As one character in this play observes, “Almost anybody you meet who has had any length of time here in Santa Barbara has had some experience with fire – losing homes, losing friends’ homes, whatever it might be – almost everyone I know back to the Coyote Fire and the Sycamore Canyon Fire – all the big fires – you almost can’t meet someone who hasn’t been affected in a traumatic way, in a deep way.” Drawn from in-depth interviews from a range of Santa Barbarans: survivors, students, firefighters, artists, newscasters, unsung heroes, Through the Fire tells reveals the stories of courage, crisis and change in the face of an unstoppable natural force. A deeply moving theatrical assemblage that captures the danger, despair, humor and hope of our community’s close encounters with wildfire.
