About Me

The Fremont Centre Theatre, a 78 seat house professional theater in South Pasadena, is in its 8th award winning season. It is our mission to discover and rediscover plays of value to produce in an artistic atmosphere that nurtures creativity, originality, and excellence. We have been honored by many organizations including the LA DRAMA CRITICS CIRCLE, THE VALLEY THEATRE LEAGUE, THE PASADENA ARTS COUNCIL, THE SOUTH PASADENA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE NAACP among many others.
FCT is housed in a former mortuary that was also run as a brothel during its off-hours. The building has since become a multi-use building, housing a restaurant, Bistro K (which is FANTASTIC) as well as various businesses such as an acupunturist, a massage therapist, and a chiropractor amongst others. About two years ago, the patio in the building's courtyard got a facelift and is now filled with plants and a rose arbor that is just perfect for a drink before or after a play or even a picnic lunch or dinner. The atmopshere here is truly welcoming and warm and it is our hope that you will come and enjoy a play as well as the patio in the near future!
