Out of the mud and ashes at the Lobero Theater

On Saturday night, a dozen local artists will take the stage at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara. They include musicians, dancers, poets and filmmakers, and although their art forms are all different, one common theme runs through the entire show. Each performer uses creative expression to help process and understand the pain that was caused by the Thomas Fire and subsequent mudslides.
