2009 MAINSTAGE SEASON
|
The core of the Pasadena Playhouse mission is to
develop and create a culture of theatrical
diversity. Our
programming includes stories from all walks of life; plays
and musicals; comedies and dramas; and productions ranging
from the most intimate to the most expansive.
This season celebrates dramatic works written by and about
women. Throughout the year, we will bring you the fire of
the legendary Lena Horne, the searing wit of Pulitzer
Prize Finalist Theresa Rebeck, the classic touch of
Lillian Hellman, Regina Taylor’s Crowns, a fabulous
new work by Playhouse favorite Charles Randolph-Wright and
one more exciting production to be determined later in
2009.
