As we settle into spooky season, we`d like to reassure our patrons that while the Norton Center is a historic building, our theatres are home to nearly zero hauntings!

You never know when inspiration might strike…

Maybe it’s over breakfast, while saxophonist Valentin Kovalev fills Cowan Dining Hall with music. Perhaps it’s during a classroom talk, as he shares his journey from Siberia to stages around the world. Or maybe it’s inside Weisiger Theatre, where he proved that the saxophone’s voice truly belongs in classical music.

We’re so grateful to Valentin for filling campus with music, conversation and inspiration last week.

Did you know we offer gallery tours?!

With yearly rotating exhibitions and permanent art installations, the Norton Center always has something interesting to see on display. Yesterday, 7th and 8th graders from Bate Middle School enjoyed a self-guided tour of our new exhibition, Be The People.

Bring a class, club, or yourself to the Grand Foyer for a self-guided tour, available anytime the Norton Center is open (Monday through Friday, 9 am-4 pm), OR give us a call to book a guided tour now!

A few fun photos from Friday`s show. 🤠
