All are invited to celebrate the arts in the friendly community nestled within the foothills just between Glendale and Pasadena. In what has become a tradition every spring the community of Eagle Rock comes together on the first Saturday in May to celebrate the richness of art and community. Many area artists offer their fine art and quality crafts for sale. Start the day off with a pancake breakfast, shop for gifts or treasures for your home and wonder through the fine art show. Sponsored by the Eagle Rock Community Cultural Center.
Admission is free.
The Department of Theater is reconfiguring the intimate 420-seat Keck for the unusual environmental staging of the famed Broadway musical comedy. For the first time ever, most of the house seats will be turned around to face a special stage constructed at the rear of the house, allowing the actors to utilize the aisles, balconies and other parts of the theater. This musical thriller follows the career of barber Sweeney Todd, a victim of gross injustice, whose passion for revenge can only be satisfied by the destruction of his enemies. Todd forms an alliance with the proprietress of a meat pie shop who disposes of his victims by feeding them to the denizens of London's Fleet Street. A rollicking story of comedy, suspense, horror and pathos, Todd's throat-slitting vengeance is set off by the ironic beauty of Sondheim's superb score.
