Dear Educator:
The Norton Center is pleased to invite you and your students to join us for seven world-class performances during the 2007-2008 school year. These exciting shows offer unique avenues for you to reinforce classroom curricula and also assist in the development of critical thinking skills and understanding of the creative process.
- STOMP:
See what the noise is all about when the international percussion sensation takes the stage. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments including matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, and Zippo lighters, to create an unforgettable experience.
Visit the show page for Info and Audio - Amazing Pets:
The stars of this show include a dog who can ride a bicycle and a cat who can do ballet. Best of all, most of the stars were rescued from animal shelters before becoming on-stage celebrities. Along with the dogs and cats, you'll see beautiful exotic birds and many other magical surprises that will put a smile on your face.
Visit the show page for Info and to watch VIDEO - Cirque d'Or:
You'll love the amazing acrobatics in the fantastic new cirque show that is scheduled later this year to play six weeks in New York City's famous New Victory Theatre on 42nd Street and then in Boston's Symphony Hall.

Direct from Russia, the acclaimed Moscow Classical Ballet returns to the Norton Center for the spectacular performance that has become a grand Holiday tradition.

Presenting a selection of Irish folksongs, opera numbers, modern rock classics, pop, and even some Beatles and Barry Manilow, the Twelve Irish Tenors are causing a sensation wherever they appear.

Hailed by the New York Times as "wonderfully imposing," the Tchaikovsky Ballet and Orchestra which features a company of 70 dancers, a full orchestra, and stunning costumes, is one of Russia?s most distinguished artistic companies.
Visit the show page for Info and Audio - The African Children's Choir:
You saw them two times this year as featured guests on American Idol. Including children from ages seven through eleven, their voices sing out on behalf of Africa's twelve million orphans.
