SANTA BARBARA - Eight Santa Barbara City College students recently were named recipients of the Sara Evelyn Smith Scholarships in Theatre Arts and the Phyllis Mailes Memorial Scholarship for Actors.
The $1,000 scholarships are awarded annually to SBCC theatre arts students who attended local high schools, maintain high academic achievement, and demonstrate performance talent and experience. The scholarships are named for the late Sara Smith, a local teacher and philanthropist who spent over 50 years in theatre arts education, and the late Phyllis Mailes, who directed, organized and participated in neighborhood and community theatre projects in the San Fernando Valley. The students recently performed their winning monologues from artistic works of their choice at the SBCC Interim Theatre.
