Excellent performance. I went on sunday for the 7pm show. Our seats were decent, we were very close to the stage about 5 rows back, but our seats were 3 & 4 so were on the far right. Can't really complain though, the price was a good deal; $25. The cast was wonderful, good acting. Remakes tend to steer from the original but this show was a great update on the original story. We also enjoyed the fact that the director was able to incorporate some humor into the 2 hour show. Definitely worth checking out.Written on Jun 02 2008

It was a twist on the play, but I liked it. Some of the actors were not as strong as I thought they should have been in their performances, but it was still very well done.Written on Jun 09 2008

I thought that there were some excellent performances. My seat was dead center in the third row of the balcony. From there I could see all the stage action. I was very impressed by the changing stage for each of the six scenes. Definitely worthwhile seeing. However, last night was the last performance.Written on Jun 09 2008

Description
Once in a great while a dramatic theatrical event takes place that demands national attention. Such is the case with Pasadena Playhouse's groundbreaking revisionist production of John Steinbeck's beloved tale Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck's powerful portrait of two men's quest for the American dream is given an astounding and provocative make-over by acclaimed director Paul Lazarus.
In 1942, several years before Steinbeck's original setting for Of Mice and Men, a government sponsored program was put into place that would forever change the face of immigration in this country. It was called the Bracero Program and opened the door to thousands of Mexican immigrants who crossed the border in pursuit of dreams for a better life for their families. Not only did this program quite literally fuel the expanding American economy but it also created a wave of immigration that continues to this day. This daring and profound setting for Of Mice and Men amplifies Steinbeck's themes of loneliness and longing and provides a fresh experience for Playhouse audiences.
The cast will include Joshua Bitton (Curley), Curtis C. (Crooks), Sol Castillo (Whit), Josh Clark (Boss), Madison Dunaway (Mae), Al Espinosa (Lennie), Thomas Kopache (Candy), Alex Mendoza (Slim), Gino Montesinos (Carlson), and David Noroña (George).
The creative team will include D. Martyn Bookwalter (scenic design), Rita Salazar-Ashford (costume design), Lonnie Rafael Alcaraz (lighting design), and Bruno Louchouarn (original music and sound design).
