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.
