Every work of art begins with something deeply felt: an idea worth pursuing, a question that begs exploration, a story or sound or image that asks to be brought into the world. But making the work is only part of the experience. Art also asks to be seen, heard, and shared. From the moment the semester begins, our students pour every bit of themselves into their work. Then after hours of practice, days of preparation, and months of refinement, the audience becomes a privileged participant in a powerful, shared moment. It can happen in a gallery or on a stage. Sometimes it strikes when a choir’s transcendent harmonies send shivers up your spine. Or when you lose yourself inside the details of a photograph or are transported to another time and place inside a darkened theatre. These are the moments when we stop watching and start seeing. If you have experienced moments like these, support the artists that make them possible by donating to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Your generosity will help to ensure students have access to meaningful on- and off-campus opportunities including artist’s residencies, masterclasses, conferences, and intensives that empower their creativity. Shape the future of the arts today. Consider a gift of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Thank you for joining us for the College of the Arts’ Fall Events Season. There is so much to explore. From new artistic perspectives and compelling stories to bold visions and timeless favorites. Let’s discover where this season takes us, together! Be Well, Arnold Holland, Ed.D Douglas G. Stewart, Dean of the College of the Arts

Thank You’s A Special Thank You to Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble for contributing to the vision of our production.
Director’s Note There is so much to say about this musical. It’s the first one that truly made me feel I could breathe in and be a part of it. For me, it’s really the “Finale,” the last song, that brings everything home. It starts as a quiet, dramatic moment that goes almost unnoticed but then builds into something meaningful, powerful, and purposeful. As Usnavi takes in the mural commissioned by Sony and created by Graffiti Pete, everything changes. He reflects, “There goes my flight… You gotta go now, tell the whole block I’m stayin’!... I’m a streetlight… I illuminate the stories of the people in the street… I know them all, and that’s what makes my life complete.” The feeling of completeness and purpose is truly fulfilling. Usnavi’s ability to preserve the stories and memories of the people who have made a home for him has become both his legacy and his purpose. As the song continues, he joyfully declares, “I’m home!” Understanding what “home” means, whether literally or metaphorically is a powerful experience. As a storyteller, my mission is to illuminate stories and voices that are hidden, nearly lost, and sometimes drawn from my own experiences. There is a profound sense of being seen in this process. As I navigate through my work, my creative journey, and my life, I often find myself feeling lost. During these times, discovering “home,” understanding where I come from and what it means to exist, grounds me and helps me find my way back. “Home,” in whatever form it may take, is often what is needed to feel centered and empowered to move forward. To connect the text more to your personal note, you can reflect on your own experiences and feelings that relate to the themes presented in “In The Heights.” Here’s a way to integrate your personal insights: As I delve into the themes of “In The Heights,” I find that Alice Coleman’s (Head of Drama, The Braeburn School, who directed in 2023) words resonate deeply with my own journey. “In The Heights” is a tale that resonates deeply with our own lives. It’s about the dreams we hold close to our hearts, the importance of cultural identity, and the power of unity within a community. Through the streets of Washington Heights, we embark on a journey filled with hope, love, and the pursuit of a better future.” Like many, I have dreams that I hold dear, and I often think about how my cultural background shapes my identity. The musical reflects the importance of community, which I’ve experienced firsthand in my own life. For instance, growing up, I witnessed the strength of unity among friends and family during both joyous celebrations and challenging times. It reminds me of the power of support within my own community, how we uplift one another in our pursuits. Just like the characters in Washington Heights, I cherish the sense of hope and the pursuit of a better future, as it mirrors my own aspirations. “In The Heights” captures not just a story, but a shared experience that resonates with many, including myself—a beautiful reminder of the dreams we all chase and the communities that help us fulfill them.

A Dramaturgical Note by Kate Chenault, Nico Miniati, and Ashley Calles 1961 Following the assassination of Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Trujillo, many fled the country and headed towards New York, specifically to Washington Heights, in search of safety and better jobs. Named after Fort Washington, which was set up to block the British from accessing the Hudson River during the Revolution, Washington Heights is roughly located between West 155th Street and Dyckman Street in Manhattan. It became known as the “Little Dominican Republic” due to this influx of Dominican immigrants. 1965 There was another influx of immigrants into Washington Heights due to the US invasion of Santa Domingo. Since then, the Washington Heights community has flourished and expanded, creating a center of immense diversity and many cultural traditions. Some of the main demographics of Washington Heights include Dominicans, (44% of the population), Puerto Ricans, (5.4% of the population), and Mexicans, (3.9% of the population), just to name a few. Walking through Washington Heights today, you may be able to hear merengue and bachata music. You might see fruteros vending their frutas picadas, or smell pupusas and chicharrón.You may even be able to enjoy a carnival celebration if you visit in the spring. 1999 Lin-Manuel Miranda was just a 19 year-old sophomore at Wesleyan University when he began the lengthy process of writing what would become In The Heights as we know and love it today. While it did open the next year as a one-act “hip-hop version of Rent,” it went through eight more years of edits and revisions before it was produced on Broadway in 2008. Miranda originally felt called to write In The Heights because of the lack of representation he saw on Broadway of his culture beyond the stereotypical “thug” or “gangster.” 2004 Qiara Alegría Hudes joined Miranda as the co-playwright of the show, seeing as she agreed with his inspiration and wanted to be a part of the creative process of such a monumental show. The Hispanic/Latine experience didn’t seem to have an authentic voice within the Broadway community, so Miranda and Hudes finally did something about it. 2025-2026 Families have consistently been torn apart due to the many ICE raids that are happening all over the country–including in Washington Heights. A majority of the families that are targeted and affected are of Hispanic/Latine descent. For this reason, it is so important that we highlight the beauty of Hispanic cultures in the theatre we produce, and that we welcome the community it brings to audiences around the world, even in the darkest of times. Stories like “In The Heights” are ones that need to be told now. Today “In the Heights” is such a meaningful story to tell at CSUF at this specific time for a multitude of reasons. We are a designated hispanic-serving institution with 56.3% of our school’s population being Hispanic and Latine. There are also many first-generation students who could see themselves reflected in one of the characters onstage and leave the show feeling empowered, fulfilled, and with the idea that they aren’t alone. At a time like this, when people are terrified that at any moment they could be at risk for being deported regardless of their immigration status, it can be hard to find reasons and ways to celebrate their heritage and to remember that their culture is something to be proud of. “In the Heights” shows so much of what there is to celebrate and helps to remind people of the joy that is at the heart of these communities.
