TOURS OF THE PLAYHOUSE

Aside from what happens on stage, some of the most fun and interesting parts of the Pasadena Playhouse are those that our patrons rarely, if ever, get to see. Before you enjoy one of our productions, Playhouse artists and craftsmen have been at work for months, fine-tuning performances and adding the painstaking details that bring theatrical artifice magically to life.

Complimentary backstage tours allow you to get a close look at scenery under construction, the theatre’s beautiful Green Room and recently restored Craftsman-style library, as well as a final peek at the Carrie Hamilton Theatre before its upcoming renovation by Frank Gehry next year. You’ll hear about the Playhouse’s role as Hollywood’s “Talent Factory,” how its founders dreamed up some of the most significant innovations in 20th century dramatic art, and maybe even meet Gilmor, the mischievous but well-meaning ghost of the Pasadena Playhouse.

Tours are free and can be scheduled by appointment at nearly any time. For more information, call or email Penn Genthner at (626) 737-2865 or pgenthner@pasadenaplayhouse.org.
