UC Santa Cruz

BarnStorm Theater is a student-run theater company at The University of California, Santa Cruz. The theater functions as a community space where students support one another’s production in return for support on theirs. The undergraduate students who participate in BarnStorm are accustomed to the resources readily available in an educational setting. As the Managing Director for the 2017-2018 Season, I implemented a post-academic model for the majority of the productions, moving theory into practical action, so that participants experience the struggles they will face in future projects after graduating.
