About KAR Front Seat
Sponsored by KAR Global, the Center’s KAR Front Seat program invites small groups of students with interests in the performing arts to talk with seasoned performers and production professionals about the influences and experiences that brought them where they are today.
High school or college students interested in the performing arts may apply to be part of the conversation by submitting a question they would like to ask during the event. Please also include student name, grade level, and name of school currently attending, to Outreach@TheCenterPresents.org. Questions should be submitted by September 16. Ten students will be selected to interact with the Performing arts professional.
