Music Theatre Louisville (www.musictheatrelouisville.com) moves into its second season being housed at the Kentucky Center by offering three familiar (and well-loved) productions.

In two and a half weeks, I am flying down to Ecuador by myself with Jack. Yes... you read that correctly, I. Am. Taking. A. Baby. To. South. America. By. Myself. Once we arrive in Quito, we will meet up with my husband (who is doing work in Peru) and some friends who live there and their brand new baby girl. When I tell people this their jaws drop. “You're flying on an airplane with Jack by yourself for over 6 hours? You're taking a baby to a third world country?!” Their faces usually crumple to a mixture of pity, fear and incredulity.

Disclaimer: Short of getting them all revved up and them dumping them back on their parents, I know nothing about dealing with children. But these Louisville-area camps seem like good places to stick 'em this summer. And if it turns out I don't know what I'm talking about--and there's a good chance that's the case--All Things Louisville has an exhaustive list of area camps.
