The Russell County Arts Council In 1984, a group of Russell Countians that were enthusiastic about the arts applied for and received a New Communities Challenge Grant from the Kentucky Arts Council. The initial goal of the organization was to stimulate cultural enrichment and growth through exposure to drama, music, fine art, and literature. The original venue of the Arts Council was the Old Liberty Play House which was replaced by the Star Theater. In July 1994, after several years of planning and extensive remodeling, the Star held its Grand Opening as a performing arts theater. Throughout the year, the Russell County Arts Council produces several theatrical performances at the historic Star Theater, allowing community members to shine as they bring theater to the stage.
