BoxTales

I'm excited to have recently joined the Board of Directors of the Santa Barbara's BoxTales Theater Company.

BoxTales is a talented group of actors who bring folk tales and myths to life in performances that manage to be both starkly minimalist and completely captivating. I have been a fan for years and I look forward to helping BoxTales to achieve their mission to " fire imaginations, strengthen cultural pride, foster tolerance, and engage young people in the excitement and immediacy of live performance."

A few years ago they packed the Lobero theater with their effective adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. They managed to tell almost the entire story with only 5 actors and only a few props -- a triumph that is only faintly conveyed in the promotional video posted below.
