It was ten years ago when a small band of like-minded citizens recognized a void in Hopkinsville’s cultural scene and decided to fill it.

The then Pennyroyal Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) asked a local physician if he would be willing to direct a theatrical production of Beauty and the Beast, as such community wide shows had been absent for some time. What was originally slated to be a one time event has grown into a decade of musicals and plays from Campanile Productions. From Bye Bye Birdie to most recently, Annie, Hopkinsville and the surrounding community has been able to enjoy high quality entertainment from local talent.

We are now a non-profit community theater organization. We currently rent a warehouse/rehearsal space (the “old” Goodwill building) on Ft. Campbell Boulevard in Hopkinsville. We rent the Alhambra Theater for our performances.

Our vision for Campanile Productions is to become that focal point in our community for quality entertainment and a reminder to both the cast and audience that they also can rise above their circumstances. The result is a stronger community because its citizens have been reminded that they have purpose and can strive for excellence. They develop a sense of pride in who they are and take ownership of the community in which they live.

Campanile’s mission has always been to educate, entertain, and inspire. This season’s Beauty and the Beast will be no exception. This show delivers in true Disney fashion! Expect spectacular dance numbers, breathtaking special effects, and all the songs you know by heart!

Will bookish Belle choose the local huntsman and hunk, Gaston, or will she find love with a beast of a prince who has lived alone in his enchanted castle under a dark, karmic spell? Come see the show and find out!
