Greetings from the College of the Arts! It’s so good to have you back, and we have an exceptional spring season planned for you. With programming ranging from groundbreaking theatre productions to World-Premiere concerts, our spring offerings seem to shine a bit brighter this semester. On January 28, we kicked things off with the Visual Arts Modernization Project Preview Event and groundbreaking ceremony. More than 100 invited guests joined us for a sneak peek of the project as they engaged with some of the latest technology-driven art tools, experienced AR/VR project demonstrations by visual arts students, and viewed scale models of the complex.

When completed, this renovation will transform our campus and community, positioning CSUF’s visual arts program – the largest in the Cal State system – as a leader in cutting-edge art education and practice within the CSUs. Follow our progress and join us on this extraordinary journey at art.fullerton.edu/vamod.

This season’s fresh slate of visual arts exhibitions and performing arts concerts and productions are sure to keep you coming back to campus! Beginning February 18, Begovich Gallery presents the exhibition “Figures, Poses, and Glances: The Coded Illustrations of J.C Leyendecker,” at MUZEO Museum & Cultural Center, exploring the coded depictions of queer culture in the eradefining images of this early twentieth-century American illustrator. The School of Music honors Black History Month with a performance of “Symphony No. 1 in E minor” by composer Florence Price – the first Black female composer to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra. In Theatre, Maria Cominis’ “Women of Zalongo” weaves together the experiences of four generations of Greek women into a story of resilience, struggle, and survival. And in May, our student dancers and choreographers collaborate in rhythmic, expressive movement as “Spring Dance Theatre” returns to the Little Theatre.

Our diverse programming mirrors the diversity of the College of the Arts and is a testament to the values we hold. We embrace the possibility inherent in each of our students and celebrate their successes alongside them on their path to becoming future artists, educators, performers, and arts professionals. As patrons, donors, friends, and family, I know you also champion their success.

Demonstrate your commitment to the future of the arts by supporting the Dean’s Fund for Excellence at any level. Donate today at arts.fullerton.edu/giving.

I invite you to visit to campus our again for another performance, or to check out our progress as the Visual Arts Modernization Project moves into the next phase of construction. You may have even seen the walls of one of our new buildings going up along State College Blvd! Whatever brings you here, welcome. We are so proud to show you all that the College of the Arts at Cal State Fullerton has to offer.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE In institutions of higher learning across the country, we are seeing schools adapt to meet the needs of the students who will be forging careers in today’s musical landscape. Whether it is the addition of an office of entrepreneurship, additional focus on the business of music, or an entire reimagining of the curriculum, it is necessary that we all do our part to help steer these musicians toward success. So, who are the musicians of the 21st Century? They are critical thinkers, they are socially conscious and are good stewards, and their musical gifts are wide and varied. These are some of the reasons you are seeing Kurt Weill’s amazing work, Street Scene. Not only does it blend opera with musical theatre and jazz, which requires our musicians to have a flexibility in their approach to music-making, but the subject matter will surely make one consider what it means for each of us to be a good neighbor, and to be a part of a community that helps one another and celebrates our differences, knowing that we are stronger together.

To mount a production of Street Scene is a mammoth undertaking and one that could not happen without having the forces required to do the work justice. I am overwhelmed by the support of my colleagues in the College of the Arts, who are too many to name and thank, and I am inspired each day by the talent and work ethic of our students, which have combined to create the performance you are now witnessing. I hope you enjoy the show!

Kerry Jennings, Director of Opera

ABOUT THE OPERA ACT I Outside a multi-ethnic Manhattan tenement on a sweltering summer evening, some women are passing the time (Ain’t It Awful, the Heat?) while the janitor takes out the garbage (I Got a Marble and a Star). The women switch to gossiping about Anna Maurrant’s extramarital affair with Sankey the milkman (Get a Load of That); they stop when she enters. Mrs. Maurrant and young Sam Kaplan, who is in love with her daughter Rose, converse as Mr. Buchanan frets about his wife’s impending childbirth (When a Woman Has a Baby). Then Anna’s brutish (and suspicious) husband Frank arrives and demands to know why Rose hasn’t come home from work. After Frank goes inside, Anna pours out her frustrations and broken dreams, even as she continues to hope for a better life (Somehow I Never Could Believe). When Sankey walks by, Anna follows him, fueling the neighbors’ gossip (“Get a Load of That” reprise). Lippo Fiorentino arrives with ice-cream cones for everyone, providing relief (comic and otherwise) from the heat (Ice-Cream Sextet). Frank, not amused, rails against kids today and modern society (Let Things Be Like They Always Was). The Hildebrand family enters, about to be evicted from their apartment because they can’t pay the rent, even though oldest daughter Jenny has just won a scholarship (Wrapped in a Ribbon and Tied in a Bow).

The building’s denizens retire for the night. Sam stays outside to lament his isolation in the midst of so many neighbors (Lonely House). After Sam goes in, Rose Maurrant finally enters, escorted by her lecherous boss Harry Easter. Easter tries to seduce her with promises of a show business career (Wouldn’t You Like to Be on Broadway?), but Rose rebuffs him (What Good Would the Moon Be?). Easter leaves as Frank enters.

Mrs. Buchanan goes into labor, and Rose exits to summon the doctor. Mae Jones enters with Harry Easter who drink and dance the night away (Moon-Faced, Starry-Eyed).

When Rose returns, Mae’s brother Vincent makes a pass at her. Sam comes out to defend her, and Vincent knocks him down. Rose comforts Sam, and the two share their dream of escaping the tenement’s squalor (Remember That I Care).

ACT II Scene 1 Early the next morning; Rose’s younger brother Willie and the other children play on the sidewalk (Catch Me If You Can). Buchanan’s wife has given birth. Rose tells Sam she is on her way to a funeral. Frank says he is going out of town, but he gets truculent when Anna asks when he’ll be back. Rose tries to convince Frank to be kinder to Anna, but he rejects her advice (There’ll Be Trouble). After Frank leaves, Anna sends Willie off to school, telling him that he will make her proud some day (A Boy Like You). Rose tells Sam about Harry Easter’s offer. Appalled, Sam pleads with Rose to elope with him now; she considers the idea (We’ll Go Away Together) but decides she needs to think it over. Rose leaves for the funeral, and the city marshal arrives to evict the Hildebrands, as Sam remains seated on the stoop. Mr. Sankey enters and Mrs. Maurrant invites him up to her apartment. Suddenly Frank reappears. Sam tries to warn Anna, but to no avail. Frank rushes upstairs and shoots Anna and Sankey, who drops dead. Frank escapes in the confusion as an ambulance, policemen, and crowds mob around. Rose returns from the funeral just in time to see her mortally wounded mother carried off on a stretcher (The Woman Who Lived Up There).

ABOUT THE OPERA Scene 2 Later that day, two nannies push their baby carriages in front of the tenement and gossip about the murder (Lullaby). Rose returns from the hospital where her mother has died. As Sam and his sister Shirley try to comfort Rose, more shots ring out: Frank Maurrant has been captured by the police. Now remorseful, Frank awkwardly tries to explain to Rose why he committed the murders (I Loved Her Too) as the police lead him away. Sam once more declares his love and implores Rose to go away with him, but she has decided that she must go off on her own (Don’t Forget the Lilac Bush).

As evening approaches, the denizens of the building once again sit on the stoop as if nothing happened, gossiping and complaining about the heat (“Ain’t It Awful, the Heat?” reprise).
