Harrison Ghee to Star as “Mary’s Husband” Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola). Declared “one of the best comedies in years” by The New York Times, Oh, Mary! received two Tony Awards including Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton), Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play, as well as a special citation from the New York Drama Critics’ Circle. It was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Tickets: $83/ticket (a $74 savings from individual ticket prices) sitting in Mezzanine Level B2, Rows J and K, Seats 27 - 36.

Upper Newport Bay Kayak Tour

Upper Newport Bay Kayak Tour with the Newport Bay Conservancy Join a public group to kayak through the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and learn about what makes this place unique! Tours are guided by certified volunteer naturalists. This area is protected, and it is special to be able to enter into such a sensitive nature area. As you gently paddle along, you will have the opportunity to see wetland wildlife while your naturalist guide stops occasionally to rest and talk about the ecology/natural history of the Bay. Feel free to ask questions at any time during your tour! Fitness Level All participants are expected to help carry kayaks a short distance to/from the water before and after the tour. It is expected that all participants can swim. Equipment: All necessary equipment is provided, including... Personal Floatation Devices (PFD's/lifejackets). PFD's must be worn while on the water. Kayaks & Paddles. All participants will be paired with friends/family in double kayaks (2-person). Single kayaks are very limited and are reserved for odd-numbered parties. Participants will never be paired with an unknown member of the public. Safety: Kayaking is a very safe outdoor sport, however, the conditions will be the biggest risk to your safety. Bring sun protection, hat and/or sunglasses, and water (even in the winter), and be prepared to get wet from the knees down as kayaks are pushed off into the water from the shore. Tours will cancel/reschedule for excessive wind, heavy rain, or lightning. No experience necessary: Your volunteer naturalist guide will begin with a quick Intro to Kayaking safety lesson for the group and show you all the skills needed to explore again on your own.

San Mateo Peak Day Hike

NOV 13-24 - OCLB - San Mateo Peak Day Hike This day hike is ideal for slower hikers. This trail goes to San Mateo Peak in the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness. We will start at the true trailhead for the Morgan Trail on S Main Divide Road, at 08:00. It is best reached from I15. The round-trip distance is 4.4 to 4.7 miles if we just go out and back. The peak is 3591’, the elevation gain is 950’. It will take about 2.5 hours. We will stay together as there are some tricky turns at the start. The views from the peak are spectacular. Depending on how we feel at the peak, we can retrace our steps, or add about 1.5 miles to the total and do a loop. The loop is better. -------------------------------------------

Great Outdoors 48th All Chapter Conference and Campout

Join Us for the 48th Annual All Chapter Conference and Campout Hosted by GO Santa Barbara / Ventura County chapter. The conference will be held at the beautiful Cachuma Lake. The weekend theme is 'Into The Woods with the Great Outdoors—A Weekend Full of Adventure' Our story begins FRIDAY afternoon as we welcome friends from every Great Outdoors chapter to beautiful Lake Cachuma. After settling into camp, join us for a GO-SBVC hosted Tea, a casual opportunity to enjoy light refreshments and to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Dinner is on your own. As the evening falls, we'll gather for a special guest presentation in the spirit of celebrating the good nature of the Great Outdoors. SATURDAY morning we wake to a hearty breakfast provided by GO-SBVC before the day's adventures begin. Great Outdoors Officers and Core Group members will gather for their annual corporate meetings, where the business of our organization is conducted. Anyone interested in learning more about how Great Outdoors operates or seeing the process firsthand is welcome to attend. For those not attending the meetings there are several ways to enjoy the day. Local GO-SBVC members will lead you on a scenic guided hike through the beautiful Lake Cachuma area or guide you through an excursion into the nearby Santa Ynez Valley wine country. If you'd rather explore on your own you can visit the beautiful new Chumash Museum and Cultural Center to learn about the rich heritage of the area's original inhabitants or try your luck at the nearby Chumash Casino Resort, both just a short drive away. Before everyone heads home on SUNDAY morning, we'll share a GO-SBVC provided continental breakfast, exchange hugs and goodbyes, and bid farewell until our paths cross again on another trail.
