23rd annual cast of Summer at the Center

Greer's Girl Kelley Moody covers the 23rd annual cast of Summer at the Center at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa on Saturday for Greer's OC TV.

This award-winning program provides 36 at high-risk and underserved youths facing personal challenges a safe environment in which to grow, trust and develop self-esteem and positive goals. Using a musical theater format, SATC professional teaching artists create daily lessons and exercises that engage participants in fun, creative and productive ways.

Following their hard work during the two-week program, the students performed a Broadway revue-style show in Samueli Theater. The performances are part of Segerstrom Center’s Free for All Series, which allows guests to experience different aspects of Center’s artistic and education programs at no cost.
