Segerstrom Center for the Arts is committed to providing all residents in this region with opportunities to enhance their knowledge of and appreciation for the performing arts. This includes students from elementary school through the university level, educators and individuals who simply want to broaden their experiences but not in a structure that is strictly academic. These programs achieve two especially important objectives: they develop the audiences of the future and, by integrating the arts into the standard curriculum, enhance learning, creative thinking, cognitive and social skills.
On Stage at the Center offers distinguished performing arts companies from around the world who present educational programming to local students. These shows are designed as a starting point to stimulate greater understanding and appreciation of the performing arts. Teacher and student activity guides are developed for each event to continue the learning experience after the performance.

An adaptation of the childrens’ book by French author Michel Tournier, Pero (or the Mysteries of the Night) is the story of Pero, a baker in a tiny Italian village. When the girl he has loved since childhood runs off with a flashy house painter, his heart is broekn and he closes his shop – too sad to bake for the village. Actors, puppets, singers and live musiciams tell this charming storey.
