Welcome to the College of the Arts fall 2023 performing and visual arts season. I am so proud of the collaborative efforts our faculty, staff, and students have undertaken to produce such a wide array of programming across four disciplines. It takes months, sometimes years, of work to create what you are about to enjoy – a commitment matched only by our collective passion for the arts. Each year, the college presents a wide variety of programming that reflects our diverse perspectives. In Theatre, the season begins with a stage adaptation of the hauntingly emotional novel and film “Let the Right One In,” which reveals both the darkest impulses of humanity and our universal desire for connection. Acclaimed 1975 hit musical “A Chorus Line” gets a fresh update by Marty Austin Lamar and Courtney Ozovek that will immerse audiences in the audition process of a Broadway show. In the School of Music, the Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and University Symphony Orchestra perform together in the first ever “Fullerton Pops!” Also in November, Begovich Gallery explores the midcentury architecture and aesthetics of our original Visual Arts Complex in the exhibition “PAST FORWARD.” While Begovich Gallery looks back at our historical beginnings, we continue to push toward the future as the Visual Arts Modernization Project (VA MOD) rapidly transforms the campus. Our complex’s two new buildings are fully framed, architectural details have been installed, and extensive interior renovations on two existing buildings are nearing completion. These changes bring years of dreaming and planning into sharp focus, but there is so much work yet to be done. From exterior paint to integrate our past and present buildings, to restoring the beloved “Water Wall” sculpture, to new software that will power the next generation of digital artists, there are many ways you can make a difference. Visit the VA MOD web page for more details (art.fullerton.edu/va-mod). The ways in which our students will benefit from the modernization project are as limitless as their imaginations, and as assured as our commitment to their success. In the College of the Arts, we measure student achievement in creativity, artistic integrity, and dedication, not in data points or statistics. We know you support our students because they give to you through their artistry – it’s something you feel, something that moves you. By strengthening this powerful bond, you empower students to thrive by supporting their creative and academic success. If you share in the belief that the arts matter, please consider a donation of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence (arts.fullerton.edu/giving). Whether this is your first theatre production or your twenty-first concert, know that you are an appreciated member of our Titan community. Thank you for joining us today and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Sincerely,
Arnold Holland, Ed.D Dean, College of the Arts

A Chorus Line Program Notes A Chorus Line debuted on Broadway at the Shubert theatre in 1975. The original musical collaborators included a book by James Kirkwood Jr. and Nicholas Dante, music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban with Michael Bennett as director and choreographer. It was the first Broadway musical to focus on the chorus of dancers and their personal lives revealing a side of “show business” heretofore deemed not interesting enough for subject matter for an American musical even though the dance chorus is vital to a musical’s success. The multitude of dancers auditioning and making the chorus were thought to be expendable, unimportant because the emphasis was on the major roles and the promotion of and interest in its casting of individual actors and their unique talent. The musical went on to win the 1976 Tony for Best Musical (beating Bob Fosse’s Chicago) among several awards spread amongst collaborators. A Chorus Line was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1976 as well. In 1983, A Chorus Line celebrated being the longest-running musical on Broadway.

Director’s Note: Marty Austin Lamar Long before I witnessed A Chorus Line on stage, I was aware of its heart. I was aware of its message of passion and sacrifice. I was aware of its musical score and stories shared through the choreography and the music. Beyond all of this I was aware of its transformative power that reminds all of us to persevere, stay focused, and silence the noise that often keeps us from our best selves. A Chorus Line is not a period piece. It is an iconic work of art that illuminates the plight of dreamers. A work as rich as this cannot be confined to a year. Micheal Bennet’s vision and Marvin Hamlish’s score are a clarion call reminding us to hold fast to dreams and maintain the unwavering belief in self. Be it on a Broadway stage, a board room, or a classroom, any measure of success is equally defined by great triumph and great tribulation. At its core, A Chorus Line celebrates that journey. This work celebrates the courage needed to put yourself on the line in pursuit of your dreams. Some regard A Chorus Line as a dance show. I completely agree. This timeless work dances through movement, song, and text synthesized with heartbreak, humor, loss, and memory. The dance that you will witness is grounded in the truth of an industry that leaves so many out. It is my hope that one day this industry will address the systemic inequalities of race, sex, gender, and opportunity. All should be welcomed to the dance. The cast of artists featured on the Little Theatre’s stage have overcome and silenced any noise that suggests that they don’t possess the grit, talent, or fortitude to tell this iconic story. I continue to be inspired by their advocacy, determination, and immense effort during this process. Just as Michael Bennet used community and collaboration to empower storytelling, my esteemed colleague and I desired to do the same. Our vision was considered risky by some but the community of designers, faculty mentors, technical experts, and departmental leadership sojourned with us. I honor each of you for your support and sharing of your gifts and immense skills. During this process I have faced much. There have been moments of great joy. There have been moments of great distress. Through it all God has provided wisdom, restraint, and clarity of purpose. To my supportive family, community of friends, James, and the great cloud of ancestors that surround me, I am forever grateful for your prayers and heartfelt love. To my dear friend and co-director, Courtney Ozovek, thank you for your genius, laughter, advocacy, and kindness. You approached every moment with fresh eyes and completely new choreography. I celebrate you and I look forward to all that God has in store for you. Finally, James Baldwin states, “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.” It is my sincere hope that each of us will continue to demand change in the theatre industry, theatre education, and the hiring of theatre artists. Join me as we stand on the line with these essential workers tasked with telling the story of humanity. Thank you for supporting Theatre at CSUF and enjoy the show! Marty Austin Lamar
Director’s Note: Courtney Ozovek One. Singular. Sensation. When a hard-working cohort of collaborative artists join to experience and share in that one, singular sensation, what is revealed is the culmination of commitment, time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears that it takes to pour into the magnitude of what is A Chorus Line. As a mover, I have always been intrigued by the weight of this show. We all have a movement journey full of complex history, intimacy, passion, and knowledge. These journeys capsule the stories of our lives, our triumphs, and our challenges. We hope that our journey culminates in self-discovery and yields a movement language that is uniquely our own. As a choreographer, I was not interested in restaging the genius choreography of Michael Bennett. Just as he created the movement from his kinesthetic history, I wanted to create from my lifelong experiences and knowledge accumulated over the course of my movement journey. I wanted to support the cast’s desire to push beyond their assumed limits and challenge the expectations they have for themselves. The journey to create, adjust, and develop a language in the show was truly a gift and I have enjoyed sharing this movement journey with this specific cast at CSU Fullerton. Thank you to the cast for trusting me and for trusting us throughout this process. I am so deeply proud of you all. There are no words to express my sincerest appreciation to my Associate Choreographer, Amber Dupuy. Our collaborations throughout many years have always brought joy and light to each process. Your time, energy, and professionalism were integral to this process. Thank you for always going above and beyond. I could not have done this without you. To my co-director, collaborative partner, and friend, Marty, I cannot express the level of gratitude I have for your continued willingness to support my vision for the show and together take risks in creating our interpretation to this work. Your artistic voice and encouragement of the students is something that I will never forget. There are no doubts that you were brought into my life for several reasons, and I am excited to see where our future collaborations take us. We have been the true definition of team, and it was an honor to create with you. Thank you all for joining us and I hope that you enjoy the experience of our One. Singular. Sensation.
