You may have noticed that the 
stars in front of the Sierra Madre 
Playhouse have gone missing and 
that the pavement was replaced. 
It wasn’t because the three people 
honored by those stars have fallen 
from grace, not at all. On Sun-
day, a celebration will be held in 
front of SMP to unveil those now-
refurbished stars along with two 
new additional stars. 
“We have long wanted to honor 
the late George Enyedi for his 
vision and stewardship of the 
Playhouse. It was because of Mr. 
Enyedi that we now own our 
building, we are so lucky that he 
set us on that course,” said Pro-
ducing Artistic Director Christian 
Lebano. “Then when we recentlylost our dear friend and long-time 
Playhouse-family member, BarrySchwam, we thought it fitting that 
he have a star, as well.” 
Those two new stars join the origi-
nal three placed to honor Founder 
and Artistic Director Stan Zalas,
Founder and Artistic Director 
Charles Andrese, and Actress and 
Board member Verna Chilton. 
Each of the five stars are dedicated 
to individuals who made a pro-
found impact on the early years of 
the Playhouse and without whom we would not have the Playhouse in 
our city. 
“Both of the stars were underwritten by friends of each of the men. We are 
so fortunate to have such support in the community,” said Board President 
David Gordon. 
I asked Lydia Bangtson, Barry Schwam’s widow, what it meant to her to 
see him memorialized with a star. “To me, it means that his work was re-
spected and important, not only to the theater but also to the community,” 
she said. “It would have meant so much to him to have this star, and to 
have the love and respect of his colleagues and friends at the theater. He 
cared so much about the Playhouse.” 
Board Member Ward Calaway will speak about George Enyedi and Bar-
bara Schofield will share stories about Barry Schwam. 
I asked Christian Lebano about this past year and what the future holds 
for SMP. “2020 was a devastating year, all around. So many families facing 
personal losses. Just devastating. The pandemic closures have been veryhard on all arts organizations – ours included. But we’ve been lucky. Trulyblessed with so many friends of the Playhouse who supported us when 
we needed them. We had 227 first-time 
donors send us money this year! Be-
cause of that support we were able to get 
through and plan for our reopening.” 
A large poster in front of the theater an-
nounces “You’re a Good Man, Charlie 
Brown,” I asked Christian about it. “Oh 
boy, are we excited to get back to produc-
ing. We are thrilled that we were able to 
work with the City to mount the produc-
tion in Memorial Park. The show pre-
views on Friday, July 30 and will run through August. We’ll follow all the 
COVID protocols, of course, but it will be such a wonderful way to bring 
the City back together after these months of isolation. And the show is 
such fun – a great way for the entire family to celebrate being able to at-
tend theater again. If it goes as well as I hope, we’d like to make this an 
annual event.” 
And when will we be able to see shows inside? “We plan to announce the 
rest of our season in early May. I can tell you that we hope to reopen with 
a show in mid-September and follow with a holiday production in De-
cember. It’s all looking good right now, but we’ll have to see how things go 
with the lifting of restrictions. I can tell youknow that audiences are going 
to be excited to see some of the upgrades we’ve managed during this year. 
We’ll be ready for our friends - and to celebrate!” 
The live public ceremony unveiling the stars in front of the Playhouse 
will be held this Sunday, April 18, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. PDT. Following re-
marks remembering our Playhouse heroes, cake and champagne will be 
served. Health and safety protocols (e.g., masks) will be observed. The 
event will also be livestreamed, for those preferring to attend the festivi-
ties at home.
