Norton Center for the Arts Review

An outstanding venue for the performing arts in every way!

The Norton Center for the Arts is a great performance venue with a small theater and a large hall capable of hosting major off-Broadway musicals and small recitals alike. The building itself is a protected Frank Lloyd Wright design, featuring as few right-angles as is possible. This makes the triangular staircase a little tricky to navigate, but most of the staircases leading into the venues are not angled harshly. The lobby of the larger hall doubles as a gallery for a fine art collection that rotates semi-regularly. This is indeed a great place for architecture, art, and music!

I've been to see a couple Orchestra shows here and they were absolutely amazing!! I can't wait to go again!! Every year they get some amazing groups and performers to come and put on a show. Love this place!!

Beautiful facility. Comfortable seats and great acoustics.

Great place to see a show, for both adults and kids.

Wonderful Steven Powell - Kensuke Yamada exhibit. Fantastic Lino tagliapetra glass blowing demo

The Celtic Women were splendid. We sat in the upper section middle. The only access to our seats was from the sides so 20 people had to adjust as we got to our seats.

Super nice theater, very clean and everyone was professional and helpful!

Excellent venue. All great seats. Acoustics excellent.

Nice experience. My daughters' first time attending, they loved it! (Ages 10 and 14)

Enjoyed Amy Grants concert so much. E client show, excellent venue...

I've been here for more than one performance, and haven't had any issues. The facility is top-notch. Depending on what you go see, the prices are superb. We saw a two hour We Banjo 3 (A live band that came all the way from Ireland!) performance for $15 a seat. You can't beat that. Awesome performances!

Great venue for concerts. Been to many. All seats are great. Easy egress in and out.

Great acoustics, good sight lines, comfortable seats, wonderful variety of shows that other venues are too conservative to take a risk on.

I have seen some of the best entertainment at the Norton Center.The Benefits of living in a small town.

Love this theater. Great asset in our small town that draws BIG names.

Comfortable seats and great performances. Despite being a small town, Norton gets big names to come here. No matter where you sit, it feels personalized. there are no bad seats!

The venue was beautiful and the campus was amazing.

I'm biased because I went to school at Centre almost 30 years ago, but I love the Norton Center. It's gorgeous, brightly lit, and vibrant. They get an amazing amount of great shows even being as small as they are. It's great to see how well the school has maintained it and keep improving it.

A beautiful addition to Centre College's campus. The building contains a mainstage orchestra hall with a rising pit, two smaller theatres, choir and band rooms and is filled with art galleries.

Great performances, amazing acoustics, and something that makes me proud to be a Centre student.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Danville. The Norton Center features interesting exhibits, unique paintings and sculptures, and a large auditorium for plays and concerts. Good for Centre College students and anyone wanting to visit.

Great auditorium, lovely shows, wonderful place to celebrate the arts!

Great show! Wizard of Oz production was fantastic!!

The Norton Center is amazing! I go there all the time and their shows are always the best!

This is a great venue for music, theater and political debate! We have especially appreciated the wide range of music we have heard here, classical, jazz, country, beebop and more, all the best of their genres. The parking can be a little tricky, but go early, have snacks at the snack bar inside and listen to pre-event music while you stroll around to see the revolving exhibits of artwork.

A high energy show. Amazing tap dancing, singing not quite as good although two performers were excellent. Sounds level too loud even in the balcony.

My favorite venue. Shows start on time, seats are comfortable and the student staff are courteous and helpful. Love this place!
