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

The last weekend of 2018 is upon us, but before we say goodbye, we should be entertained and look back on the year via Character Assassination's The Roast of 2018. If that's not enough, enjoy an improv show from Gonzo Improv. Then, start the new year out with Pandora Productions and Backward Broadway. Check it all out below.

Don't forget about the shows already taking place and the auditions that are slated to happen as the new year begins.

Most of all, if you are planning on celebrating the new year, be safe and have fun!

Enjoy!
