Final Week of The Little Foxes
It's your last chance to see the Pasadena Playhouse's production of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes. Sunday, June 29, at 7:00 p.m. will be the final performance. In The Little Foxes,
Hellman masterfully crafts a tale of family politics and corporate
greed that is at once dizzyingly deceptive while being devilishly fun.
The Hubbards can only be described as ravenous - a family with an
uncanny ability to manipulate each other in ways that rival the
mega-corporations of today.
Benefits, fundraisers, parties, tours, special events and more.

Drama of the Gifted Child
Referring
to the title of a book by psychoanalyst Alice Miller which examines the
loss of self that occurs in childhood, this exhibition looks at MFA
programs as a point of reference to allegorize the relationship to the
child in terms of a career in the arts.

Discovering History in Taste, Tales and Tidbits
On Friday afternoons through November 20th, visitors to the Pasadena Museum of History’s landmark new exhibition, Family Stories: Sharing a Community’s Legacy,

part history-in-the-making, and part self-help. Add a
delicious ethnic meal at one of Pasadena ’s famed eateries and
learning local history becomes an unforgettable adventure. This
Friday is the Chinese-American Museum Exhibition Tour with luncheon at
