The Old Globe will present artist Wendy Maruyama’s large-scale sculptural installation “The Tag Project” in conjunction with the World Premiere of Allegiance – A New American Musical. “The Tag Project” memorializes the nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans who were imprisoned in U.S. internment camps during World War II. The project consists of 10 groupings of replicas of the historic identification labels issued to every internee, including their name, number and the camp to which they were relocated. Three of the groupings will be hung in the upper lobby of the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, during the run of Allegiance. Admittance to the exhibit is included in the ticket price to Allegiance and is available for viewing 45 minutes prior to showtime.
