For the weekend - Louisville and Southern Indiana theatre shows (Sept. 24, 2021 edition)

First of all, amazing job with last week's Give for Good Lou event. Several theatre companies are reporting they not only met but EXCEEDED their goals. Incredible! Thank you to everyone who donated for keeping theatre alive in Kentuckiana!

If you missed the opportunity to donate last week, feel free to donate to your favorite theatre this weekend, or any time! You can also donate your time through volunteering at many of the Kentuckiana theatres around. Contact the specific theatre companies on how to get involved.

In the meantime, how about seeing what the Kentuckiana theatre scene has to offer? Two shows are opening this weekend, and six shows are continuing from previous weekends. Check them all out through the links below.

Of course, these shows cannot be done without actors, and those actors were cast through auditions like the ones below. Check out the list of auditions, including one happening this weekend, and get involved on stage with Kentuckiana theatre.
