SCERA’S HISTORY In 1933, Orem was a sprawling town of 3,000 struggling through the devastating effects of the Great Depression. Concerned about the morale and well-being of their fellow citizens, a group of local leaders pooled their resources and their vision to create SCERA. They envisioned SCERA as the community’s gathering place—a place for neighbors to come together, to create friendships, to relax, and to be entertained. From those humble beginnings has come a nonprofit organization dedicated to the arts, to the family, and to youth. SCERA has now evolved into Utah Valley’s community arts leader. With our focus on family-friendly entertainment, we have remained dedicated to serving and unifying the community through involvement in the arts. SCERA’s educational programs and performing arts seasons have been enjoyed by millions of Utah County citizens over our seventy years of service. SCERA was founded in a spirit of volunteerism and loyalty that remains today. Over 400 youth volunteers annually receive job training and a love of community service at each of SCERA’s facilities. As SCERA grows and improves, the dream of our founders has become an evolving reality that validates their vision. Those who live in our community are proud of this unique organization that has garnered attention state-wide and nationally. SCERA’S MISSION STATEMENT SCERA provides and facilitates quality arts and entertainment programs that enrich, strengthen, and unify the community.
