October 17, 2005|Don Shirley

Pasadena Playhouse has confirmed that it will present "Sister Act," a stage musical version of the 1992 movie, to be directed by former Disney executive Peter Schneider, from Nov. 3 to 26, 2006. The score is by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, with a book by Cheri and Bill Steinkellner.

It will cap a 2006 season that will begin with "Diva" (Jan. 20 to Feb. 19), a behind-the-scenes look at a temperamental sitcom star written by former "Cybill" executive producer Howard Michael Gould. La Jolla Playhouse first presented "Diva" immediately after Sept. 11, 2001.

Pasadena play -- An article in Monday's Calendar section about the Pasadena Playhouse's 2006 season stated that it would present the play "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Destination." In fact, the title is "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure."

Pasadena will collaborate with L.A.'s Cornerstone Theater in Alison Carey's adaptation of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" to contemporary Southern California; directed by outgoing Cornerstone artistic director Bill Rauch, it's scheduled for March 17 to April 16. Next up is Steven Dietz's new play "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Destination" (May 9 to June 11), a co-production with Arizona Theatre Company.

Summer will bring revivals of a couple of two-character musicals about marriage: "I Do! I Do!" by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones and "The Last Five Years" by Jason Robert Brown, performed in repertory (July 7 to Aug. 6). A to-be-announced show will fill a September slot.
