The Founding
of the Old Pros

Picture
"The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental. It's so much like life." - Arthur Miller
​
​​In 2004, Shirley Lasagna, a professional entertainer, and her husband moved to Laguna Woods and registered her musical performance act as “The Old Pros”, enabling them to perform for the community. She, and a small number of performers who shared a love for topnotch performance arts, formed a club named The Old Pros. This entertainment group focused on variety and professional levels of performance and quality. It exists today still maintaining the highest level of competence for audience satisfaction, providing a spectrum of opportunities for its members to engage in theatrical activities.
