For the weekend - Louisville shows and auditions (July 17 edition)

This weekend two plays based on historical figures will occur. Stage on Spring presents The Elephant Man, who grew from side-show freak to the toast of London society despite his disfigured body. Meanwhile, the Larry Muhammad-created Buster!, a gospel-musical focusing on the life of civil rights activist Rev. Louis Coleman. Check out both of these shows this weekend.

Don't forget to check out the shows currently going on as well. From what I've heard, there's been a ton of great reviews for all three shows below. 

Finally, check out the auditions, of which there are plenty (including two this weekend) as many theatres begin starting up their 2015-16 theatre seasons.

Enjoy!
