In June 1979 the three-theater complex, consisting of the planned Old Globe Theater, the Cassius Carter Centre Stage and Festival Stage, was named the Simon Edison Centre for the Performing Arts in honor of the late husband of Helen Edison. Her contribution to the rebuilding fund was at the time the largest, single, private donation ever made to a San Diego performing arts institution.

The GLOBE THEATER was one of the first theaters in the city of Cleveland. Built by J. W. Watson in 1840, it was located on the 2nd floor of a business building on the north side of Superior Ave., approximately midway between Bank (W. 6th) St. and Seneca (W. 3rd) St. The theater was 60' wide by 100' long and approximately 25' high. The Globe had good acoustics and seated nearly 1,000, but the shallow stage measured 40' wide by 15' deep. Although quite handsome, it was redecorated frequently because of changes in ownership and name.
