Front & Center, one of Cal State Fullerton's most visible annual events in support of scholarships, is put together like a giant jigsaw puzzle, with the pieces coming together perfectly for one magical evening. In the beginning, there are the Big Ideas. If there is to be a Big Show, there must be a Big Star. And if there is to be a Big Show featuring a Big Star, then a Big Cast is required. A large venue and an elaborate dinner are important, along with many beautiful people who must be on hand to share the event.

Like most magic, producing Front & Center is more complex than it appears to the untrained eye. Still, the magicians behind the event make it seem simple, elegant and, most of all, fun.
