So this weekend, I visited Swan Lake with Titus Andronicus and Misses Strata to listen to some Chamber Music. We found A Raisin' in the Sun inside of A Bright Room Called Day. We figured it was All in the Timing. 

Six shows in the Louisville theatre scene open this weekend, everything from ballet to classics to modern takes on classics to one acts and plenty in between. Check them out below!

Plenty of other shows are also still going on, including Halloween classics, murder mysteries, Shakespeare, and more! Some shows, however, end this weekend so check them out before they close!
