Reimagine the Colorado Springs City Auditorium
The Grand Old Lady, Directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Julie Speer Jackson. The film takes a look into the history of the 100-year-old City Auditorium and explores the Community Cultural Collective’s vision of the future of the building.
City Auditorium will facilitate education, access, creation, and presentation of all that builds the human spirit, arts, culture, performance and dialogue. This cherished and valued building will be restored to its original intent of bringing all citizens together for a variety of purposes, primarily to celebrate the glory of the city as the plaque above the historic state declare: Usui Civium Decori Urbis "for the use of the people and the glory of the city".
Testimonials
"There is a strong vision of collaboration that emanates from the envisioned auditorium's new spaces. Every day it will be filled with voices and music and creativity. What historian wouldn't want that kind of energy with which to plan?"
