Summer at the Center (SATC), Segerstrom Center for the Arts' program for high-risk and underserved teens, will have its 27th annual session July 16 - 27. The program offers high school-age teens facing personal, behavior and emotional challenges a safe environment in which to gain self-esteem, confidence, attainable goals and the tools needed to develop positive relationships throughout their lives with peers, family and adults. SATC professional teaching artists use elements of musical theater to engage participants in fun, creative lessons and exercises.

The two-week program includes vocal training, dance, improvisation, audition techniques and stagecraft, with a special emphasis on how these presentation skills translate into success in their personal and professional lives. On Saturday, July 28 at 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in Samueli Theater, the students will perform a Broadway revue-style show demonstrating their newly discovered talents developed through teamwork and collaboration. The performances are free and open to the public; no reservations are required. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. More information is available at www.scfta.org/satc.
