Bankrupt state theatre, Part 2

A few quick questions about the closing of the Pasadena Playhouse:

  1. Can we save it somehow?
  2. Would Dustin Hoffman write a check? (Famous alum.)
  3. Would Gene Hackman write a check?  (Famous alum.)
  4. Would Carol Burnett write a check? (Famous alum.)
  5. Might this qualify for a federal bailout?
  6. If the answer to #5, above, is no — why the fuck not? Why is the Pasadena Playhouse — given its importance — not “too big to fail”?
