Making an Impact on the American Theatre

Pasadena Playhouse is under the guidance of Artistic Director Sheldon Epps, whose commitment to cultural and theatrical diversity brings vitality and direction to the theatre. This commitment is reflected in seasons featuring Tony and Pulitzer award-winning plays as well as in outreach and artistic programs, which have doubled in size in the last two years.

"...The Playhouse...is thriving artistically, with a multicultural and youthful audience any theatre would envy. In the [recent] past, a sold-out production of Fences starring Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett and directed by Epps won rave reviews throughout Southern California, while a premiere co-production (with Atlanta's Alliance Theatre) of SISTER ACT: The Musical, and a rewritten revival of Cole Porter's Can-Can, broke box-office records. Meanwhile, the director's ongoing "legacy of artistic and theatrical diversity" won him and the Playhouse a $125,000 James Irvine Foundation Leadership Award this past July [2007]."

"From the moment you enter the courtyard, there is sense of being present at a live, special event. This is partly due to the diverse group of audience members whose energy reflects the eagerness to participate in the evening."
- LA Stage Magazine on Pasadena Playhouse

"I am a huge fan of Pasadena Playhouse and artistic director Sheldon Epps and the daring, passionate approach he has brought to the Playhouse."
- Jason Alexander, actor and Artistic Director of Reprise! Broadway's Best
