Letter From the Superintendent of Schools 

The Broward County Public School system is facing unprecedented reductions in the classroom due to state budget 

reductions. Broward schools face millions of dollars in cuts resulting in a close examination and review of all district and 

school based programs. From our first budget workshop through our public hearing process, the School Board of 

Broward County has stood steadfast in their support of the arts, specifically the Student Enrichment in the Arts (SEAS) 

program. The School Board of Broward County is committed to educate the total child. The arts are a critical component 

of our educational programming, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Through the SEAS program, students become 

appreciators and producers of the arts. SEAS is a national model and the leading arts in education program in the nation. 

The School Board of Broward County is proud to continue its investment in students by continuing the SEAS program. 

The SEAS program was formed through a collaboration between Broward County Public Schools 

and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in March 1990. Through this partnership, the school 

system has exclusive use of the Broward Center’s Amaturo Theater during the day throughout the 

school year. The SEAS program offers a visual style of learning by integrating arts such as music, 

dance and drama into the students’ education. 

More than 125,000 students are transported each school year to the Broward Center to attend 

SEAS programs. What makes the SEAS program truly unique is our commitment to provide artistic 

opportunities to all students free of charge. Regardless of socio-economic standing, the SEAS 

program is available to all schools, teachers and students. This ensures that all students have 

the opportunity to become appreciators and producers of the arts. 

The Broward County Public School system and Broward Center for the Performing Arts continue to be on the 

cutting edge of education. To complement SEAS, the Reading Residency program was designed to improve reading and 

verbal understanding for economically disadvantaged students. All Title I second and fourth grade students read either 

Stone Soup (grade 2) or Charlotte’s Web (grade 4) and attend a performance of the same titled book at the Broward 

Center. The Reading Residency program focuses on story sequencing, plot development and inferences. Study guides 

aligned with these three areas are designed to make connections for students between the performances and the 

book. Last school year approximately 20,000 Title I students participated in the Reading Residency programs. 

The Broward County Public School system is further committed to assist students in developing their artistic talent in 

post-secondary institutions. The Arts for the Future Scholarship Fund is a community-wide initiative to promote artistic 

career opportunities for graduating high school seniors. Over the past ten years, more than $515,000 in scholarships 

have been awarded to students pursuing education in the arts. Arts for the Future is the largest scholarship program 

devoted to the arts in the state of Florida. 

This year’s season of high quality shows covers a wide spectrum including history and diversity, which are targeted 

to improve reading and literacy. We are pleased to kick off our 2009-2010 season with the national tour of 

Sesame Street, which has assisted students in reading, math and life skills for decades. 

Through SEAS, reading and literacy come alive on stage! 

Sincerely, 

James F. Notter, 

Superintendent of Schools

10th Anniversary Arts For The Future 

ARTS FOR THE FUTURE 

SCHOLARSHIP FUND 

10 Years of Success 

Supporting Stars of Tomorrow 

The Arts for the Future Scholarship Fund celebrated its ten year 

anniversary this year by awarding scholarships to 58 talented 

seniors from 28 Broward County high schools. 

Founded in 1999 by the School Board of Broward County, 

Sharon Brooks, Director of Education at the Broward Center, 

and public relations executive Elaine Azen-Lampl, this communitywide 

initiative was created to provide funding for gifted and 

deserving high school seniors who wish to continue their 

studies in the performing, visual and technical arts. 

Since its inception, the Arts for the Future Scholarship Fund has 

grown into the largest scholarship program of its kind in Florida, 

with over 500 scholarships granted to students to date. 

The milestone tenth anniversary celebration featured a number 

of special events including a performance of The Nutcracker 

performed by the Miami City Ballet, a Valentine’s Day Tea at the 

Riverside Hotel, and a shipboard luncheon hosted by the Holland 

America Line aboard the ms Maasdam. Ten Arts For the Future 

Community Leadership recipients were recognized as 

long-time supporters of the program, and guests were treated 

to performances by several scholarship awardees. 

“I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to you for this scholarship…You are 

giving so many students with potential the final push they need to make it.”

From the President of the Broward Center 

Dear Educators, 

I am delighted to welcome you and your students to another exciting season of educational programs and 

performances at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. As many of you know, busloads of students 

arrive here nearly every school day as part of the SEAS program, an award-winning educational partnership 

with Broward County Public Schools. As we enter our 19th season, we hope that you will find once again 

that the offerings of the SEAS program will give your students unique learning opportunities that enrich 

and enhance their experiences in the classroom. 

Literature-based shows. Science and math productions. Dramatizations 

of key historical events. An immersion into the music, dance and traditions 

of different cultures. Our SEAS program offers vibrant shows covering 

themes that reinforce classroom learning, directly aligned with FCAT topics 

and the core curriculum. You’ll find that reading-based performances are 

highlighted throughout the year, as the SEAS program brings literature 

to life on stage. 

