PASADENA, CA (June 17, 2014) – The Pasadena Playhouse (Sheldon Epps, Artistic
Director and Elizabeth Doran, Executive Director), celebrates “Pasadena Day” with
a performance of Vanessa Claire Stewart’s STONEFACE,
the fifth production of the 2013-2014 season.
Pasadena residents and employees
will have the opportunity to purchase $20 tickets for the Thursday, June 26 at
8pm performance. “Pasadena Day” tickets
are available in person at the box office, 39 South El Molino
Avenue, Pasadena CA 91101, with a
valid Pasadena driver's license or employee ID card.
Chronicled through the lens of
his own silent films, STONEFACE
recreates some of Buster Keaton’s most memorable gags live on stage, capturing
the legend of a bygone era and telling the tale of the redemption of one of
Hollywood’s greatest performers. Following a successful engagement at
Sacred Fools Theatre Company this past summer, STONEFACE was designated a Los Angeles Times
“Critics’ Choice” and French Stewart’s performance hailed as “… quite simply, a
revelation.” LA Weekly said “GO! … one of the best new works of
the city’s theatrical season.”
The cast of STONEFACE includes French Stewart, Jake Broder, Tegan Ashton
Cohan, Conor Duffy, Joe Fria, Scott Leggett, Guy Picot, Rena Strober and Pat
Towne with Daisy Eagan as “Mae.” STONEFACE
is directed by Jaime Robledo, with music by Ryan Johnson, choreography
by Natasha Norman, stunt choreography by Mike Mahaffey, and projection design
by Ben Rock & Anthony Backman. Writer Vanessa Claire
Stewart (formerly Vanessa Claire Smith) starred in and penned the multiple
award-winning Louis and Keely Live at the Sahara, which had a
record-breaking run at the Geffen Playhouse in 2009 after originating at Sacred
Fools Theatre Company.
