OF MICE AND MEN
Once in a great while a dramatic theatrical event takes place that demands national attention. Such is the case with Pasadena Playhouse's groundbreaking revisionist production of John Steinbeck's beloved tale Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck's powerful portrait of two men's quest for the American dream is given an astounding and provocative make-over by acclaimed director Paul Lazarus.

In 1942, several years after Steinbeck's original setting for Of Mice and Men, a government sponsored program was put into place that would forever change the face of immigration in this country. It was called the Bracero Program and opened the door to thousands of Mexican immigrants who crossed the border in pursuit of dreams for a better life for their families. Not only did this program quite literally fuel the expanding American economy but it also created a wave of immigration that continues to this day. This daring and profound setting for Of Mice and Men amplifies Steinbeck's themes of loneliness and longing and provides a fresh experience for Playhouse audiences.
