“Our single ticket on sale date is always a highlight day for us,” says Cal Poly Arts Director Steve Lerian. “The response so far from the community in purchasing season subscriptions has been extraordinary. We’ve been presenting world-class performances in San Luis Obispo for the past 35 years, and I am confident in saying that this is one of, if not the, finest collection of artists and companies we have ever put together. I’m sure our patrons are going to love it.”
