Movies have returned to the Sierra Madre Playhouse!

The Sierra Madre Playhouse was once the Wistaria Theater, showing the best Hollywood had to offer. Almost a century later, the “Gem of the Foothills” is presenting the greatest films ever made.

Now, in the spirit of our mission to connect people in our diverse communities to one another, join us as we dig deeper with films that highlight unique perspectives on America and the growth of the arts. These films are an essential part of further contextualizing the productions staged at the Playhouse.

To complement our production of King of the Yees, we present evenings of films. See what we have coming up! This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit www.calhum.org.
