🎭 Step back in time and experience a heartwarming story rooted in Kentucky (and Danville) history!

Beginning next week, Pioneer Playhouse presents The Iron Baby Angel — a Kentucky Voices original play celebrating small-town life in Danville in 1909. Adapted by Robby Henson from the beloved novel by Centre College alumnus Charles R. McDowell, the production brings to life the colorful characters, friendships, and adventures that defined a bygone era.

Follow young Harold Hines, Jr. as he spends a summer in Danville, discovering the people and stories that make our community unique. Inspired by real residents from Danville's past, this touching production explores history, heritage, and the connections that bring people together.

📅 June 30–July 18
🕗 Tuesdays–Saturdays at 8 p.m.
📍 Pioneer Playhouse, Danville

Make it a full evening with dinner and the show on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights!

🎟️ Tickets are available now. Gather your family and friends and experience the magic of live theatre this summer.
