"The Young Artist Project will make it possible for young people to have their visions come to life in a major Southland venue," said Cisneros.  "They will contribute to a performance that is completely written, created and performed by some of Southern California's brightest young artists.  It should be as exciting for the audience at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts as it will be for these future stars to test their talents."

"Because it is a fluid rehearsal project, as much for development and encouragement of the talent as to prepare for a specific performance, the great benefit for the participants will be the immersion into a real working environment" he said.
