Writing in the Galleries

Writers of all levels are invited to participate in this informal exploration of the Museum’s galleries as an impetus to writing. Monthly sessions are led by a visiting writer who begins with a conversation and prompt, partially inspired by works on view. Participants write on their own, then reconvene to share and comment on each other’s work. Please bring something on which to write.

In this special December session, SBCC Creative Writing Professor Joshua Escobar explores the idea of transformation as a prompt for writing. Participants may submit their work for consideration of inclusion in a related public reading and performance at SBMA on February 12 or to the upcoming issue of Open Fruit, SBCC's Creative Writing Magazine. For further information, contact jmescobar2@pipeline.sbcc.edu.

Miracle On 34th Street

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
DECEMBER 15-18, 2022
Featuring a cast of 30+ performers, 6-70 years old, from Carpinteria - Santa Barbara - Goleta - Ventura - Santa Paula presented by The Alcazar Ensemble at the historic Alcazar Theatre.

In this holiday classic, an old man named Kris Kringle fills in for an intoxicated Santa in Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day parade. Kringle is such a hit that he soon appears regularly at the chain's main store in midtown Manhattan.

When Kringle surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus, it leads to a court case to determine his mental health and, more importantly, his authenticity.
