JURKOWITZ THEATRE
Santa Barbara City College
Santa Barbara, CA

An existing black box theatre was remodeled to improve it’s function, aesthetics and comfort. A new orientation and addition of an entry vestibule gave the theatre a more prominent identity within the existing Drama Music Complex. The addition of an acoustic sliding door provides easy access from the scene shop to stage area. The number one request from subscribers was to provide comfortable seating; this was accomplished with new upholstered theatre seats arranged to provide optimum viewing angles, meet ADA requirements and provide easy access for the entire audience. A privately funded project, KBZ worked closely with theatre staff and the donor to help provide a flexible, 2500 square foot, 106 seat theatre now in use for productions, student directed shows and acting classes.
