From the president

On behalf of our entire campus community, welcome to Fitchburg State University! We’re very pleased to again be hosting the Region I Kennedy Center Theater Festival. The previous festivals we have hosted have been great successes, and it has been a pleasure to meet so many of the students and witness their performances. The quality and variety have been extraordinary, and we all have reason to be proud of our region’s many triumphs.

On a personal note, I would like to recognize our English/theater, technology and cultural aff airs departments. We at Fitchburg State have become accustomed to hosting outstanding productions, whether by our own theater groups or national- and world class visiting performers. All who dedicate themselves to mounting these productions refl ect the larger campus, which has established a reputation for its relentless drive towards excellence in all that it does.

While North Central Massachusetts is alive with the arts, few institutions can lay claim to the depth and breadth of the productions off ered at Fitchburg State. We are the cultural center of the region, which dovetails with our larger eff orts to reach out to the community and truly add to the richness of our citizens’ lives.

The festival off ers students so many opportunities—the rigors and excitement of competition, of course, but also the chance to learn from faculty and fellow students, and to grow both professionally and personally. These are noble goals, and we welcome the chance to assist them.

In closing, I’d like to thank those members of the regional community who have stepped forward to help us with hosting this year’s Kennedy Center Events.

Once again, welcome and best wishes. I look forward to personally greeting many of you during your stay in our community.

Sincerely,

Robert V. Antonucci President, Fitchburg State University
