and multi-function/event space. Stratford will become home to a true destination theatre for the region, the nation, and the world. The leadership of the American Globe Center is comprised of established theatre and business professionals with a proven track r
ecord of funding and building commercially successful Shakespeare re-creation theatres, providing excellence in entertainment, inclusivity, education, and economic development. We are dedicated to making the Globe and Performing Arts Center an artistic home and a resonant voice for all the people of Stratford and the surrounding areas. The American Tourism Board states that for every $1 in ticket sales at a strong destination theatre, town businesses, restaurants, and lodging will net $5-7, which in our model = $25-50+ million annually. This will increase the tax base, raise property values, and make Stratford a more prosperous place to live, work, and raise families.
