Channeling history
Offbeat characters come to life in Fremont Theatre’s ‘Inside Private Lives’
By Carl Kozlowski 09/04/2008
Theater can magically transport us into the lives of others, and starting Sunday the Fremont Centre Theatre in South Pasadena is taking that concept to a whole new level.
Its new show, “Inside Private Lives,” invites audiences to participate in an interactive experience with performers depicting some of the most colorful fringe figures in American pop culture history, as well as British royalty.
Enter the minds of such figures as Christine Jorgensen, the world’s first transgendered personality. Or walk in darkness with late cult leader David Koresh, who was killed by federal agents in a bloody showdown in Waco, Texas.
Add a chance to trade barbs with the colorfully callous former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, watch President Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy down a few beers and hear King Edward VIII rant about giving up the English throne to marry an American divorcee, and you’ve got a pretty colorful evening.
Dress up and come down to be part of the show at the Fremont Centre Theatre, 1000 Fremont Ave., South Pasadena. Tickets are $25; or $20 for students and seniors.
