"Performing arts are an essential component of an enriched and well rounded education. Participation in the arts fires creativity and energy within the individual, while promoting cultural growth, strength and awareness for both the artist and the community as a whole. Performing arts transcend the horizons of language, culture and society and allow us to explore human potential at the greatest depths and elevations."
- Larry Penley, President - Colorado State University
