ONGOING
ACTIVITIES
The Alumni and Associates continue to be a major
part of the daily operation of the Pasadena Playhouse and participate in every conceivable
way, from deciding what goes on stage to introducing first-timers to the magic
of live theatre. The following is just a partial list of the valuable services
our Alumni provide while spending time with friends and taking advantage of the
bountiful artistic programs that continue to make the Playhouse one of the
country’s most exciting stages.

Archives
We’re
always looking for a helping hand keeping our records in order. Volunteers in
the archives keep track of all the publicity that the Playhouse or the Alumni
receive in addition to maintaining our collection of programs and photos going
back to 1916, they are building computer databases for ready access to this
information, and help the public process inquiries into the theatre’s history
and the people who made it famous. If you are interested in helping in the
archives or need more information, please call Penn
Genthner at 626-737-2865 or email him
at pgenthner@pasadenaplayhouse.org.
Frequent
tours of the Playhouse are given by volunteer guides recruited from the Alumni,
Friends and staff at the Playhouse. Those interested in becoming a tour leader
are given their own special tour, a packet of material to discuss with patrons,
learn the tour routes and get to know more about the historical, architectural,
and artistic background of our national landmark theatre. If you are interested
in becoming a tour leader or need more information, please call Playhouse
Archivist Penn Genthner at 626-737-2865 or email him at pgenthner@pasadenaplayhouse.org.
New
Generations Docents
The
New Generations program for at-risk youth provides the cultural and social experience
of attending a regular evening performance of a Pasadena Playhouse mainstage
production. Participants meet with a Playhouse docent upon arrival to learn
about the history of the theatre and the play they are about to see. If you are
interested in becoming a docent or need more information, please call Playhouse
Director of Education Bryan Davidson at 626-737-2843 or email him at achamow@pasadenaplayhouse.org.
Student
Matinee Ushers
The
Pasadena Playhouse serves the community through partnerships with local schools
and social service organizations, providing tickets to our special “student
matinee” once or twice for each play on main stage. We always need volunteer
ushers to help staff these matinees. If
you are interested in helping or need more information, please call Marilyn Stutenroth at 626-798-6989
or email her at mystutenroth@msn.com.
