ANNUAL REPORT.Indd E N R I C H I N G L I V E S T H R O U G H I N S P I R I N G EXPERIENCES CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS @ PENN STATE ENRICHING LIVES THROUGH INSPIRINGANNUAL REPORT EXPERIENCES 2006 - 2007 DEAR FRIENDS, The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State seeks to create life-enriching expe- riences, and in 2006–2007 that vision was realized in many ways. This report drama- tizes in words and pictures many of those experiences, which touched the lives of so many this past season, and credits those who helped us have such a successful year. Look inside for features on several projects, programs, and initiatives undertaken by the Center for the Performing Arts. From a signifi cant renovation of Eisenhower Auditorium to a week-long residency by the Actors’ Gang, from presenting the world premiere of a work co-commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts to bringing a noted student ensemble together to perform with a world-renowned artist, from celebrating our beginnings fi fty years ago as the Artists Series to staying on the cutting edge today, it’s all here in this annual report. Many wonderful performances brought the magic of the performing arts to more than 52,000 people. A host of educational activities—complementing our presentations—connected tal- ented artists with the University and community,. All this would not happen without the many patrons, members, sponsors, and supporters who give so generously to help make the Center for the Performing Arts truly vital to the life of our community. As this report demonstrates, they have a lot for which to be proud. To all, we off er our heartfelt thanks. We also want to express our gratitude to Yvonne Gaudelius, who served with distinction as in- terim dean of the College of Arts and Architecture in 2006–2007. She led the college admirably, provided great support to the Center for the Performing Arts, and, despite her busy schedule, regularly attended our presentations. The college is better off thanks to her leadership. Great artists bring experiences that inspire us and connect us to the human spirit each time the curtain rises. We salute the wonderful artists who graced our stages this past season. Their artistry inspires all of us associated with the Center for the Performing Arts to remain committed to the work of this great organization. Sincerely, Barbara O. Korner, Dean College of Arts and Architecture George Trudeau, Director Center for the Performing Arts 1 REBOUNDED ATTENDANCE AND UPGRADES TO MAIN VENUE HIGHLIGHT SEASON Red Grammer The Center for the Performing Arts 2006–2007 season was characterized by a rebound in attendance, expanded program off erings, the completion of renovations to the main facility, special projects, continued partnerships, and increased support from a variety of people and organizations.
