January 21 – March 1, 2009

With glamour, grace and an inner fire that blazed a trail for generations,
the legendary Lena Horne has never failed to amaze! Taking both Hollywood and the music industry by storm, her voice has resonated throughout the decades, not only through her incredible vocal talent ("From This Moment On," "The Lady is a Tramp" and of course "Stormy Weather"), but also through her determination to fight for what she believed. Don't miss the incredible Leslie Uggams in this new musical extravaganza as she takes us on the sometimes stormy, always extraordinary journey of an American icon.

Furious Theatre Company

Furious Theatre Company Presents…
Los Angeles Premiere
HUNTER GATHERERS
Written by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
Directed by Dámaso Rodriguez

January 24 - February 21, 2009
(Previews January 21-23)
The Los Angeles premiere of the 2006 Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award-winner finds Pam and Richard hosting their best friends, Wendy and Tom, for an annual dinner get-together. An animal sacrifice kicks off the evening, followed by a little more sex, violence, deception, wrestling, and dancing than at previous parties. A darkly comic evening where the line between civilized and primal man is blurred, and where not everyone will survive long enough to enjoy the brownies for dessert.

Upstairs at the Pasadena Playhouse in the Carrie Hamilton Theatre

AIR GUITAR HIGH
By Laura Schellhardt
Directed by Alexis Chamow
February 2009

Nothing ever happens in Scrug, Iowa. At least that's what the kids who attend Scrug High School will tell you. Until the US Regional Air Guitar Championships come through town, that is. Then things start to happen in Scrug, Iowa. Then things start to happen "for realz." AIR GUITAR HIGH is the high-octane story of a group of teenagers determined to take their futures into their own hands. Literally.


Tickets are FREE but reservations are a must and can be made at 626-356-7529. Click here for more information about the Hothouse at the Playhouse program.
