The Estancia High School Drama Boosters proudly announce the success of their recent fundraiser, The Curtain Rises, which raised over $240,000 to support the school’s renowned drama program. The event, held on October 18th, celebrated the completion of the $42 million theater at Estancia High School and honored the two individuals connected to the new theater, Barbara Van Holt and Pauline Maranian. The sold-out event took place at the Costa Mesa Country Club. Presenting sponsors were longtime Estancia drama supporters Lee and David Chemel, along with alum Michelle Noh.
