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.
