For the weekend - Louisville theatre shows and auditions (May 11 edition)

The weekend after Derby traditionally finds quite a few theatre shows opening, and this year is no exception. Ten shows of virtually every type are opening in Louisville and beyond. Classic musical? Sure.. Classic comedy? Absolutely. Improv? Yes. Parody? Mmhmm. Shakespeare? You got it. Murder mystery? Oh, yeah. Ballet? Yep. Check it all out below.

Of course, theatre shows cannot be done without talented actors. Within the next week, there will be four auditions taking place somewhere in and around Louisville. There's plenty others happening just behind them. Get involved through one of the shows below.
