SUMMARY:“Much Ado About Nothing” by “Naked Shakes” Outdoors at Elings Park
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” is one of the most famous “rom-coms” of all time\, with its budding romances\, meddling villains\, potential catastrophes\, and witty banter between enemies-to-lovers Benedick and Beatrice. Elings Park presents the award-winning ensemble Naked Shakes in this popular comedy for two outdoor performances in Godric Grove on Friday\, September 6 at 5 p.m. and Sunday\, September 8 at 3 p.m. \nPerformed in their hallmark style of minimal props and simple costumes\, Naked Shakes puts the focus on the abilities of the actors and the brilliant words of the Bard. Director Irwin Appel’s original production is filled with music\, dance\, and revelry\, and is scored by a live jazz quintet. \nAdvance general admission tickets are $17 for adults\, $13 for teens and seniors\, and free for children under 12. Available online at www.elingspark.org. Tickets will be sold at the door\, as available\, at $20 for adults and $15 for teens and seniors. \n“Naked Shakes productions are ‘unplugged\,’ exciting\, and accessible to audiences of all ages\,” says Dean Noble\, executive director of Elings Park. “The young actors are energetic\, nimble\, and whole-heartedly committed to conveying both the humor and heartache in this beloved farce.” \nThis is the second of two Shakespeare plays presented this summer in the Park’s scenic Godric Grove amphitheater. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum one of their signature production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Saturday\, August 17 was sold-out. \n“There’s nothing quite like experiencing these wonderful plays in the open air and under the oaks in Godric Grove\,” adds Noble. “We’d love the Park to become a destination for summer Shakespeare.” \nNow in its 19th year\, Naked Shakes is a UCSB ensemble that annually produces a Shakespearean play under the direction of Professor Irwin Appel. Critically acclaimed and award-winning\, they not only perform on campus but have transported productions to the Southwest Shakespeare Company at Taliesin West (Scottsdale\, Arizona)\, the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles\, Westmont College\, and Center Stage Theater in downtown Santa Barbara. In the summer of 2023\, they performed in Italy’s Verona Shakespeare Fringe Festival\, performing “The Death of Kings\,” their acclaimed adaptation of Shakespeare’s history plays. Visit www.theaterdance.ucsb.edu/performance-programs/naked-shakes. \n“Whether you are a Shakespeare lover or you have never seen a live theater production in your life\, Naked Shakes’ ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ is for you\,” says Appel. “Sit back\, relax and prepare to laugh and cry your way through this wild ride and deeply emotional and joyous adventure.”

SUMMARY:Outdoors “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at Elings Park
DESCRIPTION:“Summer Shakespeare doesn’t get any better than this\,” raves Stage Scene LA about Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum’s signature production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream\,” which will be transported from their Topanga Canyon amphitheater to Santa Barbara’s Elings Park for an outdoor performance amid the oaks and under the stars on Saturday\, August 17 starting at 3 p.m. \nThis production is a favorite of Theatricum audiences and returns each year as part of the professional company’s five-play summer season. At Elings Park it will be performed amid the oaks and under the stars in the Godric Grove outdoor theatre. Godric Grove’s stage will be transformed into the enchanted forest of Athens where an unseen fantasy world of fairies and sprites exists alongside – and often interferes with – the human one. One of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays\, it is a merry romp filled with comic confusions\, mistaken identities\, and unrequited love\, all joyously reconciled. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is believed to have been first performed as an entertainment at the wedding of Queen Elizabeth First’s godchild. \n“Theatricum Botanicum’s fantastical… production is apparently a favorite\, and it is easy to see why\,” says Shakespeare International. The production is directed by Theatricum’s Associate Producing Artistic Director Willow Geer\, the granddaughter of company founder\, Will Geer. Blacklisted during the 1950s\, the elder Geer later appeared as the beloved Grandpa in “The Waltons” from 1972 until his death in 1978. His daughter Ellen Geer\, also an actress\, is the company’s producing artistic director. \n“The production was created for Theatricum’s theatre in the woods\, and is a great fit for the Park\,” says Dean Noble\, Elings Park’s executive director. “Godric Grove is already magical\, with an oak tree growing though the stage. This is a perfect way to introduce your family to the world of Shakespeare.” \n“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the first of two Shakespeare offerings at Godric Grove this summer. UCSB’s award-winning student company Naked Shakes stages two performances of “Much Ado About Nothing” directed by Irwin Appel on September 6 and 8. Ticket and more information are to be announced. \n“We are planting the seeds of Shakespeare in Elings Park. Our hope is to bring the Bard back to the Park every summer\,” says Noble. “Summer Shakespeare could become the next Santa Barbara tradition.” \nAdvance general admission tickets for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” are $20 for adults\, $15 for teens and seniors\, and free for children under 12. Available online at https://elingspark.ticketsauce.com/e/midsummer-nights-dream-at-elings-park. Tickets will be sold at the door as available at $23 for adults\, $18 for teens and seniors. Free parking is available for ticketed guests. Visit www.elingspark.org.

