For the weekend - Louisville and Southern Indiana theatre shows and auditions (Feb. 24, 2023 edition)

Take an odyssey back to the 90s or follow the pipeline to your humanity while imagining being 13 or living in a castle like Cinderella. Or check out one or more of the six shows that are opening in Kentuckiana this weekend. Seven other shows are continuing from previous weekends. Check them all out in the links below.

Don't forget about the upcoming auditions, of which there are plenty. Two auditions are happening in the next few days with five more following close behind. Check them out through the links below.

Last but certainly not least, on a more personal note, I offer my condolences, thoughts, and prayers to those impacted by the sudden loss of Doug Schutte. He was a treasured member of the Louisville theatre community, running The Bard's Town for more than a decade, helping to keep the scene as vibrant as ever in that time. This wonderful person will be missed.
