The ballet is coming to Chattanooga - at the UTC Fine Arts Center this Sunday and Monday!

The Patten Performance Series' first on-campus presentation this year is a two night performance by Maximum Dance Company on Sunday, October 17th with Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" and Monday, October 18th with a varied program of contemporary dance. Both shows start at 7:30 pm.

As always, there are faculty, staff and student discounts. To make reservations, you can call Sue Carroll at 4269 or go online at www.utc.edu/finearts.

Just a personal note: as a faculty brat - dad taught Chemistry - and as an alumnus, I have enjoyed many fine performances on this campus. My father died in 1980, but the memories of attending many of Dorothy Ward's productions with my family live on and are among the fondest of my time spent here. I hope that our series this year will provide your family with the chance to begin creating similar memories. I look forward to seeing you there!
