Danville Independent Schools has a proud history of support for the arts. You will find artistic principles at work in every classroom, regardless of the subject, and a vibrant community of creative students being led by accomplished, professional teaching artists.
Below, a few of our exciting fall 2025 events. Stay tuned for more information!
Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m.
Gravely Hall Performing Arts Center
Danville High School
203 E. Lexington Ave.
Join the Théâtre de Catastrophe for a wild and unforgettable journey into the darker corners of the Brothers Grimm. Under the sinister eye of their director/ringleader/emeee Mistress Marzipan, the players of this traveling (and maybe cursed) troupe of performers smash together two lesser-known works — "The Robber Bridegroom" and "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" — into a single tale of desire, magic, revenge, dismemberments, and dancing.
Written by Danville's new Director of the Arts Bo List, and directed by Danville High School's new theatre teacher Kristi Hughes, this new play is as wonderful as it is strange (and a little bit on the dark side, so it might not be suitable for young children). It will tour to the Kentucky Thespian Festival in Bowling Green in October and will have public performances Nov. 1 and 2, just in time for the end of spooky season!
Tickets are $5 for students and seniors, $10 for regular adults. Click below to make your reservations!
