The Theatre Arts Department at Santa Barbara City College presents a student showcase production and premiere of the new play TEN RED KINGS by Mark Rigney, directed by R. Michael Gros, November 12-22, 2014 in the intimate Jurkowitz Theatre. Playwright Mark Rigney will be in residence at SBCC the week of November 18th. Scroll down for a first look at the cast in action!

One year into college and still grieving over the sudden death of her sister, Margo Cates plans to spend every waking minute of summer vacation honing her skills at World of Warcraft. But before she can even log on, Margot finds herself unwillingly whisked away to a wilderness camp for online gaming addicts. Cut off from technology, the campers and counselors wrestle with personal demons both online and off. A contemporary play built on contemporary concerns, Ten Red Kings uses music, dance, and live-action avatars to capture the ever-shrinking gap between reality and digital fantasy.

This production will feature our talented student actors: Astrid Alexandersson, Drew Anderson, Waldo Damaso-Figueroa, Morgan Darnall, Samantha Demangate, Colton Fair, Caesar Franco, Lazer Friedman, Dean Garcia, Natalie Ginsberg, Vera Olin, Sara Persson, Amanda Probst, Kendrick Surrell, Hannah Wade, Sabrina Wagner, and Laksmini Wiyantini.

Production staff includes R. Michael Gros (Director), Charles Thomson Garey (Scenic Designer), Patricia L. Frank (Lighting and Projection Designer), Ben Crop (Sound Designer), Nola Yergen (Costume Designer), and Britni Alleman (Production Stage Manager).
