South Coast Repertory was founded in the belief
purpose, mission, and goals.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in
that theatre is an art form with a unique power to
illuminate the human experience. We commit
ourselves to exploring urgent human and social
issues of our time, and to merging literature,
design, and performance in ways that test the
bounds of theatre's artistic possibilities. We
undertake to advance the art of theatre in the
service of our community, and aim to extend that
service through educational, intercultural, and
community engagement programs that
harmonize with our artistic mission.
This mission directly informs our operations,
programming, and organizational culture. It
guides how we choose our seasons, which
artists we support, how we collaborate with our
audiences, and how we serve the broader
community. It is reflected in our commitment to
developing and producing new work (356
commissions and 161 world premieres to date)
and in our role as a national leader in new -play
development through The Lab@SCR and the
Pacific Playwrights Festival.
Locally, we serve as a cultural anchor in Orange
County, offering year-round opportunities for
connection and creative expression. Our Theatre
for Young Audiences productions, free and
subsidized ticket programs, acting classes, and
school -based residencies reach thousands of
students and community members annually,
many from underserved populations. These
programs are not add-ons, but central to our
identity as a theatre committed to artistic
innovation, accessibility, and meaningful public
service.

description of the need and on what you based
your findings (i.e. "Based on a study done by the
PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th-

affluence, there remains a clear need for
accessible arts education and live theatre

no training with musical instruments." ) Describe those from underserved backgrounds.
how you have determined that your organization
is the best organization for the proposed project/
program.
The Newport -Mesa Unified School District
(NMUSD), which serves Newport Beach,
educates approximately 18,000 students, with
approximately 47% qualifying for free or reduced -
price lunch. These figures demonstrate that a
substantial number of students face economic
barriers that can limit access to arts enrichment
opportunities. At the same time, ongoing
underfunding of arts education at the local and
national levels has left many schools without the
resources to offer consistent, high -quality
performing arts experiences.
SCR's Education and Access initiatives include
Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA), Theatre
Access, and MyStage. These programs are
designed to address this need by providing free
and low-cost performances, transportation
assistance, and curriculum -aligned educational
materials. In recent seasons, TYA has served
thousands of elementary school students,
including significant participation from NMUSD
schools. Additionally, through Theatre Access
and MyStage, SCR provides more than 1,500
free tickets annually to our mainstage
productions to local schools and community
organizations, including those serving Newport
Beach residents.

theatre while fostering creativity, imagination,
and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
For the 2025-26 season, SCR requests a
Cultural Arts Grant to support Cinderella: A Salsa
Fairy Tale, a bilingual, family -friendly musical
written by Karen Zacarias with music by Deborah
Wicks La Puma and directed by Sara Guerrero.
This lively production reimagines the classic
Cinderella story in a contemporary, culturally rich
context, blending salsa and hip -hop music with
themes of teamwork, sportsmanship, and
respect. Sweet Cenicienta speaks Spanish, while
Rosa, a star basketball player, speaks English,
creating a playful, bilingual dynamic that teaches
cultural awareness and linguistic appreciation.
The production is staged on SCR's Julianne
Argyros Stage as part of the Theatre for Young
Audiences & Families program.
The season includes 28 performances from
February 20 through March 8, 2026, including 14
free school -day matinees for local students,
particularly from Title 1 schools within Newport
Beach. To ensure equitable access, SCR will
provide bus transportation subsidies for schools
that require financial support. Paid public
performances will be available to families and the
broader community, ensuring wide accessibility
and engagement.
Each TYA production maintains the same
professional standards as...
... SCR's adult programming, featuring high -
caliber actors, directors, designers, and
production teams. Educational materials,
including program booklets and study guides,
accompany each performance, offering teachers
the tools to integrate the play's themes into
classroom learning and reinforcing its social -
emotional and cultural lessons.
To address the evolving needs of the community,
SCR will provide one sensory friendly/relaxed
performance. This performance is designed, but
not limited to, audience members on the autism
spectrum, those with sensory sensitives or
learning disabilities and their families. SCR
partnered with The Autism Community in Action
(TACA) to address specific changes to
production elements and lobby configurations.
By providing free tickets, transportation, and
high -quality educational resources, SCR ensures
that Cinderella: A Salsa Fairy Tale reaches
students who may not otherwise have the
opportunity to experience live theatre. This
program cultivates creativity, cultural literacy, and
critical thinking, positioning SCR as a leader in

For the 2025-26 season, South Coast
Repertory's Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA)
program will continue its commitment to
providing high -quality theatre experiences and
arts education to young audiences in Newport
Beach, with particular attention to students from
underserved communities. The TYA production
of Cinderella: A Salsa Fairy Tale will be offered
free of charge to elementary schools in the
Newport -Mesa Unified School District, ensuring
that Title 1 students have access to professional
theatre.
Heavily subsidized paid performances with
affordable tickets starting at $25 will also be
available to the general public, extending the
reach of the program to families and children
throughout Newport Beach. Through a
combination of free school -day matinees,
transportation subsidies, and accessible public
performances, TYA ensures equitable
participation for young people regardless of
socioeconomic status.
In total, SCR anticipates serving approximately
7,500 individuals through TYA performances in
2025-26, with nearly 50% of attendees being
elementary school students in Newport Beach.
The production directly targets children in grades
K-6, emphasizing inclusivity and access for
students who might not otherwise have the
opportunity to engage with live theatre. By
offering bilingual, culturally responsive
productions like Cinderella: A Salsa Fairy Tale,
SCR also provides exposure to diverse
languages, storytelling traditions, and social -
emotional learning, helping students develop
cultural awareness and respect.
Through these efforts, SCR's TYA program
continues to foster a lifelong appreciation for the
arts while providing meaningful educational
enrichment for children and families across
Newport Beach.
