In this episode, we explore the rich history and architectural grandeur of America's oldest operating theatre - the Pasadena Playhouse - with its artistic director, Danny Feldman. From his early dreams of being a pianist and a thrilling stint with the Pussycat Dolls, to his current role as a successful theatre producer, Danny offers a deep dive into his journey and the Playhouse's transformative evolution into a beacon of inclusivity. He gives us a backstage view of the revival of Little Shop of Horrors and discusses the Playhouse's 2023 Regional Theatre Tony Award. We also delve into the Playhouse's innovative youth programs, including a cutting-edge production of Into the Woods that merges the lines between high school and professional theatre, and explore the impact of the pandemic on youth as well as theatre's potential as a therapeutic channel.
