The Ages project will involve over 100 Santa Barbara area students from fourth grade through high school who will interview some of our community’s valued senior citizens about their life stories.

Under the guidance of Boxtales Theatre Company, the students will use these elders’ life stories as the basis for creating original theater sketches to be performed in school assemblies and in a special performance at the Lobero Theatre on December 13, 2008.

This program is funded by in part by the Santa Barbara Foundation, Karuna Foundation, Weingart Foundation, Venoco Foundation, High Tide Foundation, Bower Foundation.

The Ages Reviewed in the SB Independent



Thursday, December 18, 2008 The Ages Project by Boxtales debuted its stage show at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara.

The performance received a review by Esther Tran-Le of The Independent, who wrote:
The Ages glowed with pure sincerity and respect for the elders’ lives portrayed. The children moved through the play brushing up against experiences far beyond those of their present youth like racism, fear, and war. Yet these kids gave up these old experiences to innocence and made The Ages a gentle bridge between two distant generations.
