AXP Partner Spotlight: Laguna Playhouse

As part of its mission to enrich lives through the magic of live theatre, to provide educational opportunities for children and adults, and to create experiences that stiumulate cultural and social interaction and inspire our community, the LagunaPlayhouse has been bringing music and theater to California since 1920.

Thanks to the generosity of the Laguna Playhouse staff and supporters, arts-X-pressers in Week 3 will have the opportunity to attend a performance of "My Way" at the Playhouse this summer. The Pacific Symphony is grateful to its cultural partners for helping make it possible for arts-X-press students to attend high-quality performances as part of their immersion experience.
