(And I have been acting since I was a child) He deeply cares for each of his students and their development. His way of thinking and putting things together has truly transformed me as an actor (and as a person in general). Peter helps his students engage with and awaken their greatest super power: imagination. I am now 100% confident on exactly how to own a room when I walk into it. I am keenly aware of my voice, physicality's, tone, stature, ticks, strength, weaknesses, where to pull from, how to create characters, how to win over directors. He is an incredibly gifted teacher and a true wealth of information. The arts are better because of him! This, I know. Santa Barbara and LA are so lucky to have him. Thank you Peter.

I mean, The audience chairs could use a lot of work (bolt those bad boys down to the floor so they don't move around and stand up when I stand up), but other than that, the space is very large and airy. Full of room. The acoustics aren't that great, but it is still a nice spot to get away and see a performance. The person who gave directions here really tried, but he gave me the "scenic route" all around the outside of the shopping center instead of just telling me to cut straight through the shopping center (since I was already there) to the back and find any staircase that will lead me up to the second floor. So I'm telling you now: Cut through the Paseo Nuevo shopping center straight to the back and find any staircase to lead you up to the second floor. Once I got there, I realized I had been here before. It's directly across from the museum entrance on the second floor. Anyway, I enjoyed myself. Maybe we can come together to donate to the theater and get these chairs bolted down to the floor!

I Madonnari Italian street festival happens every year during Memorial Day weekend. This festival…read moreshowcases over 140 colorful and vibrant chalk street paintings. I respect that each artist works hunched over on the ground filling in the template. I commend each and every one of them for the time spent to fill in and showcase the beautiful art work. Be respectful and give them space while walking through. It gets pretty busy due to the holiday, so expect crowds during your visit. Enjoy live music, local food, and a great atmosphere. The mission gift store is also open and worth checking out for souvenirs. Bring your camera, charged up phone, and prepare to capture amazing pictures! If you're impatient and don't care to wait in long lines for food, then bring your own food and have a picnic across the street. Park yourself at the rose garden with the family and relax on the grass. There's also an local vendors selling baked goods and lemonade for sweet treats. Tuesday & Wednesday are the best time to stop by if you want to see the chalk art completed.

I've been twice over the years, with and without kids, and it's a nice, free way to enjoy some outdoor time in beautiful Santa Barbara. The festival gets busy, so it's best to go early if you want to park anywhere close to the mission. My elderly father-in-law went and gave up when he couldn't find parking to meet us at 10:00 on the Sunday morning. We found a spot on the rose garden side, and our kids enjoyed looking at the wonderful variety of roses on our way in. The street paintings are super fun and impressive. They all seem to be sponsored by local businesses, schools, and even families, who hire artists to create temporary paintings on the concrete in front of the mission. The works range in subject matter and artistry, with teenagers working alongside absolute ringers rendering amazing images in chalk and pastels. I've only gone in the middle of the festival, and I like watching the artists at work. I'll bet it'd be cool, though, to walk through all the finished paintings. There are food vendors and other entertainment on the lawn, which we will take advantage of some other year, when our children aren't being moody. I'm charmed by this local festival, and look forward to more Madonnaris in the years to come.
