Nearly two decades after promising to build a state-of-the-art performing arts complex at Estancia High School, Newport-Mesa Unified School District officials have broken ground on the $42-million project. Construction began last Friday on the east end of the Costa Mesa campus along Placentia Avenue, an act being celebrated by those who've long awaited an arts venue comparable to other NMUSD high schools. 'This new theater represents the start of an exciting new chapter, where lifelong memories will be created for students and audience members who step through the new doors,' Estancia drama director and instructor Amber Marroquin said in a statement Wednesday.
