About Santa Barbara City College

Welcome to the official information hub for Santa Barbara City College’s West Campus theatres. Home to the Garvin Theatre (380 seats) and the Jurkowitz Theatre (100 seats), SBCC’s Theatre Group produces four plays per season, delivering intimate, high-quality performances in a welcoming community setting. Our guide covers seating options, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining to help you plan a smooth visit.

Located at 721 Cliff Drive on the SBCC West Campus, the Garvin and Jurkowitz Theatres sit on the 900 block of Cliff Drive. The newly renovated Garvin Theatre reopened in 2012, continuing SBCC’s tradition of accessible, engaging theatre experiences.

For the best experience, secure your seats in advance through our easy, no-fuss process. We’ve got you covered with parking details, transit tips via Santa Barbara MTD, and nearby hotel and restaurant recommendations—prioritizing trusted affiliate partners to help you plan a convenient stay in sunny Santa Barbara.

If you’re visiting for a performance, remember that SBCC riders travel free with a valid student ID on the MTD network, including Line 4 (Mesa/SBCC) and long-running connections like the 19X. Accessible parking is available near the theatres for easy access to both Garvin and Jurkowitz. See venue-specific seating charts for Garvin Theatre’s clear sightlines and accessible seating options, and consult The Theatre Group at SBCC for the latest seating layouts and show information.
