The five year-old Boston Court is a 99 seat theater that puts on plays, musical events and poetry readings. They also sponsor an annual New Play Festival, which is a great chance to catch the latest cutting edge play before it becomes a sold-out phenom or disappears back into the author's Mac Book. The Los Angeles Theater Alliance recently lauded the Boston Court with 17 Ovation Award nominations for theatrical excellence, more than any other theater. www.bostoncourt.com

Founded in 1917, the Pasadena Playhouse is rich in history and tradition, having premiered works by William Saroyan, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill. In 1937, they were the first theater in the country to have put on all the William Shakespeare plays. Recently emerged from bankruptcy, the Pasadena Playhouse strives to engage the entire community in the theatrical life, from actors and playwrights, to at-risk youth and school kids. Housed in a 668 seat Spanish Colonial Revival building, it's a true California landmark, a stunning venue for live theater that deserves our support.
