TACIT's Winter Production of
Pasadena Babalon: the World of Jack Parsons
by George Morgan
February 19-27, 2010
Ramo Auditorium

TACIT is proud to present the world premiere of Pasadena Babalon, a new 
stage play dealing with the life of rocket pioneer Jack Parsons, 
co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Aerojet 
General Corporation.

TACIT director Brian Brophy will direct the play penned by George 
Morgan, author of last year's well-received Rocket Girl. Babalon takes 
the audience on a journey through mid-1930s Pasadena up until Jack's 
untimely death in 1952. Surrounded by a gallery of characters including 
Aleister Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard, Theodore Von Karman, and many others, 
the play examines the nature of genius, with its unintended 
consequences, black magic, military contracts, and the formation of JPL.

Pasadena Babalon is scheduled to open Friday, February 19, and continues 
Saturday, Feb. 20; Sunday, Feb. 21 (shows at 2:30 and 7:30); and Friday, 
Feb. 26, closing on Feb. 27. All shows except Sunday are at 8 p.m. in 
Caltech's Ramo Auditorium.
