Sierra Madre Playhouse

Sierra Madre Playhouse presents the highly anticipated North American premiere of One Million Words – Rilke, a hit solo show inspired by the groundbreaking work of poet Rainer Maria Rilke created by and starring Ivo Müller, with six performances April 24, 25, 26 and May 1, 2, 3, 2026. Müller portrays both an actor from the present and a poet from the past who connect, exploring creativity, belonging, and what it means to stay grounded in a fast-moving world. Originally developed in Brazil, the show arrives in California during the centennial of Rilke’s passing (1875-1926), before heading to its UK premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Directed by Arieta Corrêa, with Darrell Larson co-directing the English-language version, One Million Words - Rilke, tells the story of a writer who, for nearly a year, struggles to create poetry and can only express himself through letters. An actor uses these letters to navigate his own challenges in a place where even his name feels foreign, shaking the foundations of his identity. Together, the poet and the actor explore themes of love, the creative process, and a sense of not belonging, highlighting the importance of being grounded in the present moment, topics that resonate deeply in today's world.
“As we grapple with wars, violence, and the devastating impact of human suffering, Rilke’s words serve as an antidote to the chaos,” states Müller. “His ability to articulate the depths of human emotion provides a much-needed refuge amid the challenges of modern life. This show illuminates the human experience, reminding us of our shared vulnerabilities, even as we navigate a landscape that feels increasingly divided.”
Theatre Beyond Broadway proclaims, One Million Words – Rilke is “a masterful meditation on art, life, and the yearning for quiet in a chaotic world.”
An English-language version of the production was initially workshopped at New York City’s Torn Page in 2025. LA’s Odyssey Theatre presents a second workshop of the play on its works-in-progress series, Thresholds of Invention, on March 29, 2026, just prior to its North American premiere at Sierra Madre Playhouse.
Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who wrote in German, is widely regarded as a master of verse, helping to create a new form of lyrical poetry, short poems reflecting personal feelings and emotions. According to the Poetry Foundation, Rilke “was unique in his efforts to expand the realm of poetry through new uses of syntax and imagery and in an aesthetic philosophy that rejected religious precepts and strove to reconcile beauty and suffering, life and death.” The literary website The Marginalian notes, “Long before modern psychologists extolled the creative benefits of melancholy, Rilke explored the value of sadness as a clarifying force for our own interior lives.”
Ivo Müller is a stage and screen actor whose work spans Europe, the US, and his native Brazil. His stage credits include a production of Twelve Angry Men with leading Brazilian theatre company Grupo Tapa, in addition to his long-running hit solo performance based on the writings of Rainer Maria Rilke. Müller’s cinematic work includes Tabu, the multi-award-winning Portuguese film directed by Miguel Gomes, which received the Critics’ Best Picture Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2012. Müller has worked with major studios such as HBO, Sony, and Globo TV. His recent credits include Hebe: The Brazilian Star (2019), in which he portrayed an AIDS-stricken hairdresser in the biopic about a celebrated Brazilian television host, and Night Stage, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025. Alongside his acting career, Müller also served as a teacher and acting coach on the award-winning documentary film Cine Marrocos (2019), collaborating with homeless people and refugees living in an abandoned movie theatre in São Paulo. Other stage credits include Stitching by Anthony Neilson, Huis Clos (No Exit) by Jean-Paul Sartre, The Widows by Arthur Azevedo, Camaraderie by August Strindberg, Bitter Sicilian by Luigi Pirandello, and Hecuba by Euripides.

Master storyteller Carl Weintraub, hailed for “his high-energy physicality and his gift for including the audience” (Los Angeles Times), takes the stage at Sierra Madre Playhouse with his family-friendly solo show “Breadcrumbs Along the Trail” on Saturday, April 25, 2026, 11:00 AM.
The storytelling performance includes a collection of folk tales, fables and stories that nourish and enchant, with Weintraub bringing each character to life with humor, voice and movement. Stories include ”The Robin and the Crow,” a Russian tale about the paths we choose; Weintraub’s version of “Hansel and Gretel,” which melds various versions of the story into a compelling coming of age parable; and “The Ballad of the Simple Man,” a Ukrainian story for which a young audience member will be selected to play the title role.
Stories, like breadcrumbs, offer wisdom and nourishment to receive and share along the trail of life. They help us learn, grow, and explore the mysteries around us. The tales in “Breadcrumbs Along the Trail” guide audiences along paths forged by others, offering inspiration, insight, and kernels of knowledge while encouraging reflection on choices, consequences, and the shared human experience.
With his trademark warmth, theatrical skill, and deep respect for the oral tradition, Weintraub weaves an experience that entertains, enlightens, and invites reflection.
Weintraub has been creating and performing theatre for young audiences for more than four decades. The founder and artistic director of the We Tell Stories theatre for young audience company, he was the first recipient of the Los Angeles PASA Award for life achievement in professional artistry in schools. He has performed at such theatres as The Old Globe in San Diego and the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and in numerous movies and prime-time television roles.

