This is so sad. They've done many wonderful productions. They are closing when Camelot's run is up on Feb. 7.

This is very sad!

I literally just *TODAY* sent over an application there for an internship, too.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

wow. I hope they don't tear it down to make room for retail, since it's across a mall. The place is breathtaking!

We have also been putting together a benefit for Haiti which is still taking place on Feb 1.

It is a very sad day indeed.

WHAT?!

I wonder if HAVANA, the newest Frank Wildhorn muscial which was scheduled for June, July or August THIS summer, will just debut in Tampa now or the Alley. Wow! This is shocking...

It is a beautiful theater, in what seems like an upscale, affluent area. Sad that it can not make it in these times.

They cannot tear it down - it's a historic monument and can't be touched. While this press release was of absolute necessity, I don't think they're down quite yet.

Guys like Henry Fonda, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and Raymond Burr began their careers there. It dates back to about 1918.

"Guys like Henry Fonda, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and Raymond Burr began their careers there. It dates back to about 1918."

It's too bad guys like those mentioned aren't stepping forward to help one of the places that gave them an early artistic home. That's one of the reasons I continue to admire Tom Hanks. He got his start at the Great Lakes Theatre (then Shakespeare) Festival in Cleveland and has not forgotten that, having returned several times over the years to do benefit performances for them, most recently to help them finish raising the final capital on the renovation of their new home, the Hanna Theatre.

Well, if Henry Fonda and Raymond Burr stepped forward it would be a miracle! Pasadena Playhouse to close

Ditto regarding Tom Hanks. Some people just seem to do the right thing.

Sad news. Allofmy life has a good point, though.
