This is a small theater but have never been disappointed in anything I've seen. I hope it continues to have great shows. I would recommend it to anyone.

I am so proud of PLT doing a play last night. You did a great job. Trying your best to do a show with all the COVID19 guidlines. The actors did a great job as well. Felt good to sit in an audience and watch a play.

Anything that supports the arts and creative self-expression is a winner in my humble estimation.
Exposing children to the magical world of theater is to be commended and this place rocks! Please support this cool theater!

What a pleasant venue. A little gem for Pasadena. It is small so you feel like the performance is just for you. Much respect to the locals who run the place with many volunteers. The shows are entertaining. Auditions are open to public. Maybe I should try out...joking!
