With support from the Ahmanson Foundation, the season will also include upgraded lighting and sound equipment to improve the audience experience.
The season begins in August with “Music from the Movies“, a special performance in collaboration with the Paul McDonald Big Band. This event will feature Lineage dancers and vocalists performing alongside a 17-piece band, with a program of well-known film music.
In September, Lineage will host its Annual Gala, an evening that includes food, drinks, and performances from a variety of artists. The event celebrates the creative work being done at Lineage and supports its ongoing programs.
October marks the return of the popular production of RENT. After a successful run in a previous season, the show is back by audience demand. The first 25 tickets sold for each performance will be available at a reduced price.
In November, Lineage returns to the historic Gamble House with “Broadway Gamble Ramble”, a site-specific performance that explores the history and impact of American musical theatre. The performance takes place throughout the house, with music and dance presented in different rooms.
In January, Lineage brings back “Ceiling in the Floor”, a performance that tells the story of musician Brandon Toh and his friendship with Lineage Artistic Director Hilary Thomas. The piece addresses the topic of suicide through a combination of music, dance, and conversation.
February marks the 20th anniversary of “Healing Blue”, a performance based on the real stories of women living with and after cancer. Told through movement and spoken word, the show continues to raise awareness and offer support through the arts.
March features performances by student dance teams from John Muir High School and Pasadena High School, both of which are supported through Lineage’s arts education programs.
The season closes in May and June with “Little Shop of Horrors”, a new take on the well-known musical. Lineage will add its own style through choreography and staging to bring a fresh perspective to the story.
Tickets for all events are available now. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit Lineage’s website.
