“每个人都需要好好表达自己。 It's not just what you say, but how you say it." -诺达

The 青年与教育剧场中心, originally known as the Noorda Regional 剧院 Center for Children and Youth, was founded in 2009 with a generous gift from the Ray and Tye Noorda Foundation. The TYE Center is part of the UVU Department of Theatrical Arts for Stage and Screen.

The TYE Center facilitates Sensory Friendly Performances for both the Plays for Young Audience and 剧院部门 Main Season Shows.

捐款人泰·诺达在犹他州农村长大，很少有机会表演。 After high school, she attended the University of Utah, participated in several speech competitions, and performed in theatre productions. Tye believed these experiences sculpted who she grew to be. She developed her self-confidence and created a willingness to put herself in challenging, difficult, and ultimately rewarding, situations

It is in the spirit of Tye Noorda's resilience and commitment to children and youth in which we operate. We strive to provide performance and public speaking opportunities for all children and youth while also training enthusiastic teachers of the arts through the following programs:

• Providing teacher training opportunities to UVU students through the annual Noorda 剧院 Summer Camp for children ages 5-17. This camp features two productions as well as courses in creative drama, musical theatre, dance and movement, acting, stage combat, and more.
• 支持为年轻观众制作的大学戏剧作品。
• Producing touring productions that feature UVU student actors and travel to schools in both local and rural communities.
• Facilitating conferences and special events for educators, UVU students, and the community on topics relevant to practitioners of the arts.
• 开发新的剧本供年轻人观看和表演。
• 赞助两届年度剧本创作比赛。
• Coordinating on-campus visits from guest lecturers who are working professionals in the 剧院 for Young Audiences field.
• 为第一标题小学的课后戏剧项目提供支持。
• 支持大学开设儿童和青年戏剧课程； 讲故事; 木偶; 创造性戏剧; 和应用戏剧。
• 为年轻观众举办适合感官的剧场演出。
