It's great news that the Pasadena Playhouse has reopened its doors, less than a year from the time that it filed Chapter 11. The first entry into the current season is unusual for this venue, a one-person show, written in 1977 by Dore Schary as a sequel to his 1958 popular hit Sunrise at Campabello. The Pasadena stage is too large for this play, but due to the present state of the economy and the playhouse's tight budget, FDR will have to suffice, and with octogenarian favorite Ed Asner as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, it becomes a wholeheartedly valuable and enjoyable experience.

In a a recent article in the LA Times, Mark Boehm discussed the re-opening of Pasadena Playhouse, in addition to its latest production, FDR, starring Ed Asner. Boehm says, 'Sheldon Epps, the Pasadena Playhouse's artistic director, is touting the 'very sexy story' that's unfolding as his theater returns Tuesday night with its first show since it closed Feb. 7, then reopened in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.'
