Unbound Productions Presents HISTORY LIT in Conjunction With the Pasadena Museum of History, 5/11-20

Unbound Productions Co-Artistic Directors Jonathan Josephson, Paul Millet, and Jeff G. Rack have announced a new project in the same vein of the popular Wicked Lit theatre series – HISTORY LIT (May 11-20, 2012).

Whereas Wicked Lit focused on the creation and production of new works of theatre inspired by classic horror stories, HISTORY LIT will present stage adaptations of literature that reflect history in creative ways.

"The Mission for History Lit is intentionally open-ended," said Rack. "We want to be able to reinvent this project each year with a new theme that will excite us as writers and producers and also stay fresh for our audiences."

For 2012, HISTORY LIT will be produced in conjunction with Pasadena Museum of History and feature a series of theatrical adaptations based on the works by some of the greatest women writers of the 19th and 20th centuries – Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Katherine Mansfield. These short plays will be presented throughout the Museum complex, including the Estate Gardens, Curtin House and inside historic Fenyes Mansion, which is opening briefly to the public for the first time since beginning a series of extensive repairs and upgrades in 2010.

History Lit at the Pasadena Museum of History (470 W Walnut Street,
Pasadena, CA 91103 )- May 11-20. Get tickets at HistoryLit.org.
