As a nonprofit theater dedicated to connecting people in our diverse communities through bold, resonant theater, we rely on the generosity of donors to support our award-winning productions as well as our innovative educational and community engagement programs. Ticket sales only cover 40% of our costs, making our supporters crucial to delivering great work to our stage. We can’t do it without you.
With longstanding ties to Sierra Madre and the greater San Gabriel Valley, we remain committed to engaging a diverse audience and inspiring the next generation of artists and theater lovers.

Youth Education Programs
Give the gift of live theater to young people! Our innovative youth programs bring high-quality, live theater to schoolchildren, expand arts access for young people in traditionally underserved communities, illuminate career pathways for teens, promote community engagement, and inspire the industry’s future leaders.
Since 2014, our Theater for Young Audiences program has allowed nearly 10,000 students and teachers from 12 different school districts to experience high-quality, live theater, many of them for the very first time. Past productions include A Wrinkle in Time, Charlotte’s Web, and Einstein is a Dummy.
In 2022, we brought 6th grade students to the theater with special performances of Silent Sky in partnership with Pasadena Unified School District as part of their Open Stage program. In collaboration with the Playhouse, district artists-in-residence and classroom teachers will integrate theater with the English Language Arts curriculum and Social Emotional Learning competencies through a sequence of classroom-based lessons and activities.
Our Teen Council program provides monthly opportunities for local students ages 12-17 to meet up with other young theater lovers, participate in workshops with theater professionals, and attend our professional productions, all free of cost. It is our hope that participants will be inspired to continue participation in the arts throughout their lives.
All in 4 Youth increases arts access for young people of color, disenfranchised youth, and those from low-income families by gifting blocks of tickets to community groups working with secondary students from underserved communities. Participating groups are hosted at a scheduled public performance by a teaching artist, who provides context for the production, answers questions, and generally welcomes the students to the Playhouse.
Help us inspire the next generation of theater lovers! Sponsor a seat for one student ($15), a carpool ($75), a class ($450) or a performance ($1500). Every gift counts and will bring the joy of live theater to more students!
