For the weekend - Louisville shows and auditions (Aug. 28 edition)

The Alley Theater finds itself Takin' Over the Asylum this weekend. This play features a DJ and a host of colorful characters in a mental institution's radio station. Lots of laughs and heartfelt moments to follow. Check it out this weekend.

Meanwhile, several musicals, comedies, and tributes to famous singers will continue into this weekend from Centerstage, Louisville Repertory Company, Hayswood, and Derby Dinner. A great variety of works, but tickets have been selling fast for all of them. Get yours while you can!

Finally, check out the auditions below, of which three are within the next week (and new ones for the Christmas season have been posted as well.) Check them out below.

Enjoy!
