Santa Barbara School of Performing Arts was founded by Dauri Kennedy and Jessica Hambright in 2012. Formerly Big Stage Productions, SOPA offers pre-professional training for students interested in the performing arts. There are three "tracks" offered to students, which are determined by age and auditions.
