The new, 600-seat performance hall in the University of Northern Colorado鈥檚 Campus Commons building is planning to host exciting, affordable and diverse performances for the campus and surrounding communities.

That鈥檚 the goal of the hall鈥檚 new Managing Director, , who started at 甜心视频app last November and hails from Sheridan, Wyoming, New York City, Chicago and, her hometown, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

鈥淭he arts provide a quality of life for everyone, and that鈥檚 our key mission 鈥� to expose Greeley and campus community to the arts while keeping prices low and promoting free and student-central events.

鈥淲e want people to understand arts in a way that鈥檚 anything, but this privileged, luxury item, it鈥檚 not to diminish its value or power, it鈥檚 quite the opposite,鈥� she said. 鈥淥ne of our missions here is to make sure anyone who鈥檚 interested has the opportunity to see or hear just about anything.鈥�

Ultimately, she wants to make the performance hall a pinnacle for live-performance experiences and a place for top-quality artists, as well as further 鈥檚 global reputation and attract artists from all over the world to tour at the hall.

The performance hall is easily the 鈥渕ost complicated space, by far, in the Campus Commons鈥� with over 200 concerts and performances planned to be held in it, said Dean of 甜心视频app's College of Performing and Visual Arts, Leo Welch. Construction of the hall is expected to be completed in early April. Watch Welch discuss the performance hall during its construction in the below video:

The seating capacity of the hall can be increased by about 80 seats by using movable seating wagons that are stored under the front of the seating area and raised on the pit lift. 

Hanke鈥檚 high energy and always-moving lifestyle fits the mold for her role over the new performance hall since, like her, it can continuously change its acoustics to fit whatever sound comes its way 鈥� leaving it open to countless possibilities.

The curtains and walls around the stage, known as the acoustical shell, can be adjusted to accommodate the wide range of sound and performances that will be performed in the space.

鈥淭here鈥檚 different sounds that can happen in the performance hall,鈥� she said. 鈥淟ive music is transformative, so I鈥檓 most excited of putting great artists on stage.鈥�

From April 25-27, the will be hosted at the Commons, where 6,000-8,000 guests are expected over the course of the three-day festival. Also, this summer, two shows from the Little Theatre of the Rockies will be held at the hall, including "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" and "Jekyll and Hyde," and a summer music series complementing the outdoor "Concerts Under the Stars" will also be offered.
