“We are very pleased to again offer our Six Days of Broadway summer musical theater camp to many of
Orange County’s talented young students,” said Terrence W. Dwyer, president of Segerstrom Center for
the Arts. “We are fortunate to have been able to assemble a teaching team comprised of some of the
most accomplished and respected artists in the business. Along with training in all aspects of performing
for the stage, program participants will be provided with valuable career guidance. We look forward to
welcoming them to the Center and watching their progress during the Six Days of Broadway program.
Hopefully, one day we will see our program graduates appearing as part of our Broadway Series.”

elementary school through the university level, teachers, arts administrators and individuals who simply
want to broaden their own experiences but not in a structure that is strictly academic. These programs
achieve two especially important objectives. First, they develop the audiences of the future. Second, they
integrate the arts into the standard curriculum and enhance learning, creative thinking, cognitive and
social skills. The Education and Community Programs Department works hand-in-hand with a number of
boards of education, providing support and assistance to ensure the success and effectiveness of the
Center’s programs.
The popular Family Series engages, enchants and inspires youngsters with the magic of live
performance. International artists combine music, dance and theater that can be enjoyed by the entire
family, creating experiences that instill an appreciation for the arts and create lifelong memories. For more

throughout Orange County and beyond, including international ballet and dance, national tours of top
Broadway shows, intimate performances of jazz and cabaret, contemporary artists, classical music
performed by renowned chamber orchestras and ensembles, family-friendly programming, free
performances open to the public from outdoor movie screenings to dancing on the plaza and many other
special events. It offers many education programs designed to inspire young people through the arts.
These programs reach hundreds of thousands of students of all ages with vital arts-in-education
programs, enhancing their studies and enriching their lives well into the future.
In addition to the presenting and producing institution Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the 14-acre campus
also embraces the facilities of two independent acclaimed organizations: Tony Award®
-winning South Coast Repertory and a site designated as the future home of the Orange County Museum of Art.
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is also proud to serve as the artistic home to three of the region’s major Six
