Pasadena Playhouse looks toward 100th anniversary of building with new season

Pasadena Playhouse looks toward the 100th anniversary of its building in 2025 with a new season. Producing Artistic Director Danny Feldman has announced the Mainstage offerings for the 2024/2025 Season including Martin Crimp’s critically acclaimed new adaptation of “Cyrano de Bergerac”; a fresh new revival of Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein’s Tony Award winner for Best Musical, “La Cage aux Folles”;  a new production of Suzan-Lori Parks’ Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning classic, “Topdog/Underdog”; and a new play to be announced at a later date. 

New for the Playhouse in the 2024/2025 Season will be a Special Theatrical Event at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium: “Anything Goes in Concert”, starring Jinkx Monsoon (RuPaul’s Drag Race) as Reno Sweeney and “Follies in Concert” with two back-to-back weekends of performances. 

Season packages are now on sale and include the four Mainstage productions and one concert event. Creative teams and casting will be announced at a later date. 

In January 2025, the Playhouse will also present The Next Stage Immersive Summit 2025 in partnership with The Immersive Experience Institute, the main service organization for immersive theater artists. The gathering of creators of immersive art and entertainment will draw international guests from the fields of performing arts, themed entertainment, XR, and gaming. This is the largest gathering of its kind in the world. 

“We are thrilled to begin our celebration and honor one of the most iconic buildings in the history of the American Theater as it turns 100 years old with a bold and thrilling season of iconic theater” said Feldman. 

Memberships are now available at pasadenaplayhouse.org, or by calling 626-356-7529.
