For the weekend - Louisville theatre shows and auditions (Derby Eve 2019 edition)

Wait! It's Derby weekend!!!! There's no theatre going on here! It's only about the Derby in Louisville!!!!

Yeah, not quite. Believe it or not, there are shows going on in and around Kentuckiana this weekend, especially if you are a fan of improv. Three improv shows in two days, all in the same place! Check them out below! 

Looking for a more traditional theatre show? Take a short drive across the river into southern Indiana for a couple of entertaining shows. Check those shows out below. (Keep in mind, Derby Dinner does not have a show on May 4.) 

Looking to break into the local theatre scene? Check out one of several auditions below, including four happening before the end of the month. 

Enjoy!
