 Sally Field, a Pasadena 
native, will talk about her 
new book “In Pieces” in 
conversation with Patt 
Morrison September 27. 
Field starred opposite Burt 
Reynolds in the 1977 film 
“Smokey and the Bandit.”

 In this intimate, haunting 
literary memoir Field, an 
American icon, tells her 
story for the first time, 
and in her own gorgeous 
words--about a challenging 
and lonely childhood, the 
craft that helped her find 
her voice, and a powerful 
emotional legacy that shaped 
her journey as a daughter 
and a mother.

 One of the most celebrated, 
beloved, and enduring actors 
of our time, Sally Field has 
an infectious charm that 
has captivated the nation 
for more than five decades, 
beginning with her first TV 
role at the age of seventeen. 
From Gidget’s sweet-faced 
“girl next door” to the 
dazzling complexity of Sybil 
to the Academy Award-
worthy ferocity and depth of 
Norma Rae and Mary Todd 
Lincoln, Field has stunned 
audiences time and time 
again with her artistic range 
and emotional acuity. Yet 
there is one character who 
always remained hidden: 
the shy and anxious little girl 
within. 

 With raw honesty and the 
fresh, pitch-perfect prose of 
a natural-born writer, and 
with all the humility and 
authenticity her fans have 
come to expect, Field brings 
readers behind-the-scenes 
for not only the highs and 
lows of her star-studded 
early career in Hollywood, 
but deep into the truth of 
her lifelong relationships--
including her complicated 
love for her own mother. 
Powerful and unforgettable, 
In Pieces is an inspiring and 
important account of life as 
a woman in the second half 
of the twentieth century. 

 Reynolds passed away 
September 6 at the age of 82.

 Tickets are $34 and include 
a copy of the book. Be 
informed at all tickets for this 
event includes one seat and 
(1) signed copy of In Pieces, 
to be picked up at the event at 
check-in. Seating is general 
admission. Additional 
copies will be available 
for purchase at the event. 
If there are any questions 
please call Vroman’s at (626) 
449-5320 or contact us.

 This event will take place at 
the Pasadena Presbyterian 
Church located at 585 E. 
Colorado Blvd, Pasadena

 A Noise Within (ANW), the 
acclaimed classical repertory 
theatre, presents Tom Stoppard’s 
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern 
Are Dead, the Tony Award-
winning play that first brought 
Stoppard to the attention of 
an international audience – a 
position he has held in the half 
century since its premiere in 
1967. ANW Producing Artistic 
Director Geoff Elliott directs. 
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern 
Are Dead performs from 
October 7 to November 18.

 Hamlet is turned topsy 
turvy in this brilliant comedy 
that thrusts Shakespeare’s 
two minor characters to the 
frontlines with no rules except 
one: they are destined to die. 
Trapped in a universe where 
the flip of a coin always comes 
up heads and pirates can pop-
up anytime, Rosencrantz and 
Guildenstern engage in a battle 
of wits to try to escape their fate 
and make sense of a senseless 
world.

 This is not the first time 
that Stoppard’s sharp wit and 
comedic genius has come to A 
Noise Within’s stage. Arcadia 
received an LA Times Critic’s 
Choice as well as widespread 
critical and audience acclaim 
in ANW’s 25th anniversary 
season. Geoff Elliott is thrilled 
to be directing another one of 
Stoppard’s works. Elliott says, 
“I fell in love with Stoppard 
the first time I read Arcadia. I 
could not put it down. It was 
the same with Rosencrantz and 
Guildenstern Are Dead.”

 Tickets for Rosencrantz 
and Guildenstern Are Dead, 
starting at $25, are available 
online at: anoisewithin.
org and by phone by calling 
626-356-3121. Symposium, 
Conversations, Pay What You 
Can

 The run of Rosencrantz 
and Guildenstern Are Dead 
includes a symposium from 
a noted scholar at 6:45pm on 
October 10, and a post-show 
conversation on October 21, 
October 26, and November 9. 
Pay What You Can nights are 
October 10, at 7:30 pm and 
October 11, at 7:30pm.

