Distinguished Events Series

The 2012-13 Series

Coming this season to the UNA Campus . . .

The UNA Distinguished Events Series has a calendar of exceptionally fine performances for the 2012-2013 season. Admission to all DES events, except for the UNA Front Porch Storytelling Festival, is free.

New Shanghai Circus

A circus like no other, the acrobats, athletes, and artists of the New Shanghai Circus will tumble into Norton Auditorium on Sunday, February 24, at 2 p.m.

“Gravity-defying feats and super-human displays of power and extraordinary grace” take the performances of the Circus to new heights. This is a rare opportunity for the Shoals audience to see incredible performers from China.

 

UNA Front Porch Storytelling Festival

The very best professional storytellers (including the "dean of storytelling" Donald Davis) will entertain at the Third Annual University of North Alabama Front Porch Storytelling Festival on Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, 2013 in the Performance Center (daytime storytelling) and at the Memorial Amphitheatre (evening performances). Special events are planned to kick off the festival on Thursday, May 16, so check back for more information! (www.una.edu/storytelling)
