The Theatre Group
The Theatre Group at Santa Barbara City College, with its direct ties to the Alhecama Theatre, is the longest running theatre organization in Santa Barbara. Since 1978 it has been located in the Garvin Theatre Complex on the SBCC West campus. It is recognized as one of the outstanding theatre companies in the Tri-counties, both in terms of production quality and audience size.
Only the Best Talent
The Theatre Group at SBCC uses talent from the professional, community and student ranks. This hybrid relationship between the SBCC Theatre Arts Department and the local acting community makes for a unique and powerful program that both teaches and entertains.