Each year, we also offer a wide variety of professional development 

opportunities for educators designed to complement and reinforce teaching 

techniques, including Cultural Adventures for Teachers, Workshops-to-Go, 

Discover Broadway, SEAS Plus and Teachers’ Lounge. We hope you’ll 

take advantage of these engaging workshops and master classes. 

In May 2009, the SEAS partnership was recognized by the Broward Alliance with its prestigious “Educational 

Excellence Builds Business Partnership Award” for integrating arts, drama and a visual style of learning into 

our students’ lives and their education. A growing body of research demonstrates that learning through the arts 

helps our students to achieve at higher levels, giving them valuable skills to succeed, from creativity and improved 

literacy to higher levels of motivation and enhanced cognitive development. Whether learning science concepts 

or multi-cultural traditions, SEAS performances help to make learning fun. Connecting the arts to academic 

lessons is a proven strategy that helps close the achievement gap and bring learning to life, advancing our 

shared goal to “educate the whole child”. 

As President/CEO of the Broward Center, and as the father of three, I’ve had the opportunity to witness 

firsthand the significant impact of our education programs on our students, teachers and the community. 

In these challenging economic times, I am especially pleased that this partnership continues to flourish. 

We hope you will take advantage of these unique learning tools by making the SEAS program part of your 

lesson plan in the coming year. Together, we will continue to invest in our students as the innovators 

of tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you at the theater! 

Kelley Shanley 

President and CEO

Your SEAS Team 

Dear Educator: 

In 1991, the “Student Enrichment in the Arts” (SEAS) program was founded by the School Board of Broward 

County in a unique partnership with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Since that time, it has flourished 

into one of the top “Arts-In-Education” programs in the nation. Selected as a member of the John F. Kennedy 

Center: Partners in Education team in Washington D C, the school district is committed to assessing and implementing 

programs that increase engaged learning, and ultimately achieving the goal of educational success for all. 

The SEAS Department is proud to be able to serve and assist you with study guides, 

lesson plans, FCAT topics and classroom curriculum which are aligned with the Sunshine 

State Standards. There is no better way to improve student achievement than by challenging 

students academically through the arts. 

The arts provide educational connections with a touch of style and grace that cannot be 

replicated anywhere else but at the theater. Students have the opportunity to learn about a 

variety of subject matter prior to each show through study guides sent to teachers. All will then 

experience live performances that support the classroom curriculum like no other. More than 

250 performances and workshops are provided each year for students and educators. 

As you look through our 2009-2010 SEAS catalogue, we are confident that you will find 

everything you need for an enriching year of learning through the arts. 

It is our hope that together, we can guide our students toward a greater and richer future.

Your SEAS Team 

DEAR EDUCATOR: 

WELCOME TO OUR EXCITING 19 th SEASON. In 1991, we began the Student 

Enrichment in the Arts (SEAS) program. What a difference those 18 years have made. 

MORE THAN 2 MILLION STUDENTS have attended professional, world-class performances that 

are FREE to all Broward County Public School students K-12, including those with special needs. 

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT’S READING INITIATIVE FOR 2009-2010 will be the focus of SEAS 

programming this year. The performances will integrate Reading, Literature and Language Arts 

with the Florida Sunshine State Standards curriculum connections and the FCAT Reading Topics.

STUDY GUIDES AND RESOURCE MATERIALS are distributed to each teacher prior to 

attending performances with their students. 

EVALUATION FORMS are distributed at each performance. Narratives on how a 

performance was integrated within the classroom curriculum are requested. 

TRANSPORTATION COSTS are partially subsidized by the school district. Schools are 

responsible for 50 percent of transportation costs with the support of their community 

partnerships and parent organizations.

VSA ARTS – BROWARD, THE ANNUAL VERY SPECIAL ARTS FESTIVAL, will again be 

presented by the SEAS program, bringing together students with, and without, disabilities 

to work and learn through the arts. 

BANK OF AMERICA CULTURAL ADVENTURES FOR TEACHERS are bringing new 

levels of teamwork and creativity into the classroom to help use the arts as learning tools 

for student achievement. 

THE ARTS FOR THE FUTURE SCHOLARSHIP FUND provides scholarships to graduating 

seniors in Broward County Public Schools. Each year over $60,000 is awarded to students who 

will pursue the arts in their post secondary education. 

SEAS READING RESIDENCIES ensures that all Title One second and fourth grade students in 

Broward County Schools will attend performances of selected stories from the district Basal 

Reading Curriculum. The Reading Curriculum Trainers, Reading Resource Specialists and classroom 

teachers at each elementary school will use the performance to improve plot development, 

story sequencing, and inference skills for reading achievement. 

SEAS PLUS, through the Riverwalk Arts & Entertainment District, will provide expanded opportunities 

for students attending SEAS performances at the Broward Center. Students will have the opportunity 

to visit the cultural sites along the Riverwalk either before or after the SEAS performance. This will 

enable them to spend an entire school day learning through the arts in many different ways.

