Pasadena Playhouse, Pasadena

It's actually been close to a year since I've seen this show. I'm catching up here on the blog.

This production starred Lawrence Fishburne and Angela Bassett. Two huge personalities.

It's a play by August Wilson. He wrote one play for each decade of the 20th century describing the life of the african american in Philadelphia. They're very well known and this production was wonderful. Great costumes, sets, and the acting was phenominal.

The Pasadena Playhouse seems to consistently do quality work. More and more I see the productions leaning towards a more ethnic audience, but I don't mind that. Diversity is what Los Angeles is all about.
