Curtain CALL All eyes—and bodies—will be on stage when dancer and creator Kerrilee Gore and Zen Arts bring their mesmerizing show WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT to the Lobero Theatre from October 20 through 22. Guests literally sit on the stage, which is transformed into a curated lounge space with chairs and sofas, for this intimate theatrical experience (tickets from $44, seating is limited) that combines burlesque, cabaret, multimedia, acrobatics, and aerial performing. The choreographer and dancers have worked on tours with performers including Britney Spears
and Madonna, while Depeche Mode founder Martin Gore (Kerrilee’s husband) contributed to the music. Gore calls the show dark, sexy, quirky, dreamy, fun, and edgy. “I was inspired by David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock, and Pulp Fiction,” she says. “It is my hope that you leave yourself at the door and enter the world of When the Lights Go Out. It is what happens inside your dreams, between the sheets, and in the secrets that we keep.” 33 E. Canon Perdido St., Santa Barbara, 805-963-0761.
