For the love of Louisville theatre (April 3 edition)

Undoubtedly, this has been an uneasy and uncertain month, and no one knows for sure how long this pandemic will continue. Not only has it led to people going into social distancing and self-isolation, it has also led to the shuttering of many businesses and places of public gathering, including theatres.

Thankfully, theatre is not completely on hiatus. Filmed on Stage has a listing of theatre shows audiences can watch for free while at home.

Locally, Kentucky Shakespeare is doing a Virtual Shakespeare in the Park performance of King Lear and Shakespeare Off the Page with Much Ado About Nothing this weekend. 

Also, if you're able, feel free to help out local theatre through donations. Some of the theatres include:

Acting Against Cancer 

Actors Theatre

The Bard's Town

Centerstage

The Chicken Coop Theatre

Commonwealth Theatre

Fund for the Arts

Hardin County Playhouse

Jackson County Community Theatre

Kentucky Opera

Kentucky Performing Arts

The Liminal Playhouse

Little Colonel Players

Looking for Lilith

Louisville Ballet

Pandora Productions

Redline Performing Arts

Shelby County Community Theatre

Stage One Family Theatre

Theatre 502

The Theatre Downstream

TheatreWorks of Southern Indiana

Whodunnit Murder Mystery Theater

Meanwhile, for theatres and theatre fans alike, SETC has a plenty of resources for students, professionals, ways to donate, and more during this pandemic. Check out this link. 

Last, but absolutely not least, stay safe, stay healthy, and keep those battling the virus in your thoughts and prayers. 

For the foreseeable future - Louisville theatre shows and auditions

With the COVID-19 pandemic going on, virtually every theatre group in and around Louisville and southern Indiana have either postponed or cancelled shows or entire seasons. It's an absolutely needed step in order to practice social distancing and combat this virus.  Still, though, it feels incredibly strange not having theatre going on.

It may be still possible to help out theatres in and around Louisville. Several have ways to donate to them online. I'll post some of those here in the coming days and weeks.

Hopefully, we'll be able to get theatre going again in and around Louisville soon. The more important thing right now, though, is to stay safe, wash your hands, and follow CDC, national, and local guidelines as to how to handle this new normal.

May God bless you and your family. Be well.
