E Pluribus Unum. It may seem lofty to use the motto of the United States to describe a musical group, but “out of many, one” accurately describes this dynamic trio, each steeped in American music traditions, from

wildly divergent paths.

Frisell’s latest project, When You Wish Upon a Star, features Petra

Haden on vocals, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Rudy Royston

on drums performing inventive arrangements of music from classic films and television.

“Lost and Found” Music by Joe Tippett

Lyrics by Matthew Lopez

WELCOME TO ETCSeveral years ago I read The Whipping Man, a play set during the Civil War written by Matthew Lopez that was having a number of productions around the country. The story was dark and intense, with one character undergoing a leg amputation. So I was surprised that Lopez’s next hit play was a sweet and funny story about drag performers. This play, The Legend of Georgia McBride, is also becoming a regional theater hit, and is heading for a film adaptation starring Jim Parsons. His latest work, The Inheritance, is a two-part seven-hour adaptation of the novel Howard’s End now playing in London’s West End and heading for a Broadway production. Lopez is turning out to be one of America’s hottest contemporary playwrights.

Georgia McBride is not only funny and boisterous; it’s a deeply touching story about people who persevere on the margins of society. While it’s not technically a holiday-themed play, its uplifting spirit and central message of love and acceptance make it appropriate nevertheless.

Thank you for spending the holidays with ETC!

JONATHAN FOX ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Welcome to the second production of ETC’s 40th season. The Legend of Georgia McBride is an exhilarating night in the theater. It’s also a wonderful bridge between ETC’s season-opening production of The School for Lies—the story of Frank, a caustic, crabby guy who despises social niceties—and our February production of Death of a Salesman—the story of Willy Loman, the tragic hero of Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer-Prize winning play that you think you know well, but invariably yields new insights and surprises.

We think this story of how Casey, a struggling Elvis impersonator, becomes a better man after donning lipstick and a wig, is a perfect holiday offering. The playwright Matthew Lopez says it best: “Georgia McBride is about a group of people who don’t really fit

in anywhere else. I call them my misfit toys, and they build a home together at the bar.” In short, it’s a story of family.

In the lobby following an early production of Legend, the playwright was confronted by a passionate patron who told him, “I hate everything.... But I love your play.”

We know you’ll leave the theater focusing less on what you hate, and more on some brand new characters you have come to love.

Thank you for joining us during this holiday season. In this season of giving, please consider making a year-end gift to ETC. Donors like you make all of ETC’s productions possible.

Enjoy the show.

PRESENTED WITH SUPPORT FROM

FROM THE DIRECTORIt seems incredibly fitting to be directing The Legend of Georgia McBride for the 40th ETC season. Forty years ago I began my relationship with Santa Barbara when I moved here. Forty years ago in Santa Barbara, I was first introduced to the art of drag. It was homespun, unexpected, joyous, fun, and fabulous.

The message of our Georgia is rooted in finding family, finding your “tribe” and following your passion. That is what happened to me when I moved here 40 years ago. I’ve always loved that theater creates a collaborative adventure, and in this production that couldn’t be more true. We all need and depend on each other. This play could never happen without the amazingly talented and courageous actors, designers, production team and ETC staff! I want to send a special shout out to my casting director, Amy Lieberman, to my choreographer, Jamie Torcellini, and to Jonathan Fox for choosing Georgia and entrusting her to me.

I am blessed and grateful to be back home working on a story about the courage to dress up and to live out loud.

Happy Holidays, Santa Barbara!!

It opened its new 300-seat home, the New Vic, in 2013. The New Vic has become a venue for dance, music, film, and lectures. After Joseph Hanreddy left Santa Barbara in 1985, Robert Grande Weiss became Artistic Director, a position he held until his retirement in 2006. Jonathan Fox assumed the position of Executive Artistic Director in September 2006 and saw the company through great expansion. Jill Seltzer joined ETC as its Managing Director in 2016. ETC, which became an Equity theater in 1989, is Santa Barbara’s sole professional theater company. The company, which presents five or six plays per season, has produced several American and West Coast premieres and has garnered numerous awards over the years.

Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) was founded in 1913 as the first of the American actor unions. Equity’s mission is to advance, promote and foster the art of live theater as an essential component of our society. Today, Equity represents more than 45,000 actors, singers, dancers and stage managers working in hundreds of theaters across the United States. Equity members are dedicated to working in the theater as a profession, upholding the highest artistic standards. Equity negotiates wages and working conditions and provides a wide range of benefits including health and pension plans for its members. Through its agreement with Equity, this theatre has committed to the fair treatment of the actors and stage managers employed in this production. AEA is a member of the AFL-CIO and is affiliated with FIA, an international organization of performing arts unions. For more information, visit www.actorsequity.org.

Thank YouTHE NEW VIC CAMPAIGN

— OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DONORS —

The New Vic Campaign successfully raised $12.6 million from more than 275 individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations. The commitment of these steadfast supporters of Ensemble Theatre Company made it possible to renovate the 92-year-old Victoria Community Hall, transforming it into the New Vic. This state-of-the-art, 294-seat theater, unmatched on California’s Central Coast, opened in November 2013.

We are deeply grateful to these supporters’ extraordinary investment in the New Vic, which serves as the permanent home of Ensemble Theatre Company and has become the venue of choice for a wide range of Santa Barbara organizations and corporations.

An Honor Roll of Donors to the New Vic Campaign hangs in the New Vic lobby and is maintained on ETC’s website at etcsb.org/about/vic_donors.

Ensemble Theatre Company has established the Legacy Society for friends who would like to make gifts to ETC through trusts, estates or other planned giving vehicles. These gifts enable us to continue to provide the highest-quality theater and youth education programs in the years to come.

Thank you to the following supporters who have provided a lasting legacy by including Ensemble Theatre Company in their wills and other planned giving vehicles:

For more information about planned giving through ETC’s Legacy Society, please contact Managing Director Jill Seltzer at 805-880-1995 or jseltzer@etcsb.org.

The ETC Foundation is a permanently endowed supporting organization created for the sole purpose of providing the financial resources needed to ensure the vitality of Ensemble Theatre Company for future generations. The ETC Endowment earnings will help us keep admission prices affordable, ensure maintenance of the New Vic, subsidize young audience programs, expand our educational outreach efforts and uphold ETC’s long-term financial strength.
