UC Santa Barbara Department of Theater and Dance Announces Digital Events - IMMORTAL LONGINGS, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, and More! Image

In an effort to minimize the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the community, Chancellor Henry Yang announced on Tuesday, March 10th that the UC Santa Barbara campus will be transitioning to remote instruction until it's safe for the community to gather at the public events. Even though faced with challanges of createing performing arts pieces over Zoom, students, faculty, and staff worked tirelessly to produce exciting season of events.

In the fall quarter of 2020-2021 the school's theatre department is producing more events than in a regular school year, and they will be shared with the community for free.
