We're having a party!

Friends and partners:

We have exciting news! In light of our successful collaborations, community, and education endeavors, Arroyo Repertory Theatre has outgrown the facility located on the campus of St. James United Methodist Church. We have been housed at this location since 2000 and have greatly enjoyed the past 24 years of our residency here. In the upcoming months, ART will be moving to a location that supports our growth.

We are thrilled to invite you to a celebration of our time here in North East Pasadena, as we look forward to the expansion of our arts and education programming. Though it is sad to say good-bye to St. James, this move will open doors for new and experimental opportunities as well as increased community outreach & education.

Celebrate with us on Saturday, August 24th at 7pm for community and charcuterie. We appreciate our community support since our company’s inception forty years ago, and we invite you along in our next steps forward.

Please RSVP to arroyoreptheatre@gmail.com so we can provide for small bites and refreshments. Summer attire is welcome. We will supply the music and air conditioning.

We look forward to celebrating with you on August 24th at 2033 E Washington Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91104!

We thank the members of St. James United Methodist Church for being wonderful hosts and for their amazing support throughout the years.

If All the Sky Were Paper

Bestselling author Andrew Carroll embarked on a literary journey in search of wartime correspondences after discovering a profoundly moving letter written by a distant cousin detailing service as a pilot in the Second World War. The echo of this letter led Carrol on a path of discovery trailing not just all fifty states, but over thirty countries and two active warzones where he cataloged testimonies of troops, medics, nurses, chaplains, family members on the homefront, and civilians caught in the crossfire of combat. These voices wove together into a tapestry of the human experience he aptly describes as “the World’s Greatest Undiscovered Literature.”

His humanistic odyssey of our experiences in war are now presented on the stage and work to capture those facets of human emotion too often lost in the wake of tragedy and strife. Previously performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Andrew Carroll’s newly revised and expanded version of If All the Sky Were Paper is a play that is both pertinent and timeless.
