Presenting the Arts through Thoughtful Risk and Unconventional Welcome with Colleen Jennings-Roggensack
Colleen Jennings-Roggensack has shaped the arts landscape for decades as Vice President for Cultural Affairs at Arizona State University and Executive Director of ASU Gammage. A Tony Awards voter and recipient of a Tony Honor for Excellence in Theatre, she has built a career grounded in curiosity, mentorship, and community connection. In this episode, Colleen shares how she reimagined ASU Gammage with its Connecting Communities mission, created spaces where Broadway and boundary-pushing performance coexist, and nurtured generations of leaders by insisting that leadership is horizontal, not vertical. From producing her first neighborhood show in fourth grade, to commissioning groundbreaking works, to guiding the national arts field as Vice Chair of the Broadway League, Colleen demonstrates the power of vision rooted in service. Listeners will leave inspired to expand their own curiosity, honor the shoulders they stand on, and become shoulders for others.