Don Carlo – Monday, Sept.

Carlo, one of Giuseppe

based on actual historical 
figures. Don Carlo, son 
of King Philip II of Spain, 
loses Elizabeth de Valois, 
his fiancée, to his father 
in an arranged marriage 
to end a war between 
Spain and France. The 
broken-hearted Don Carlo 
realigns his sympathies and 
turns against the Spanish 
Inquisition, resulting 
in Philip II ordering his 
rebellious son to be thrown 
in prison with the possibility 
of the death penalty. Verdi’s

choruses and an endless flow 
of rapturous arias and duets

Chamber Recognizes 
Member Companies

 At an event at Brookside 
Golf Club in late August, 
the Pasadena Chamber of 
Commerce recognized four of 
their member companies that 
have hosted student interns 
each year of the Chamber’s 
partnership with Pasadena 
Unified School District. The 
Law Offices of Donald P. 
Schweitzer, Pasadena Police 
Department, Pasadena Ronald 
McDonald House and Vroman’s 
Bookstore have each hosted 
at least one intern since the 
Chamber began its Workforce 
Development initiative in the 
local public schools.

 Over the past summer, the 
Chamber was responsible 
for placing, supervising and 
evaluating 140 summer interns. 
The effort is a partnership 
through the Pasadena Unified 
School District’s College and 
Careers office and the career 
academies at Blair, Muir and 
Pasadena High Schools. The 
Chamber initiative began in 
2015.

 The intern celebration was 
hosted by Pasadena Unified 
School District, the Pasadena 
Chamber and Armory Center 
for the Arts. Invited to attend 
were student interns and their 
families, host companies and 
local community and business 
leaders.

 At the celebration, 
representatives of The 
Law Offices of Donald P. 
Schweitzer, Pasadena Ronald 
McDonald House, Vroman’s 
Bookstore and the Pasadena 
Police Department were 
each presented with a plaque 
thanking them for their support 
of the internship program.

 Sgt. Glenn Thompson of the 
Pasadena Police mentioned 
at the event that several of 
their interns hosted by the 
department over the years 
had joined the PPD Explorer’s 
Program and were interested 
in pursuing careers in law 
enforcement. One had recently 
joined the military with the 
intent of completing his service 
and then returning to do police 
work in our local community. 
This year’s intern, Brandon 
Lopez, gained experience 
in forensics, property, 
investigations and more.

 Ashlee Null and Dolores 
Bauer of Vroman’s each talked 
about how mature and helpful 
the intern they hosted was, and 
how helpful she was in every 
task she was assigned. Megan 
Willerford helped out with 
marketing, sales, inventory and 
even worked Vroman’s author 
events.

 All host companies in 
attendance received a 
certificate of thanks from the 
Pasadena Chamber. Student 
interns were presented with 
a Chamber certificate of 
completion, commendations 
from Assembly Member Chris 
Holden and State Senator 
Anthony Portantino as well as 
a check for $250.

 Host companies that were 
able donated the $250 toward 
their student’s stipend to 
the Pasadena Chamber of 
Commerce Foundation, 
which turned the funds over 
to Pasadena Educational 
Foundation which issued the 
checks.

 In addition to their intern 
hours, students had to compete 
a class over the summer related 
to their workplace experience. 
Throughout the school year, 
the Pasadena Chamber enables 
Pasadena Unified students to 
hear guest speakers, provide 
work site tours, professional 
mentoring, experience job 
shadowing opportunities and 
intern with a local company.

 Anyone interested in 
supporting the Chamber’s 
workforce development efforts 
by hosting an intern can contact 
Amy at amy@pasadena-
chamber.org. Anyone want to 
provide financial support can 
make a tax-deductible donation 
through the Pasadena Chamber 
of Commerce Foundation at: 
pasadenayouthworks.org.
