Pasadena Playhouse (The Playhouse) makes theater for everyone. As the State Theatre of California, its mission is to enrich people’s lives through theater, community programs and conversations, in order to reflect its local and state-wide communities. Since 1917, neighbors have gathered in its historic facilities to escape, be entertained and challenged, and to feel inspired by new works and classics. The Playhouse understands the gravity of its responsibility to represent California’s diverse population and their stories on its stages, and programs its season with this undertaking at the forefront of its decision making.
