After cancelling Saturday & Sunday performance due to the Thomas Fire, Santa Barbara Revels will put on a performance tonight (12/19) at the Lobero Theatre. Celebrate Santa Barbara and Alta California history in this colorful, entertaining, theatrical production. Sea shanties, English Christmas carols, and mummers’ antics blend with the fandango, Las Posadas, mission music and Spanish holiday favorites! Richard Henry Dana and his shipmates enjoy the festivities for Anita de la Guerra’s wedding and share seasonal traditions with their hosts. Experience authentic Chumash story-telling and exciting events written about by Dana in his classic book, Two Years Before the Mast.
