<p>For seventy-eight years the Sierra Madre Playhouse has been entertaining people from all over the San Gabriel Valley. In 1979 a group of actors from Arcadia moved in and brought it to its current incarnation: a nonprofit, non-Equity theatre that puts on a wide array of plays and musicals nine times per year.</p> <p>In addition to staging classics from the likes of Neil Simon and Arthur Miller, the theatre focuses on its next generation of thespians; throughout the year, acting classes are taught by local working actors. The Playhouse welcomes private events and large parties.</p>
