WELCOME TO THE COLLEGE OF THE AR TS First, I’d like to start off by saying something I have looked forward to saying for a very long time: “Welcome back!” Welcome back to live performances and in-person exhibitions; welcome back to the thrill of sitting in a darkened theatre or concert hall, waiting with palpable anticipation as performers fill the stage; and welcome back to the very personal experience of being in the presence of an artwork that moves you or challenges your expectations. We’ve missed you.

While away from campus, our students continued to create, learn, rehearse, and perform – sometimes in the tiny boxes we’ve all grown accustom to viewing from home – as they prepared for the moment they would once again feel stage lights shining on them. As you can imagine, they are more than ready to perform in front of a live audience! This season, we are offering both on-campus and live streaming options for many of our Department of Theatre & Dance and School of Music performances to accommodate a variety of patrons. With enhancements to our HVAC and air filtration systems, we are also able to provide students with the full breadth of our first-rate performance facilities and numerous art galleries where they perfect their craft daily.

In returning to campus, we can once again deliver the full scope of immersive academic experiences and opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration that make our college a living laboratory for the arts. Here, success is measured in lines of dialogue, sheets of music, and slabs of clay as our students, faculty, and staff work together to present concerts, exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and performances to 40,000+ visitors annually.

This would not be possible without the support of our community. As a leading CSU in the arts, we are an essential part of the cultural fabric of Southern California, providing transformational experiences to our students, community, and beyond.

If ensuring the arts remain at the forefront of higher education in Orange County is a passion of yours, I encourage you to support the College of the Arts at any level by donating to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence today (arts.fullerton.edu/giving).

Thank you for joining us for another season of theatre, dance, music, and visual arts.

Our doors are open, and we can’t wait to put on a show for you!

Land Acknowledgement The Department of Theatre and Dance acknowledges our presence on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Gabrielino/Tongva Nation. We want to acknowledge that this space we are occupying today is not an invisible space, or an imaginary space-- it is a lived space, a physical space, a stolen space. We pay our respects to the Indigenous land caretakers past, present, and emerging.

We invite you to acknowledge the land in which you occupy and their respective Indigenous stewards in the comments/chat before the performance. If you’d like to know more information on Indigenous communities in our area or your own, please utilize the resource below and consider giving back to Indigenous Communities during these difficult times.

INSPIRING TITANS TO REACH FORWARD The College of the Arts creates a unique learning environment, encouraging individual achievement and artistic expression in 2,700+ student artists, performers, and scholars.

As a college, we inspire our students to reach not only higher but forward as they take steps toward realizing their full potential as artists and innovators through a rich variety of artistic opportunities. This takes exceptional faculty members, state of the art facilities, and support from community members like you.

The Dean’s Fund for Excellence provides resources for students to engage with leading artists through masterclasses and artists’ residencies; travel to competitions and workshops; and the practical application of industry-standard technology and equipment in the classroom, all of which have a huge impact on the educational experience of our students.

Change the lives of these aspiring artists by making a gift of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence.
