SIERRA MADRE
PLAYHOUSE
ANNOUNCES
2014-2015
SEASON
Sierra Madre Playhouse’s 2014-15 season
is a wonderful mix of new plays and old
favorites, selected by incoming Artistic
Director Christian Lebano to serve the
Playhouse’s new mission of celebrating
the American Experience. “Every play
in the season was written by American
playwrights,” says Lebano, “we’re presenting three Los Angeles premieres, including two plays
written by women, and two musicals, alongside popular favorites. We want to offer something
for everyone in the community – so that everyone in Sierra Madre and the surrounding cities
can claim the Playhouse as their own.” In an effort to ensure top-notch talent and high quality
theater throughout the season, the directors have already been selected, in addition to many of the
designers. “I’ve gotten really talented artists to sign on with us. Audiences are in for a wonderful
ride,” adds Lebano.
