BRAVO TO THE CAST & CREW OF
RUMORS
|
|
Last week, Laguna’s Theatre Arts Department proudly presented three performances of Neil Simon's play,
Rumors.
Head of School Rob Hereford expresses his appreciation to the cast, crew, production team, and LBS community --
"Saturday I had the opportunity to see the amazing production of
Rumors
. As always, I was so impressed with the work that our cast and crew shared with us under Dana’s direction. The experience of sitting and laughing along with the audience while also pausing to admire the craft of the individual performances was such a welcome distraction from our recent hardships. The group’s achievement was even more impressive considering the disruptions in rehearsal schedules. Thank you to the cast and crew, Dana Caldwell, and the Ensemble Theater for a great show!"

In the wake of our community's recent tragedies, Laguna Blanca’s Performing Arts students and the school’s Direct Relief International Student Club have created a way for us to come together as a community of helpers. Please join us at a benefit concert for

GIVING BACK TO THOSE WHO GIVE BACK
|
|
Since the Thomas fire began on December 4,
Los Arroyos Restaurant
has been providing complimentary meals to first responders from all four of their locations (Downtown Santa Barbara, Goleta, Camarillo, and Montecito).
After the Montecito mudslide, they continued to serve first responders from all locations except for the one on Coast Village Road, which was closed due to the mudslide. As their Montecito location has the most employees and creates the most volume of all of their restaurants, its closure has been especially difficult for the Arroyos family.
Though the Coast Village Road location is not slated to open for another 2-3 weeks, Los Arroyos' other three locations, as well as their catering service, are still open for business! Let's come together to support Los Arroyos as they have been supporting the first responders who have tirelessly protected our community during these trying times.
