The Pasadena Playhouse offers 1,000 season memberships at a discounted price of $100 as a “thank you” to community
Pasadena Playhouse announces its 2017/18 season, the first under new Producing Artistic Director Danny Feldman, which includes bold, new takes on beloved classics, an exciting new Olivier award-winning political thriller, and an irreverent look at one of America’s most hot-button issues. The Playhouse collaborates with Los Angeles’s award-winning theater companies Deaf West Theatre and Culture Clash, along with Chicago’s Hypocrites Theater Company.
“Our 2017/18 season celebrates the bold, adventurous spirit that has always been at the heart of Pasadena Playhouse,” said Pasadena Playhouse Producing Artistic Director Danny Feldman. “From fresh takes on two of theater’s most enduring classics, to a future history play in the style of Shakespeare, to a collaboration with LA’s most dynamic performance trio, the new season will entertain and create unforgettable experiences for our audiences just as we’ve been doing for 100 years.”
“We are approaching the Centennial season and the launch of our second century with a totally fresh perspective – from our plays to our new membership program to how we engage our community in exciting ways – the Playhouse will attract new audiences and inspire anyone who has ever walked through our doors to take notice and participate,” said Pasadena Playhouse Board Chair Brad King.
To celebrate the Centennial season, Pasadena Playhouse is offering 1,000 individual memberships at $100 (normally $275) for new members for a limited time. “It’s our way of saying thank you to the community that has supported and stood by our side for 100 years,” said Feldman. The new membership program includes tickets to every season show, great seats and invitations to behind-the-scenes events as well as other benefits. A full listing of, membership benefits and levels is on pasadenaplayhouse.org. The Pasadena Playhouse’s 2017/18 season includes:
