The 75th Anniversary event will pay tribute to the theatre’s early years with period music from the University of Louisville Big Band Jazz Ensemble.

 “Louisville Metro Parks is very proud to oversee the management of this theater,” said Metro Parks director Mike Heitz. “From its long-standing tradition of featuring the best and brightest among local performers, to a state of the art facility which also attracts major regional and national artists, the amphitheater is a community treasure.”
