HBAPA Holds Middle School Outreach Performance

The Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts, a magnet program for the Huntington
Beach Union High School District, is seeking to bridge the gap between middle and high schools by
offering a middle school outreach to local intermediate schools, in a first-ever Middle School
Outreach Event.

Huntington Beach, CA, October 06, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The Huntington Beach Academy for the
Performing Arts (APA) will be hosting a “Mary Poppins” Outreach Performance for local middle schools
on Friday, October 19 at 11:00 a.m. The performance will be followed by an interactive “talkback”
between students and the “Mary Poppins” cast and crew.

The outreach event will aim to bridge the gap between middle and high school as 582 middle school
students are welcomed to APA's HBHS campus. Nine middle schools will be in attendance, with
complimentary tickets and transportation provided by the Educational Enrichment Foundation for the
Arts (EEFA). The students will receive a special sneak-preview performance of the Academy's upcoming
production of “Mary Poppins.”

After the performance, students will be invited to engage in a collaborative talkback session with the
show's APA student cast, technical crew, costumers, and orchestra.

“APA is in the process of heightening our presence among middle schools,” says Zach Edwards, APA's
Outreach Coordinator. “We're excited to be sharing the arts with these younger generations!”
