"American Pie 2"

The Pasadena Playhouse is briefly seen in the J.B. Rogers film "American Pie 2" (Universal, 2001). The cast includes Jason Biggs, Sean William Scott, Shannon Elizabeth, Mena Suvari, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne and Eugene Levy.

Mike Hume has the report: "Here’s all that we see of the Pasadena Playhouse: a fleeting glimpse of the courtyard! Heather (Mena Suvari), supposedly in Spain, receives a phone call from her boyfriend Oz (Chris Klein). She answers the call on a balcony above a plaza and then goes indoors, seemingly to her apartment, to take the rest of the call. Blink and you miss it!"

Thanks to Mike for the research and the screenshot. We also get a quick shot of the Pasadena City Hall for another image of the architecture in Spain. 

For a great tour of the Playhouse, a theatre that opened in 1925, visit Mike's Pasadena Playhouse page on his Historic Theatre Photography website.
