What Pasadena Playhouse Alumni & Associates does
Mission
The purpose of our association is to 1) hold together people who have been associated with the pasadena playhouse state theatre, especially its college of theatre arts, 2) encourage among its members an interest in theater education, 3) stimulate creativity in all theater arts, and 4) provide financial and service support to the pasadena playhouse. The primary financial support for theater education is the award of annual scholarships to needy and talented theater students. In addition, we 1) maintain archives of the pasadena playhouse and their library of theater arts books and other material for educational purposes, 2) provide volunteers to assist in tours of the playhouse for public groups and for special performances for student audiences, 3) mail quarterly newsletters on both alumni and playhouse activities, 4) maintain a website that also provides information on alumni and the playhouse, and 5) provide periodic donations for playhouse operations.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Scholarships were awarded to five college students that allowed these young people with limited financial resources to gain training and experience in all areas of professional theater. Recipient selections are made annually based on detailed applications that are reviewed by a subcommittee of our board members. In 2016, $5,000 scholarships were made to students at american musical & dramatic academy, arizona state university, california state university fullerton, university of california, los angeles, and cornish college of the arts. The scholarship fund was established several years ago with an endowment from the henry sumid estate. Scholarship funds are sent directly to the schools in order to ensure that the monies are used to pay for school expenses.
