Pasadena Playhouse to close; A destination for LHS drama fans in 2009

The Pasadena Playhouse is closing in February as reported by the L.A. Times. Last year alumni, teachers and students visited to attend the presentation of "Stormy Weather," a story about Lena Horne, played by Leslie Uggams. [Review from L.A. Times last February- http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/02/review-stormy-w.html ]

The Times story today by By Mike Boehm, January 30, 2010, goes into more details, and like most things today, it's all about money and the lack thereof. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/arts/la-et-pasadena-playhouse30-2010jan30,0,673828,full.story

Some LHS alumni from back in our history trained and performed at the Pasadena Playhouse. See Johh Doucette,
