Fischer Theatre
160 North Vermilion Street, Danville, IL 61832
Theater
The Fischer Theatre located in the heart of Downtown Danville.
The Fischer Theatre opened in 1884 as the legendary Grand Opera House. It was renamed the Fischer Theatre in 1913.
The Fischer Theatre stands today as a vibrant cultural hub thanks to the vision and generosity of Julius W. Hegeler II and the Julius W. Hegeler II Foundation, whose dedication to preserving Danville’s historic landmarks made its restoration possible. Their leadership and commitment, along with the efforts of countless volunteers, donors, and supporters, have transformed the Fischer into a thriving center for the arts, history, and community connection.
Our Mission: We believe art is vital to a good life. Our purpose is to fund and oversee the restoration, maintenance, and operations of the Historic Fischer Theatre in order for all to experience the arts in this local treasure.
