Ragtime, the Musical, an epic tale of a young America played out in song and dance: It paints a nostalgic and powerful portrait of life at the turn of the twentieth century. The musical intertwines three distinct stories that poignantly illustrate history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and love and hate. The Tony Award-winning score by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Seussical) is just as diverse as the “Melting Pot of America” that it seeks to recreate, drawing upon traditional Jewish folk sounds, Vaudeville’s outrageous style, and Scott Joplin to invoke the enlivened spirit of Harlem.
Ragtime plays the Marian Theatre from July 10 through the 26th then the Festival Theater from August 1 through the 24th.
Featured is Equity Guest Artist David St. Louis whose credits include Broadway productions of Rent, Jesus Christ Superstar and Harlem Song, numerous regional credits and TV appearances on Law and Order, One Life to Live, and Trigger Effect. Mr. St. Louis will be playing Coalhouse Walker Jr.

Drawn from the rich archive at the John Kobal Foundation in London, this exhibition focuses on the stars, the sets and the scenes created by the film industry and memorialized by the most important photographers who worked in Hollywood from 1920-1960. From the silent era through the end of the studio system in the late 1950s, camera artists captured and created the magic that Hollywood symbolized. Featuring more than 90 images, Made in Hollywood offers a glimpse into the world of fantasy, glamour and perfection that the image makers produced.

The Imaginary Invalid, PCPA Literary Manager, Patricia M. Troxel, has newly adapted this French classic which is a scintillating satire on the medical profession: In a sparkling new translation and adaptation, poor hypochondriac Silas Argan hatches a plot to combat his soaring medical costs which includes having his daughter marrying a physician so that he will always have a doctor on call. But his daughter has fallen for someone else and her stepmother wants her in a convent. This riotous script is the perfect prescription for whatever ails you.
The Imaginary Invalid plays August 7 through the 23rd in Santa Maria, then August 28 through September 7 in Solvang.
Playing hypochondriac Silas Argan will be Equity Guest Artist William Youmans. Besides coast to coast regional theatre credits, Mr. Youmans has appeared in Broadway’s Wicked, La Boheme and Big River, national tours of Titanic and Tommy and TV and Film’s Law & Order, N.Y.P.D. Blue, and A League of Their Own and Mrs. Soffell, respectively.
Rejoining the summer company for this production is Equity Guest Artist Leslie Brott. Ms. Brott who will play the Widow Deliverance Dickinson was featured in previous PCPA’s productions of Always…Patsy Cline, Brighton Beach Memoirs and The Matchmaker. She’s since appeared at Utah Shakespearean Festival, Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, GeVa Theatre, Dallas Theatre Center and Madison Repertory Theatre.

Pat Morales, former Peabody principal, has been working to design a unique home school program where students would have the opportunity to benefit from the home school setting and link back to programs and resources unique to the traditional school setting.
Home School Santa Barbara would support home schooling families so that students develop the academic, personal, social skills and qualities of lifelong learners. The school's philosophy would be based on the belief that children grow and learn in different ways. The educational path for students in grades K-12 would be fashioned around each student's individual needs, goals and interests. A key element of the program would be the availability of resources, network, and support groups.
Each Home School Santa Barbara student and their family would work with their respective mentor teacher to determine educational goals and objectives, create an individualized curriculum, and determine individual methods of teaching and learning. The family and the mentor teacher would work together as a team to optimize the learning experience for each individual student. The involvement of the teacher would vary from an advisory and assessment capacity to one of almost complete administration of the student learning process, depending on the needs and wishes of the family.

Cutter's Way (1981)
Starring Jeff Bridges, John Heard, Lisa Eichorn, Nina Van Pallandt. Directed by Ivan Passer.
"Cutter's Way is hard to put in a category. It's a delicate blend of thriller, comedy, drama, conspiracy, buddy movie, incredibly moving acting, noir-ish (not noir) cinematography and one of the most haunting scores in cinema. Richard Bone (Bridges) is the aimless playboy yin to Alex Cutter's (Heard) hardcore Vietnam veteran yang and Moe (Lisa Eichorn) is Alex's cynical wife. All three drink and exist in a modest house in a Santa Barbara neighborhood in the 70's. Until one rainy night in an alley . . . "
