For the weekend - Louisville shows and auditions (New Year's Eve-Eve edition)

Hope everyone had a great holiday this past week (or if you are still celebrating your holiday, hope it's still going well!). Most of the Louisville theatre scene is on a break this week, although Derby Dinner continues with a pretty well-reviewed Honky Tonk Angels show. (Whodunnit will return Murder on 34th Street to the stage after the New Year.) Check it out if you can!

Now would be a good time to start brushing up on monologues, getting headshots, or whatever you need to prepare for auditions in the Louisville theatre scene. After the new year, no fewer than eight will occur in and outside of Louisville. Get involved with one of the links below.

Enjoy, and have a safe and happy New Year!
