67°F8:10 AM It was a perfect evening for a leisurely walk. Hosted a mere stone’s throw away from our humble abode in Old Louisville, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy’s Meet Justin Martin event provided an excellent opportunity for my handsome date and myself to enjoy a stroll through the neighborhood. I’d imagine Olmsted would be pleased; his ideas of calming scenery, urban beauty and reflection through nature converged perfectly for our slow-paced, two block amble. Mature trees drape their heavy heads over the sidewalks; a riot of foliage carpets our path.&nbs
Forecastle Festival's taking over the riverfront and downtown. Why not head to Old Louisville instead for free Shakespeare shows this weekend?
Audiences of all ages have two more chances, July 10 and 17 at 10 a.m. each day, to see free shows of Twelfth Night. The 45 minute production will take place in C. Douglas Ramey Amphitheatre at Central Park. Central Park is located at 4th and Magnolia streets in the Old Louisville district.
From now and through July 11, the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival will continue its summer season with performances of Richard III.
Performances of Richard III will take place in the C. Douglas Ramey Amphitheatre, located in Louisville's Central Park near 4th and Magnolia Streets. Performances will take place beginning tonight, June 30, as well as July 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 at 8 p.m. each night. Each performance is free admission.
Shakespeare was very prescient when he wrote, “More light and light; more dark and dark our woes!” For overnight, a lightboard and soundboard were stolen from the Kentucky Shakespeare Company tech booth behind the pavilion in Central Park, jeopardizing future performances, particularly those in the evening as night falls.
