The Syringa Tree

We may all have different reasons why we love Santa Barbara and one of mine is the excellent theatre that this town provides.  The moving performance this evening, at the Ensemble Theatre Company, was extraordinary.

Pamela Gien’s THE SYRINGA TREE is a story about two families in South Africa during Apartheid in the 60’s.  This 24-character performance was powerfully delivered by one petite, powerful and dramatic Actor, Shannon Koob.  I was moved to extreme emotions in moments and I will never be the same.

Do yourself a favor and be emotionally human while sharing in two families experience of that time.  Very well done Shannon!

If this is indication of what may be in store for us next season I believe a bigger theatre may be needed.
