" For the Use of
the People and the Glory of the City"
Over the proscenium arch of the stage of the City Auditorium, the above motto is written in Latin. It was placed there in 1923, when the building was completed.
The Friends of the Colorado Springs City Auditorium expands on this motto:"To support the use and maintenance of this historic site, for the use of the people, who are the glory of the city and the owners of the City Auditorium."
The Colorado Springs Historic City Auditorium is the only AFFORDABLE venue in the city that has the versatility to serve a wide range of events, from a three ring circus to a concert by Rachmaninoff. This building is part of our city's history and is used frequently by our citizens for graduations, concerts, festivals, roller derby, live stage productions, Theatre Pipe organ performances, silent film programs and much more. We have a duty to the people of Colorado Springs to ensure the continuation of the intended use of the Municipal Auditorium, which is the original name of City Auditorium.
