For the weekend - Louisville shows and auditions (July 31 edition)

A trio of shows of varying styles open this weekend. From sailing the seas with H.M.S. Pinafore to witnessing The Comedy of Errors to using the force with Star Wars in 60 Minutes or Less, there's something for everyone this weekend. (It should also be noted that all three shows opening this weekend CLOSE this weekend as well.)

Can't make it to those shows? Check out the ongoing shows below, including two that will close this weekend.

Most theater companies are gearing up for their 2015-16 seasons, meaning there are a ton of auditions. New one's from Mind's Eye and Hayswood are posted. Also, Shelby County Community Theatre and Little Colonel Playhouse are having auditions this weekend or early next week. Check them out below.
