Campus Life Spring Sing 2022!

At Spring Sing, Westmont students from each residence hall produce Broadway-style skits and compete for prizes and bragging rights. The longest-running tradition on campus, this event involves more students than any other Westmont activity. Performers in Spring Sing use song, dance and an occasional faculty/staff guest appearance to tell a story about this year’s theme.

Spring Theme!

Spring Sing 2022: And We're Back!

The 61st annual Spring Sing is almost here! As the show makes its return to the famous and beloved Santa Barbara Bowl, the Spring Sing Student Committee found it more than fitting to incorporate a matching theme to go along with the glorious return.

The goal of a Spring Sing theme is to provide a general atmosphere within which individual halls can uniquely interpret it's title and incorporate it into their skits. From the perilous accounts of "Houston, We Have a Problem" (2008) to the reminiscences of "Four Score and Seven Years Ago" (2018), Spring Sing themes have covered much ground (so long as that ground stays on the stage). As we return to another season of Spring Sing, "And We're Back!" invites halls to present their creative interpretation of a story that incorporates a return to that which once was!

About Spring Sing

About Spring Sing

Spring Sing is admittedly a wonderful and challenging event because of the breadth and scope of the program and its audience. It has long been the policy and practice of Spring Sing to err on the side of caution and limit any content that could be confusing, misinterpreted, or potentially offensive. The care and dialogue required for important conversations, specifically on critical topics like race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are simply not present in the fast-moving, comedic venue that is Spring Sing. For many years, the Spring Sing team has taken a cautious approach to minimize potential offense or confusion. While the product is never perfect it is intended for a broad and general audience. Spring Sing staff would welcome any follow-up questions or discussions on our policies or practices. 

Have more questions about Spring Sing and/or our policies, practices, and values? Call (805) 565-6826 or email springsing@westmont.edu

You may purchase all admission tickets online through AXS or in person at the Santa Barbara Bowl Box Office. There are two ticket types available: Preferred Seating and general admission (see below for more details). Preferred seating is more limited in quantity than general admission.

Preferred Seating

Preferred Seating is a way of reserving your seat at the Santa Barbara Bowl for the event. In addition, preferred seating is closer to the stage than general admission seating. Show up whenever you would like and enjoy a great view!

General Admission Seating

General admission seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Given the size of the Santa Barbara Bowl, tickets are not likely to sell out, but the earlier you arrive the greater your chances are of sitting closer to the stage!

Important note: prices listed below are that of tickets purchased at the Bowl Box Office on the day of the event. Due to added AXS taxes and fees, online ticket prices may be slightly higher.

Preferred Seating Tickets

Adults (ages 12 & up) $40

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Tickets

Where can I buy a ticket?

Tickets are sold through AXS (pre-sale) or at the Bowl Box Office on the day of Spring Sing.

Didn't Westmont use to sell tickets on campus?

Yes. We used to sell tickets on campus but due to a variety of reasons we are now selling only through AXS.com or The Bowl Box Office.

Will Spring Sing sell out?

With a venue the size of the Santa Barbara Bowl we do not expect to sell out of seats and you should be able to buy general admission tickets on the day of the show from the Box Office.

But we do anticipate the reserved seats to sell out…so order yours early if you’d like a reserved seat!

Where will I be sitting if I purchase a general admission ticket?

Take a look at the seating chart. Your general admission ticket will allow you to sit anywhere in sections A-I. This is marked "reserved" on the chart because it is reserved at other performances. For Spring Sing, this is our general admission area. Keep in mind that with the exception of a handful of seats, this section is first come first served! Doors open at 5:15pm and people arrive early!

Where will I be sitting if I purchase a Preferred/Reserved ticket?

These tickets save you a seat in the preferred seating section. Take a look at the seating chart. Your reserved ticket will save you a seat in Sections J - O.

Why buy a reserved ticket?

Reserved tickets give you the freedom to arrive at the show minutes before and still have a great seat.

 

Parking

Where can I park?

There are three parking options:

1) Street Parking: keep in mind that parking is limited and you might need to walk a bit.  Please do not block any driveways or park in “no parking” zones.    

2) Santa Barbara High School (700 E. Anapamu Street) for a service fee.  It is conveniently located across the street from the venue. Most people do this. 

3) Bowl Parking Lot Pass for (price pending).  Spots are limited and can be purchased in advance or at the Bowl lot if space is still available. The day of the show the online reservation is closed and spots can only be purchased directly at the Bowl lot.

Why should I buy a Bowl Parking Lot Pass?

Reserved seating is great if you just want to guarantee a good seat. A Bowl Parking Lot Pass will give you the luxury of showing up later than the crowd and having a parking spot reserved. Grab dinner before the show, pull into a saved parking spot, and go find your reserved seat!

Where do I pick up my parking pass?

There will be no physical parking pass. When you order a Bowl Parking Lot Pass you will receive a confirmation email and your name will be added to the parking list. Please be ready to show ID upon arriving at The Bowl so we may check for your name on the parking list.

 

Other Details

Is there food at Spring Sing?  Should we eat dinner beforehand?

Yes to both! Limited concessions will be sold at the show.

What time do the doors open?

The doors open at 5:15pm.

What time does the show begin?

The start time of the show is pending, but will likely be 6:30pm

What time will the show end?

We expect the show to last for about three hours.  Due to county ordinances, we are required to be done by 10:00pm. 

What else do I need to know?

It gets cold when the sun goes down.  Bring some layers or a blanket.

Do NOT bring coolers, large bags, folding chairs, or picnics.

What if it rains?

The show must (and will) go on. Bring a rain jacket!  But kindly refrain from using umbrellas during the show.

In the unlikely event that weather interrupts the show, we will communicate any necessary information.