SUMMARY:Public Forum on SB Botanic Garden and Elings Park Native Plant Project
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to learn about – and comment on – a new project by Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Elings Park at a series of four public forums led by Denise Knapp\, Ph.D.\, the Garden’s director of conservation and research\, and Scot Pipkin\, their director of education. \nThe Landscape Transformation Project is a collaborative effort between the two partners and the public to transform an acre of the Park from invasive to entirely California-native plants and document the effects. \nOn Tuesday\, September 5\, the meeting is held at Elings Park’s outdoor Godric Grove from 5:30 to 7 p.m. \nThe final meeting is on Wednesday September 13 at Garden’s Blaksley Library from 5:30 to 7 p.m. \n“Native plants lay the foundation that supports all life on Earth. Through the transformation at Elings Park\, we’ll be able to demonstrate\, through science\, the value of native plants and a healthy ecosystem\,” said Dr. Knapp. “We want the public not only to hear about what we hope to achieve but to weigh in on our plans. Later\, they’ll have a chance to get their hands dirty as we plant and tend to the plants.” \nThe project began with a Bioblitz on May 11 in which participants used the iNaturalist smartphone app to record birds\, bugs\, plants\, and more that they discovered at Elings Park’s South Bluffs. Several native California plant species identified on that day will be planted in the new area\, along with others\, including those suggested during the public meetings. \nOngoing monthly Nature Walks led by Garden experts explore the park’s biodiversity – and one of the public meetings is scheduled following the August 19 walk (see below). \nThe project’s one-acre location on the South Bluffs has been selected and staff and project volunteers will clear the plot of invasive plant species\, prepare the soil\, then plant and monitor the native species. Earlier this spring\, Garden staff began monitoring plants\, birds\, pollinators\, and other bugs and will be following up after planting to gather additional data on the site’s vitality. Data before and after the transformation will be compared\, and both will be compared to an adjacent invaded area. \nElings Park opened in 1985 as the result of a community campaign to turn the former landfill into a public park. First encompassing 90 acres\, the Park expanded to 230 acres in 1994 with the purchase of an adjacent property. Currently\, approximately 75% is undeveloped. \n“We’ve recently made a major push to bring native plants back to the Park. Over the past two years\, we’ve removed non-natives and planted over 250 California native oaks\, plus thousands of native grasses and shrubs\,” says Dean Noble\, Elings Park executive director. “This project concentrates natives in one area\, and powerfully demonstrates how this transformation can impact an entire ecosystem.” \nIt is a diverse landscape with recreation and natural ecosystems side by side. Nine miles of trails traverse shady oak groves and sunny\, ocean-facing hillsides covered with chaparral. Youth and adults enjoy league play in softball\, soccer\, rugby\, lacrosse\, and tennis. Special areas are dedicated to BMX racing\, hang gliding\, paragliding\, disc golf\, and remote-controlled cars and airplanes. It is also a popular location for weddings and special events. \n
