Pasadena's Next Chapter

Great news out West: The Pasadena Playhouse is "emerging" from Chapter 11. Managing director Stephen Eich says the plan is "to resurrect the Playhouse from years of unbearable debts. Although we will be moving slowly in the future to ensure financial responsibility and stability, we will in fact be back." Combine that with the news about A Noise Within's new space there, and this summer is turning out to be a good one for the arts in Pasadena.
