STAGE

To emphasize the ‘30s period look of its final production of 1987--”Room Service”--the Pasadena Playhouse will return to its ‘30s roots: The theater’s lobby will be restyled into a hotel lobby and the ushers (from the community organization Friends of the Playhouse) will be costumed as bellhops. (Please don’t tip them, though.) The play, written by John Murray and Allen Boretz and directed by Stephen Rothman, will also be performed on the theater’s original proscenium stage instead of the usual thrust stage. Even the Hilton is getting into the “Room Service” act, with the Pasadena Hilton opening up its Presidential Suite for the opening night party.
