the Jaguar’s Nest A staged reading of a new play

Produced by Maria Lane Ross

Story by Maria Lane Ross

Written by Ed Giron & Maria Lane Ross

Directed by Ed Giron

The Jaguar's Nest is a fictional story of an individual's struggle against a society that neglects mental illness. Funny, irreverent, dramatic, and sometimes heartbreaking! The story reflects a woman's struggle within herself and with a failed system, where when everything looks to be stripped from you, if you still have hope, miracles happen.... Our journey progresses with situations that are comedic, some sad, some joyful, just as in life. The mix of elements of the work are thought-provoking, without being heavy-handed & light, with some hard punches of reality to show what does not work in our society. The story portrays the main character both in the present tense and younger, intertwining what was, what is, what could have been, and a mixture of reality and supposition that acknowledges whether we are diagnosed or not, we all live in a pretty surreal world! Written and directed by the esteemed Ed Giron. We anticipate and encourage a lively discussion at our Q&A sessions following each performance. These performances benefit Peoples' Self-Help Housing, with the specifically designated purpose of providing emotionally challenged, low-income residents of Santa Barbara complimentary access to the exquisite cultural events Santa Barbara has to offer!
