Full disclosure alert: I've been volunteering with this terrific troupe since the early days, at the old Masonic building in Glendale. Jeff and Julia and ANW are celebrating 25 years of providing the highest quality theatrical nourishment to a hungry community. A theatre that celebrates the classics with fresh, innovative staging and culturally diverse, high energy casts. Try and pick a performance with the educational Q&A after. This newer location is a beautifully repurposed 1958 Edward Durell Stone factory, in now-bustling East Pasadena.The state-of-the-art theatre, almost in the round, doesn't have a bad seat, with great sight lines and crisp sound. Kudos to Pasadena for making all cultural arts almost a city utility, like light and water. A shout-out to the great house manager Melody Moore, and actress, Jill Hill, who introduced me to the ANW magic. Lots of FREE parking in the Gold Line transit structure, behind ANW.
