Casa innovates programs to meet a need in
the community as well as collaborating

School Outreach
We strive to give children in South Orange
County new experiences in the arts -
especially through music and theater.
Often, when we present artistic talent for
a performance at Casa Romantica, we ask
the performers to add an afternoon on
Friday or Monday to appear at local
schools. Examples of past school programs
include actress Melissa Stevenson's
"Biologues for Women," the Black Irish
Band's collaboration with the music
department at San Clemente High School,
and classical guitarist Brad Richter's
performance for elementary school
children.
Ongoing.
Speaker Series
As the cultural anchor of its community,
Casa Romantica offers diverse
opportunities for learning about
specialized areas of interest through its
Speaker Series. People such as Orange
County archivist Phil Brigandi and
anthropologist Claire Cesara-de Silva have
spoken at the site, and future speakers
will address issues ranging from gardening
to historic restorations to the art of
Southern California.
Ongoing.
Field Trip Programs
Casa Romantica offers a variety of educational and curricula-based field trips, including programs that focus on water conservation and coastal ecology.
Artistic Workshops
Our facility has a 1000-square-foot
Creative Workshop designed for hands-on
activities like classes in gardening and
arts and crafts. The facility will be used
to expand opportunities in the creative
arts and horticulture for both young
people and adults beyond what is currently
available in the community.
