The Pasadena Playhouse has a rich and vibrant history dating back to 1917, when an itinerant acting troupe by the name of the Gilmor Brown Players settled in Pasadena. After receiving enough funds from local donations, the company moved out of the derelict old burlesque house they had been renting, and into the newly constructed Pasadena Playhouse in 1924, originally known as the Pasadena Community Playhouse. Due to its rising success performing the entire canon of Shakespaere for the first time in America, California legislature voted to dedicate The Playhouse as the Official State Theater in 1937. During this time, the theater included a College of Theater Arts (known as "The Star Factory"), which produced such notables as Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Raymond Burr and Sally Struthers.

Now in its Centennial year, The Playhouse has reigned the 2nd oldest regional theater in the nation and continues to be a historic arts institution dedicated to diversity, excellence and fostering new work. The Playhouse has performed over 1,200 productions - 550 of which were New Commissions, 7 productions that were brought to Broadway and Off-Broadway and over 500 World Premieres.

May 30 - June 25, 2017 - Hold These Truths

Seventy-five years ago, an executive order called for American citizens to be ripped from their homes and forced into internment camps, detained solely based on their heritage and ancestry. Amid the chaos, one young student stands up for what he passionately believes is right in the face of a country deeply divided between national security and freedom for all. Based on the true story of Gordon Hirabayashi, Hold These Truths is a shockingly relevant cautionary tale of the injustices perpetrated when nationalism, fear and hysteria collide.
