or call toll-free (866) 811-4111 "Von Bach attempts to point out the hilarious predictability and futility of these constant Hollywood horror revamps, and it succeeds beautifully in doing so. I've seen many shows try to incorporate film projections or image slides during a show, but I've never seen the two concepts integrated as well as this." - Melissa Gordon, Playwriting in the City |
 2-9pm during Arts Crawl One to Grow On A Community Wishes for the Future Mission Street/Fremont Ave.
In conjunction with South Pasadena's 125th birthday celebration,

This interactive public art installation, designed by Marie Switzer Miller, will be created in real time by passersby and event goers. The colorful display of bamboo poles and cloth swatches with individual hand-lettered hopes, dreams and wishes will adorn the fence at the corner of Mission Street and Fremont Ave. The artwork will represent what the city might become as envisioned by its citizens.

History meets Art at the South Pasadena Arts Crawl
MARCH 2, 2013, 5 - 9 P.M.
It'll be a "neighborhood night-on-the town" to celebrate South Pasadenaʼs 125th Birthday. The Chamber of Commerce and South Pasadena Preservation Foundation are presenting an evening celebrating the centennial-and-a-quarter with both a look back in time and a wish for the future. The Arts Crawl is free, open to the public and takes place in the historic business district in South Pasadena.
The Camp Carleton Cornet Band, a Civil War reenactment band, will kick the evening off by marching from Gus's Barbeque on Fair Oaks Ave to the Iron Works Museum next to the Gold Line Station on Mission Street.
There, a Time Capsule Dedication will occur, followed by a theatrical historic reenactment, a costume contest and the pickin' and fiddlin' of a contra dance band and dancers. The Iron Works Museum will be open, and Sew Cranky will be on hand with its antique, hand-cranked sewing machines.
New artwork by a variety of artists presented by South Pasadena Mercantile Co., Fremont Gallery, Laurie Hendricks Gallery, SOPA Studios, Tah Gallery, and SPACE.
Inside some of the alternative venues, such as Lillyʼs, visitors will find the timely "The Art of the Foreclosure," and inside Duncan Taylor, in addition to seeing Spent Whiskey Cask Artisan Furniture, there will be a sale on Scottish Artist Ian Grayʼs large prints.
The South Pasadena Music Center hosts a full evening of live music including its Jazz Lab Band and String Chamber Ensemble, the indie rock group Leave it Alone, and the introduction of its new Beatles Project.
Other live performances can be found at Buster's Coffee, SOPA Studios, and the newest caf�, La Monarca, where a group of musicians performing Son Jarocho, a Mexican folk style music, will play. More than thirty businesses will be present open houses, sales, giveaways to celebrate the arts and the City of South Pasadena's history.
Arts Crawl is organized by the South Pasadena Chamber of Commerce to provide a showcase for artists and musicians and to highlight the city's unique business district. All attractions are within a few blocks so patrons can easily park and walk to each spot. South Pasadena is easily reached via the Metro Gold Line at Mission Station. A wide variety of restaurants are open, and food trucks including Dosatruck, Paradise Cookies, Rolling Burger Barns and others will be on the streets.
