Gabrielle Pina’s Letters from Zora will return to Pasadena Playhouse May 10-18 (opening May 11), directed by Anita Dashiell-Sparks, with original music by Ron McCurdy and starring Vanessa Bell Calloway. Playwright Gabrielle Pina says, “Letters From Zora is an authentic multi-sensory experience of an extraordinary woman who defied the social conventions of the day and lived a life of her own creation. The artistic fusion of music, history, and literary prose illuminates the resilience of the human spirit as well as Ms. Hurston’s philosophy of life and literature in her own words.” Tickets: (626) 356-7529 or www.PasadenaPlayhouse.org

KICKSTARTER: Check out Sweet Nothings, an indie musical comedy by Phillip Hughes and Jennifer Daugherty that celebrates love, food, music and that moment you realize that you have to stop wasting time and follow your dreams. Jack is a chef who dreams of opening an all-desserts restaurant; Gwen is an actress afraid to put up her hilariously weird one-woman show. Flitting through life, these two try their very best to avoid failure. But a deflated souffle brings them together. And their lives will never be the same. Here's the link for their Kickstarter page where you can help them make it happen. http://kck.st/MJTRFd
