For the weekend - Louisville theatre shows and auditions (Aug. 2 edition)`

Talk about variety. This weekend, ballet, improv, classic shows, youth shows, and new shows will be opening in and around Louisville this weekend. However, all but one of them are either one night only or will be closing by the end of the weekend. Check out the many varieties of shows below.

While at it, don't forget to check out the shows already happening in the Louisville theatre scene. Plenty of those shows will be ending before the weekend is done, so check them out before it's too late!

Last, but certainly not least, the theatre scene is always needing actors. Right now is a really good opportunity to get involved as there are eight auditions happening within the next six weeks. Check out those shows below.

Enjoy!
