There are very vibrant youth and community outreach programs in Santa Barbara, provided by the many Performing Arts organizations in the area. Aspiring young musicians and thespians are given the opportunity to perform on stage and in fully staged productions. Students from community schools are provided with the chance to see, learn from and be inspired by performing artists from around the world. Here's to the future!

"We use David Bazemore every year at Upstarts Youth Theatre – I would not think of using anyone else! Every moment we work so hard to achieve is impeccably represented in his photographs. David Bazemore makes me look very good at what I do!"

— Emma-Jane Huerta, Artisitic Director Upstarts Youth Theater Project