Our Ongoing Commitment to Education 

EDUCATION – A CORE VALUE 

Promoting education is one of the core values of the Broward 

Center for the Performing Arts and an integral part of our 

mission. At the heart of our commitment lies the belief that 

learning in and through the arts can serve as a powerful tool for 

student achievement in your classroom curriculum. The season 

ahead offers a wide range of opportunities for both students and 

teachers to explore the arts through performances, workshops 

and special discounts. We hope that you will join us as we 

fulfill this important goal – “Arts in Service of Education.” 

A SHARED VISION 

Our partnership is one of the most unique in the nation. No 

other collaboration between a school district and performing arts 

center presents professional performances for more than 100,000 

students annually, at no charge to their families. Our national awardwinning 

SEAS program has shared the wonder of live performances 

with more than two million students since its inception. 

The success of our partnership is based on a shared vision that 

is focused in three specific areas: 

1. We combine forces to ensure that all students achieve 

at their highest potential by supporting Broward Public 

School curriculum and academic learning through the arts. 

2. We encourage professional development for educators by 

providing the expertise and resources required to promote 

best classroom practices for teaching through the arts. 

3. We recognize and celebrate the academic and cultural 

achievements of both students and teachers. 

Together, the Broward Center and Broward Public Schools 

continue to provide one of the best performing arts and 

education programs in the nation. 

ACCESS FOR ALL

with disabilities to participate in the SEAS program and all other

Florida Sunshine State Standards 

The Sunshine State Standards are high levels of expectations for student achievement in Florida. These standards identify what students should 

know and be able to do after they complete grades PreK-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The subject areas included are language arts, mathematics, 

science, social studies, the arts, health and physical education, and foreign languages. Sunshine State Standards are organized by strands, 

standards and benchmarks. For easy reference, each of these is assigned a unique identification code, e.g. 

LA. A. 1. 1. 1. 

STRAND: a label for a category of knowledge, such as 

reading, writing, measurement or economics. 

Subject Area 

Strand Level 

Standard 

Benchmark 

STANDARD: a description of general expectations regarding 

knowledge and skill development within a strand. 

BENCHMARK: a statement of expectations about student 

knowledge and skill at the end of each developmental level. 

The first two letters of the code identify the subject area (LA=language arts, MA=mathematics, SC=science, SS=social studies, HE=health 

education, PE=physical education, FL=foreign languages, and in the arts, MU=music, VA=visual arts, TH=theater, DA=dance). The third 

letter identifies the strand. The number in the fourth position identifies the general standard under the strand. The number in the fifth position 

identifies the developmental level (1=grades PreK-2, 2=grades 3-5, 3=grades 6-8, 4=grades 9-12). The last number identifies the benchmark 

under the grade cluster within the standard. 

All performances listed in the brochure will address the following standards; specific standards related to a performance will be listed under 

each individual show.

Can you imagine a composer of music who cannot hear? Beethoven takes you on a musical journey through the history of his era (1770-1827), 

while experiencing the “science of sound”, the American Revolutionary War era and the political turmoil of the Napoleonic era. This performance

This African myth and folk tale was created to answer a young child’s common inquiry of “why?” Many folk tales and myths passed down from 

generation to generation share what is important in a culture and celebrate traditions. In Africa, stories were told around the fire each evening not 

only as entertainment, but to teach and inform younger generations. It is our responsibility to continue the traditions that came before us and explain 

“why” and “how” they came to be. As we share the stories of Rabbit, Python, Monkey, and Mosquito, we pass them on until they become a part 

of who we are.

Imagine the excitement a young boy would find along Fort Lauderdale’s New 

River at the turn of the last century! Frank Stranahan’s trading post (circa 1901) 

on the northern bank was the hub of activity. While Seminoles gathered on 

the shady porches to trade their otter hides and gator eggs, Frank’s wife, Ivy (the area’s first school teacher), taught the young Seminole 

children to read. Storytelling: Mitchell’s Magical Day with Frank & Ivy Stranahan brings the colorful history of Fort Lauderdale to life for 

young readers through tales of historical fiction. Participants will tour the Stranahan House Museum, have ‘hands on’ experiences and 

will engage in interactive storytelling using the book, Mitchell’s Magical Day with Frank & Ivy Stranahan. Broward County Public Schools 

elementary sites use these books as a supplement to the social studies curriculum; copies of the text were provided to elementary 

schools as a gift from Stranahan House through state and local grants.

In today’s technological world of rapid change, glamorous celebrities and sports stars make the likes of Benjamin Franklin seem an old 

bore, while a generation of students born after the Civil Rights Movement must be taught about it in school. Storytelling and historical 

portrayal can make history jump off the written page. This workshop will explore historical people and topics, plus dress, housing, 

work, food, transportation, etc., of their times, which will serve as springboards to demonstrate how students can read, research, 

write and retell the stories in vignettes, plays and monologues that turn “then” into “now.”

FCATS, yet, unlike taking a test, it becomes a fun, challenging activity that integrates listening, rhyming, speaking, rhythmic and vocabulary
