Pasadena Playhouse

Culture venue

Built by public subscription in 1925 in Spanish Colonial Revival style, with a fire curtain painted by Alson Clark; its community-theatre roots led George Bernard Shaw to call Pasadena 'the Athens of the West'. Now the official State Theater of California and a Tony Award winner, with a 686-seat house.
