The old bachelor, red-faced old man,
like this and like that,
wearing his peasant hat sideways,
like this and like that, etc.
tipped up and down,

He went to the village, 
and joined the circle dance,
to dance next to the maidens,
All the maidens ran away,
only the youngest one stayed,
the youngest one, Angelina.

Dean's Message

Courtney Davis

The arts possess the sublime power to inspire, engage, and transform. Just as a solitary note holds the ability to captivate, a single voice, gesture, or melody possesses the ineffable power to carry us away.

We invite you to embark upon a new journey with us this season at The Noorda Center—home to inspiring events and an exciting hub for the arts in Utah County. Our mission is to produce and present artistic excellence, which would not be possible without the generous support of our donors and sponsors. We thank them and express our deep gratitude to all patrons, supporters, and friends of The Noorda Center.

Thank you for journeying with us this season to experience the profound and transformative power of the arts! 

Courtney R. Davis, J.D., M.A.
Dean, School of the Arts
