"A Gift of music and Magic: UCM's 'Amahl and the Night Visitors' Shines with Heart and Imagination​​

 

"Under the direction of Jenise Cook, the UCM Department of Theatre & Dance, in partnership with the UCM Division of Music, delivered a heartfelt rendition of Menotti’s beloved one-act opera. Cook’s emphasis on themes of faith, compassion, community, and generosity anchored the production and these values shone through both narratively and in ensemble spirit.
