“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” (School-Friendly Version)

After a meteor lands in the tiny town of Hatchetfield, the townsfolk begin singing, dancing and committing murder. In the middle of it all, Paul Matthews, an accountant who hates musicals, tries to survive the impending apocalypse.

This production was the brainchild of Grace Cotner, a graduating senior at Fusion Academy, Santa Barbara. After seeing so many arts programs disappear from schools, Grace dreamed of creating a performance opportunity for other young people who didn’t have access to school-sponsored productions. Grace enlisted the help of her mom, Megyn Price, an award-winning actor, director & writer, to make this dream a reality. In bringing together actors, musicians, family, friends, members of the Santa Barbara theater community and so many kind volunteers, we worked to create a true collaborative “community theater” experience for everyone. Our mission statement is clear:

Don’t wait for an opportunity . . . CREATE ONE!
