The Santa Barbara Civic Light Opera (SBCLO) was a theatre company in Santa Barbara, California. It put on hundreds of performances
in the Lobero Theater, and later the Granada Theater in Santa Barbara before going bankrupt. The company was founded by Paul
Iannoccone and Elise Unruh in 1984 and continued to produce shows until filing for bankruptcy in 2001. The organization transformed
into the short-lived Musical Theater of Santa Barbara (MTSB) before finally discontinuing productions altogether. "Santa Barbara
