Norton Center to the Arts

Centre College's Norton Center for the Arts is an internationally recognized performing arts center. Each year, the Norton Center hosts a series of outstanding guest artists as well as touring productions and symphony orchestras. Past performers have included violinist Itzhak Perlman, dancers Mikhail Baryshnikov and Twyla Tharp, the Boston Pops, Chieftains, Three Dog Night, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, LeeAnn Rimes, and musicals such as Rent, Titanic, Annie Get Your Gun, and My Fair Lady. In October 2000, the Norton Center was the site of the vice presidential debate between Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman.

With the exception of the 2012 Vice Presidential Debate, all events are open to the public on a subscription or single ticket basis, and Centre College students may attend most events at no cost.

Please do not contact the Commission on Presidential Debates or Centre College for 2012 Vice Presidential Debate tickets. Tickets will not be available through Centre College personnel, and tickets are not available through any means at this point in time. The limited number of tickets eventually allocated to the College will be mainly earmarked for current students in the days or weeks before the debate in the fall of 2012. Students interested in attending the debate should look for instructions that will be posted on the Centre debate website at that time.
