California: Here & Now
Ensemble Theatre Company’s New Season

One Friday: September 18 | 1:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Bethany Congregational Church | 556 N. Hope Avenue, Santa Barbara
VISTAS member price: $20; non-member price $30

Presented by Scott DeVine
ETC’s Executive Artistic Director, Scott DeVine, traces his path through various positions that prepared him for this role, then unveils the upcoming season, “California: Here & Now,” exploring how the stories we tell about the Golden State reveal who we are and who we hope to become. With a lineup grounded in California as a place where dreams are made and then tested—with RENT and Doubt: A Parable set as deliberate counterpoints—along with works that measure the California dream against questions of faith, community, and survival, he celebrates the power of storytelling and theatre’s enduring transformative magic.
