For the weekend - Louisville and Southern Indiana theatre shows and auditions (Jan. 16, 2026 edition)

Gotta love Kentuckiana weather...oy... One day its warm and sunny, the next its below freezing with flurries. One thing that is constant is the Kentuckiana theatre scene and its multiple options. This weekend is no exception with six shows opening and two continuing previous weekends. Check out all of the shows through the links below.

Plenty of theatres are also getting ready for late winter, spring, and even summer shows. Four auditions are set to happen within the next week. Check out the upcoming auditions through those links below.
