FIREBRINGER at SBHS Theatre – Jan 24, 25, 26
Santa Barbara High School Theatre presents FIREBRINGER, A STARKID Musical, January 24 - 26
Santa Barbara High School Theatre's 20th annual student directed production starts a new tradition! In the place of Music of the Night, SBHS seniors, Carter Beaudette, Logan Fleming, and Josie Gillingham are directing full musical: FIREBRINGER, a STARKID musical.
At the dawn of humanity, one tribe of cave-people survives the many trials of prehistoric life under the wise leadership of Jemilla, The Peacemaker. Jemilla taught her people to express themselves, rather than bashing each others' heads with rocks and eating each others' babies. But one member of the tribe doesn't seem to fit in: Zazzalil. She's always trying to invent things to make life easier… for herself. While out hatching her latest scheme, Zazzalil stumbles upon the most important discovery in history. One that will pit her tribe against wooly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and change the world forever. She'll travel from omega to alpha, and become… the Firebringer!
Showtimes:
Friday, January 24th @ 7pm
Saturday, January 25 @ 2pm & 7pm
Sunday, January 26th @2pm
GA: Students/Seniors $10, GA: Adult $15, Reserved Seating: $25
Tickets available at the door and, in advance, at purplepass.com/sbhstheatre.

Two Years After Fire and Flood: A Community Conversation About the Impacts of the Thomas Fire and January 9 Debris Flow
Two years since the catastrophic incidents in Santa Barbara County, their effects continue to be felt. In addition to the terrible direct impacts of these events on our community, ash from the fire and mud relocated to beaches also affected the health of the Santa Barbara coast and channel.
Join us to hear about the latest ongoing research assessing the extent of these impacts, and what it might tell us about how to improve our response to future disasters. A series of flash talks by experts in the biological and social sciences will be followed by a moderated panel discussion and Q&A with experts and local policymakers.
