Cal Poly Arts
A Letter from Cal Poly Arts Director, Molly Clark

Welcome to a new season of Cal Poly Arts—one that invites you not just to attend, but to experience something extraordinary.

This year, we’ve created a season driven by bold imagination and artistic ambition designed to transport you, spark curiosity, and bring our community together in meaningful and unforgettable ways. At its best, the performing arts do more than entertain—they unite and invite us to see the world with greater openness and share in something profoundly human.

This season, you’ll encounter artists shaping the sound of America, experience extraordinary performers from around the globe, and enjoy a thrilling Broadway lineup. As you explore the 2026–2027 season, we hope you feel what we felt while creating it: excitement, wonder, and a sense of possibility.

Because this isn’t just a lineup of performances—it’s an invitation. To gather. To discover. To be moved.

We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to share this season with you!
