More than 700 people packed The Lyric this week for a special advance screening of THE WEIGHT, a 2026 Sundance Film Festival selection, with director Padraic McKinley and actor Julia Jones joining us in person to share the film—and the stories behind it—with Northern Colorado audiences.

Beyond the screening, the night brought students, filmmakers, creative professionals and our community together—creating connections and celebrating the future of Colorado’s creative community.

The evening was presented by the Sundance Film Festival and The Lyric, in partnership with ACT Human Rights Film Festival, Best of Fests Colorado, CSU's College of Liberal Arts and Visit Fort Collins, with thanks to Vertical Entertainment.

And there’s even more ahead. With Sundance Film Festival coming to Boulder in 2027, Colorado is entering an exciting new chapter for independent film.

We’re proud to be building that future—one screening, one conversation, and one creative connection at a time.

Thank you, Fort Collins, for showing up. We’ll see you at the movies. 🍿

Political science alum John Weltzien ('76) found more than a degree at Colorado State University, he found a passion and career for bowling through the university’s team. 🎳

Weltzien first joined CSU’s collegiate bowling team as a freshman, helping lead the Rams to their first collegiate national bowling championship. He went on to become a professional bowler, notably winning the 1994 American Bowling Congress Singles Championship against more than 46,000 other bowlers.

Over 50 years later, his connection to CSU is still persistent in his life. His bowling league is proudly named “CSU,” which he still plays on today.

The goodest boy on film this year? Argos 🐾

If you’ve seen The Odyssey, you may have found yourself thinking about him after the movie. You may have even recognized his name from the veterinary hospital, where Argus is the name of our veterinary client support service for people navigating the illness, uncertainty, and loss that can come with caring for an animal.

We asked Dr. Evan Elkins why this appearance by Odysseus’ faithful dog can have such an emotional impact, and why the film’s version of Argos hits differently than Homer’s original poem.

Lights, Audience, Action ✨ It was a big show last week to cap off the Center Stage Youth Art Camp here at CSU Spur!

Over the course of the week (and another group the week before!), students dove into the foundations of theatre, guided by CSU faculty members, CSU Theatre and Dance students, and special guest artists. They acted, sang, and danced their way through five days of creativity, and by the time the week wrapped up, parents, friends, and the community packed in to watch them shine on stage and celebrate everything they'd accomplished.