Award-winning Bob Gossom film closes National Poetry Month and opens Mental Health Awareness Month
Poet and playwright Bob Gossom brings back his acclaimed film Versified! The Human Equation for a limited encore streaming, blending contemporary poetry, motion, music, and storytelling to close National Poetry Month.
The film streams from 3 p.m. PT April 30 to 9 p.m. PT May 3 at bobgossom.com/film-viewing.
Adapted from Gossom’s acclaimed poetry collection The Human Equation, now in its expanded third edition, the production explores vulnerability, humor, contradiction and the shared experiences that connect people across generations and backgrounds.
First staged in Los Angeles, Versified! The Human Equation evolved from a live ensemble production, praised by reviewer Javier Ronceros for its performers who embody “dozens of characters in a dance of the human condition.”
This encore not only marks the shift from National Poetry Month to Mental Health Awareness Month, but also highlights poetry’s ongoing power for reflection and emotional wellness.
“Poetry has always been a place where people can process what they’re going through, often before they have language for it,” Gossom said. “It creates space to reflect and begin to heal.”
Writer, actor and director Levy Lee Simon praised Gossom’s distinctive voice and range.
“His vision and imagery leap from the page into the mind,” Simon said. “Bob has his own style. Versatility is his secret weapon.”
The production has received multiple honors, including Best Adaptation from the SoCal Film Awards in 2025, Best Original Idea from the Top Indie Film Awards in 2026, and Best Ensemble Cast from the Bare Bones International Film Festival in 2026. It also earned nominations for Best Writing and Best Editing.
Gossom is available for interviews, readings, and commentary on poetry’s cultural role and the connection between creative expression and emotional wellness.&nbsp;
Purchase The Human Equation at Amazon, Apple Books, or Barnes &amp; Noble, or here: https://bobgossom.com/books/

The esteemed international chamber music collective Camerata Pacifica caps its 36th season with the highly anticipated California premiere of Dimitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 15, Op.144, arranged by Viktor Derevyanko for piano trio and percussion, May 14-19, 2026, in Los Angeles, San Marino, Santa Barbara, and Thousand Oaks. This is just the fifth performance in the western hemisphere of the 47-minute arrangement, which Shostakovich himself approved. Premiered in 1972 in Moscow, it is considered an alluring textural and rhythmic alternative to Shostakovich’s original. The Fifteenth Symphony, the composer’s final symphonic work, is regarded as a summation of Shostakovich’s remarkable artistry, blending “a hard-earned gravity with the buoyant spirit of youth” (The Wall Street Journal). Featured artists include Grace Park, violin; Ani Aznavoorian, cello; Gilles Vonsattel, piano; and percussionists Ji Hye Jung, Ayano Kataoka, Svet Stoyanov, and Jason Treuting.
The chamber music program is presented on Thursday, May 14, 8:00 pm, Zipper Hall in Downtown Los Angeles; Friday, May 15, 2026, 7:00 pm, at Santa Barbara’s Music Academy of the West; Sunday, May 17, 3:00 pm, at Thousand Oaks’ Janet and Ray Scherr Forum; and Tuesday, May 19, 7:30 pm, at The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall in San Marino.
Additional highlights include the season’s final “Beethoven 32” offering with Principal Piano Gilles Vonsattel performing the Piano Sonata in A Major, Op. 2, No. 2, a masterpiece that helped cement Beethoven’s reputation as one of the most important composers of his era. Camerata Pacifica’s “Beethoven 32” is a three-year Beethoven cycle that launched last fall featuring Vonsattel on all 32 of Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas.
Two contemporary works spotlighting percussion round out the repertoire. The featured percussionists add rhythmic joy to Belgian composer Thierry De Mey's fascinating Musique de Table for which the artists “play” small tables as their only instruments.
The percussionists also join violinist Grace Park for Kenji Bunch’s Transcontinental for Violin and Percussion Quartet. Bunch has earned a reputation as one of America’s most engaging, influential, and prolific composers, with genre-defying music that has been performed on six continents and by more than seventy American orchestras.
For tickets ($35/$75 at The Huntington, Music Academy of the West, and Zipper Hall; $48.25/$94.40, including fees, at Janet and Ray Scherr Forum) and information, visit <a href="https://www.cameratapacifica.org." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">cameratapacifica.org.</a>
