From the California State Library: Pasadena Playhouse
"Designed in the Spanish style by Pasadena architect
Elmer Grey, the cornerstone for the Pasadena Playhouse
was laid in May, 1924. The theater staged its first
production in May 1925 and was recognized by the
Legislature as the State Theater in 1937. With close
ties to Hollywood, many famous actors have graced the
Pasadena Playhouse stage including Jean Arthur,
Eve Arden, Gene Hackman, Raymond Burr, and Tyrone Power.
The theater has produced hundreds of new scripts
including many American and world premieres. Today,
the 680-seat mainstage theater hosts a year-round
season of six plays, giving 306-322 performances
annually."
