Sierra Madre Playhouse is ready to get festive as it plans to unveil its very own mini- Walk of Fame on the pavement in front of the historic building. Five individuals will be memorialized for their participation at the Playhouse during their lives to further the Playhouse’s artistic mission. They’re your heroes, and while they’ve departed, they’ll be remembered always for their kindness, generosity and hard work.
Three of the stars are refurbished, and two of the stars are brand new. The individuals being remembered are: Charles Andrese, a Founder and Artistic Director; Stan Zalas, a Founder and Artistic Director; George Enyedi, a Visionary responsible for the purchase, renovation and refurbishment of the physical Playhouse itself, making SMP one of the very few local theatre companies to actually own its venue; Verna Chilton, actor and board member; and Barry Schwam, actor, musician, sound designer and board member.
There will be a live public ceremony unveiling the stars in front of the Playhouse on Sunday, April 18, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. PDT. Following remarks remembering our Playhouse heroes, cake and champagne will be served. Health and safety protocols (e.g., masks) will be observed. The event will also be livestreamed, for those preferring to attend the festivities at home.
