A TALK ABOUT GOD’S LOVE by a former alcoholic and unbeliever

Steven Sondheim’s masterpiece “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - School Edition” comes to Garden Street Academy’s Black Box Theater. Sweeney Todd--wrongfully imprisoned by a corrupt judge--returns to nineteenth century London with a vendetta. Aided by the help of a down-on-her-luck owner of a failing pie shop, Mrs. Lovett, the pair scheme a way to exact revenge and reinvigorate the pie shop with a new secret ingredient that has the people of London lining up!

“Sweeney Todd is a complicated show, and we are incredibly proud of the professionalism our cast has been demonstrating through the rehearsal process,” said director Brittany Harter. “We want the audience to feel the unease that comes with a production of this caliber, and we can’t wait to share this exciting and bloody process with audiences.”

Featuring a live band and raw student talent, the show promises to deliver the chaos and carnage of the full musical edition. Performances run March 17th through March 19th on our historic campus in the Black Box Theatre at 7pm. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased through the school office or at the door.

Known by divers internationally as the Pioneer of the Pioneers, Hans Hass started his diving career in the 1930s. He was the first free-swimming film maker to film and photograph sharks, manta rays, and whales in their natural environment. A prolific writer, Hass had published six books on diving by 1950. He left the underwater world in 1960 and was largely forgotten by the diving industry. Hans met Santa Barbara-based diving historian Leslie Leaney in 1997 and they formed a partnership that led to a revival of interest in Hans’ pioneering career. In 1998 Leslie and Ed Stetson brought Hans and his wife Lotte to Santa Barbara for a film festival at the Arlington honoring his career. The film festival was used as the climax of the film The Man Who Discovered the Sea, but the film was never released in America. In this program Leslie will present the Santa Barbara residents and the background involved in the Arlington film festival and will show the complete movie.
