Out of the Box Theatre Company: Innovating Musical Theatre in Santa Barbara

Founded in 2009 and led by the artistic vision of Samantha Eve, Out of the Box Theatre Company has emerged as a pivotal force in Santa Barbara's performing arts community. This nonprofit community theatre company specializes in bringing fresh and contemporary musicals to the local stage, distinguishing itself through its bold choices and innovative productions.

Out of the Box Theatre Company made a memorable entrance into the Santa Barbara theatre scene with its first production, "Reefer Madness: The Musical," at Center Stage Theater in April 2010. Since then, they have consistently delivered what they aptly describe as "the best musical theatre you've never seen." With a commitment to two productions each season, they not only entertain but also introduce Santa Barbara audiences to lesser-known, yet highly impactful contemporary musicals.

What sets this theatre company apart is its dedication to utilizing local talents. By bringing together some of the top performers, musicians, and designers in Santa Barbara, Out of the Box creates shows that are not only entertaining but also edgy and socially relevant, challenging the common expectations of musical theatre.

For those seeking an experience beyond the usual, Out of the Box Theatre Company offers a window into the vibrant and evolving world of modern musical theatre, right in the heart of Santa Barbara.
