More wonderful news: the Pasadena Playhouse is closing after the last performance of “Camelot”. This is just wonderful news (not) on top of the car news of my previous post.
We’re season subscribers. That means we paid quite a bit in tickets (hmmm, about half a catalytic converter) back in June. We’ve only gotten tickets for the first show. According to the article, the new executive director “isn’t sure if the playhouse’s 8,000 subscribers will be reimbursed.” Lovely. Of course, if we are not fully reimbursed (less the cost for the first show), it is effectively a charitible donation… made in 2009. This means we need a donation letter so that we can include it as a donation in the tax returns due in April. Sigh. Not good at all… either for us, or for the larger Los Angeles theatre scene.
ETA: Sayeth the Playhouse in email: “At this time we are not sure how subscribers will be reimbursed for the tickets they have already purchased. All subscribers will be kept informed as more information becomes available. We do not know at this time if that money can be counted as a donation.”
