Christine Wetherill Stevenson (April 12, 1878 – November 21, 1922) was an heiress of the Pittsburgh Paint Company[1] and founder of the Philadelphia Art Alliance.[2]
She helped fund the Daisy Dell which became the Hollywood Bowl, in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. She established the Pilgrimage Theatre (now known as the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre) in Hollywood Hills. She played a major role in the theater's first production, Life of Christ, which received significant advance newspaper coverage and was described "an American Oberammergau".[3][4]
