Arts-X-press is a summer arts immersion program for 7th and 8th grade students created by the Pacific Symphony in celebration of Cole Carsan St.Clair. 150 students are nominated by teachers throughout Orange County to come together for 5 days of creative exploration each summer. The program has two goals: 1) To expose students to all 5 performing and visual arts; and 2) To foster respect for and interest in each student’s individuality, talents, interests, and background.

Parade!

Resident Coordinator Leah here filling you in on yesterday's excursion of "Parade" at the Chance theater. Although "Parade" was presented in a musical format, it dealt with heavier topics involving murder, xenophobia, and the rumors and lies that can spread in a small town. Although the setting takes place in 1913, a lot of these topics are still relevant today.



After the Show, we participated in a talk back where we were able to ask questions to the actors and staff at Chance Theater. One of the actors, Madison Miller, was even an Arts-X-Press alumni! We learned so much about musical theater, and we can't wait to explore even more artistic mediums!
