FALL BENEFIT PERFORMANCE
FRI, OCT 17
Check in to the Costa Verde Hotel—for one unforgettable day only.
Join us for a special benefit performance of The Night of the Iguana, where the vibe is more shabby than chic and the drama simmers in the tropical heat. Delight in a pre-show reception with food and cocktails, enjoy premium seating at our highly anticipated fall production, sip refreshing margaritas during intermission, savor sweets and stay, if you’d like, for our exclusive post-show Q&A with the actors.
This isn’t your typical benefit—it’s a fun-draiser, resort chic style. Embrace your inner traveler in breezy linens or bold prints, and step into a Tennessee Williams world where every character is more eccentric than the last and every moment is infused with theatrical magic.
Proceeds from the evening will support Boston Court Pasadena’s bold artistic programming, help nurture the next generation of artists, and deepen our impact in Pasadena and beyond—continuing a legacy more than two decades strong.

ABOUT THE PLAY
by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Jessica Kubzansky
Tennessee Williams’s rarely staged The Night of the Iguana tells the story of the Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon, a defrocked minister now conducting guided tours through Mexico on the verge of a nervous breakdown. As he struggles with his connection to God and yearns to escape his own tortured existence, he is surrounded by two equally imperfect women, one of whom offers him sensuality, the other spirituality as a means of easing his tormented soul. Taking place over the course of one turbulent night at the Costa Verde hotel on the verge of a world war, the play asks what constitutes escape, what bargains are we willing to make with ourselves, and how much we yearn for real human connection – especially when we’re at the end of our rope.
