Since its founding in 1978, the Dellora A. Norris Cultural Arts Center has provided a world-class performance venue for regional, national and international talents, including a range of serious musical presentations and crowd-pleasing entertainment.

The Norris, a generous gift to the Fox Valley from the Norris Foundation, includes an exceptional art exhibition gallery and a 1,000-seat theater with the stage area, acoustics, lighting and mechanicals to host the most elaborate performances.

In 2007-2008 with the continued support of a generous base of donors, benefactors and friends who care about bringing top-caliber talent to the Fox Valley, The Norris once again is offering a stellar lineup of exhibits and performances. Please join us in supporting the arts. Enjoy the show!
