Al Pacino & Judith Light to Lead God Looked Away at the Pasadena Playhouse

Next stop New York? Tony winners Al Pacino and Judith Light will headline God Looked Away at the Pasadena Playhouse. The previously reported project, directed by Robert Allan Ackerman, is scheduled to play a limited engagement February 8, 2017 through March 19.

Dotson Rader's stage adaptation of his 1985 book is a glimpse into a turbulent period in the life and career of one of America’s most mysterious, iconic artists: playwright-screenwriter-novelist Tennessee Williams.

Pacino won Tony Awards for The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel and Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?, and received an additional nomination for The Merchant of Venice. His other Broadway credits include Glengarry Glen Ross, China Doll, Hughie, Chinese Coffee, American Buffalo and King Richard III. His many film credits include The Godfather trilogy, Scent of a Woman, Heat, Serpico, Scarface, Angels in America, Insomnia, Any Given Sunday, The Insider and Donnie Brasco.

Recently seen on Broadway in Thérèse Raquin and off-Broadway in All the Ways to Say I Love You, Light won Tonys for her performances in Other Desert Cities and The Assembled Parties; she is also a two-time Emmy winner for One Life to Live. Light has received Golden Globe, Emmy and Critics' Choice Television Award nominations for her work on Transparent.

The development production will also star Takuma Anzai, Kevin Bailey, Garrett Clayton, Andrew Dits, Alexa Hamilton, Eddy Rioseco and Miles Gaston Villanueva.
