Performances at CI range from world premiere original works to modern takes on Shakespeare to classics of the musical theatre canon like CABARET to the ground-breaking interdisciplinary, student research-based creations of our annual Arts Under the Stars extravaganza.
Performance Fest 2022
Performance Fest 2022 will mark CSU Channel Islands’ 20th Anniversary by revisiting defining moments from the past with help from two guest artists.
The show celebrates performance then and now with original and adapted works by students in collaboration with faculty and guest artists Dan Kwong and Joyce Lee. Kwong and Lee each led multiweek workshops with PA/ART 191 Production and PA/ART 391 Advanced Production students. Past moments that have shaped us are re-imagined for today and the future.

Puffs
The parody “Puffs or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic” was chosen for the Performing Arts Spring Production because the Performing Arts program currently includes several students with a gift for making people laugh.

Arts Under The Stars: Channels Island's Annual Integrative Extravaganza
Arts Under The Stars is a campus wide research and creative performance event that brings the entire campus and community together. Subjects ranging from transgender bullying, bird migration, cancer cells, the Santa Rosa Island research station, and feminist mythology have all been presented as multi-media spectacles that speak to the heart and mind. Student and faculty researchers, creators, performers, and visual artists collaborate to bring campus, regional, and global issues to life. The May 6, 2023 Arts Under the Stars performances focus on the theme of PERSEVERANCE.
As in past years, AUTS has been on the forefront of partnering performance with digital technology. Mobile device programs offered in English and Spanish, augmented reality scavenger hunts, and an interactive website have all been student driven innovations reflecting our culture, green movement, and untethering capabilities.
