Welcome To The Historic Darress Theatre!
The Darress is one of the few surviving vaudeville stages in the country. Built
in 1919, the theatre retains much of its original charm. Enter from under the stage and feel as though you have stepped back
in time.

Dear Darress
Theatre Patrons
We hope this message finds you well. For those who do not know, the theatre
has been for sale and is now under contract and scheduled for a November 30th closing. So, we are having one last film
feature before the new owners take over.
On Friday, November 27th, we will show a double
feature:
"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and "It's A Wonderful Life"

The first movie will start at 5:00
pm with a break in between shows to allow patrons to have dinner.
The second movie will begin at 7:30 pm.
Patrons can bring dinner inside and dine in the theatre if they wish.
We will continue to watch the COVID-19 situation,
and if rules change, we will follow those guidelines. Please watch for any e-mail updates as well as updates on the

A full-service theatre for the arts--the original vaudeville stage is
the ideal venue for all of our live presentations--plays, stand-up-comedy, and concerts. The theatre also presents independent
and foreign films, and silent films with live organ accompaniment. The Darress Theatre continues to explore new avenues of
entertainment while striving to provide the community with an ever changing array of shows and talent.
The Darress
Theatre is also available for private parties, weddings, meetings, conferences, seminars, school functions, and fund raisers.
We invite you to come and share with us the spirit of the old vaudeville stage.
