Who We Are
We are a group of students at UCSB who believe musical theater is an important cultural and individual means of expression. We were saddened when we learned the school does not produce a musical, so we took matters into our own hands and are producing our own.
Does UCSB want a musical?
We believe so. All of us have talked to countless fellow students who expressed dismay at the lack of musical theater. In addition, within the first 24 hours of announcing auditions we had over 20 people sign up for audition times, with that number climbing to over 100 within two weeks and another 100 people interested.
We hope to bring the joy and thoughtfulness of musical theater to an audience of almost 500 students at 5 performances, but we need help to make that happen!
Funding Details
The Associated Students has graciously funded purchasing the rights to perform the musical, and the College of Creative Studies has allowed us to use their theater as a venue. However, there are so many other costs associated with such a production. We need donations of at least $1000 to offset the costs of costumes, sets, props, and other miscellaneous expenses.
To show our appreciation for your contributions, we are offering several very exciting perks to those who donate! You can get your name in the program, a poster signed by the entire cast, or even meet the cast backstage before the show!
