The Orange County Performing Arts Center’s Free for All series continues this summer with its immensely popular free Movie Mondays on the community plaza. As Orange County’s place to experience the best and brightest Broadway shows live on stage, Movie Mondays offers the biggest and most popular musical films under the stars and all for free. This summer’s movies include: the original version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder, which is being presented in partnership with public radio station KCRW-Santa Monica (89.9. FM and KCRW.com); the beloved tale of Annie starring Albert Finney, Carol Burnett and Bernadette Peters; the 80s smash-hit Footloose featuring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer and John Lithgow; and the international sensation Mamma Mia! with Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.

Guests are encouraged to bring beach chairs or other easily portable seating items, and are also invited to bring snacks and picnics. Set-up begins at 5:30 p.m. with the movie starting at dusk (approximately 8 p.m.).

Samantha Brown Advisory Panel

Wednesday, Apr 22, 2009 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM, Samueli Theater

We would like to offer the chance to high school seniors to take part in an advisory panel to help the creators develop the show. Participating seniors would attend on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 7:30pm and then again on Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 7:30pm at no charge. After each performance, the creators of the show would like to invite the students to share their feedback and ideas regarding the story and production. This will last approximately 45 minutes after the performance. We are also working with the company on dates that students could come in after school and observe some of the rehearsal process and ‘tweaking’ of the show. This is a unique opportunity for southern California seniors to help shape the future of this show before it goes to New York. Students should R.S.V.P to us directly at 714.556.2122 x 4333, Option 4.
