Teacher, students honored for special effects

David Scaglione, a longtime Orange Coast College technical theater

coordinator, and his students were recently honored by the City of Orange

for their participation in the city’s anti-drunk driving program for

teenagers titled “Every 15 Minutes.”

The program is a two-day event dramatizing the effects of drunk

driving. Scaglione and his students helped make the presentation seem

real by donating their time to apply theatrical makeup on 20 “victims”

involved in mock accidents.
