Free Shakespeare in Central Park

Seven productions planned for the summer of 2015

Louisville – It was a great kick off weekend as Central Park once again plays host to a summer tradition now in its 55th year. Following a very successful 2014 Kentucky Shakespeare once again presents Shakespeare in Central Park featuring 8 productions over 10 weeks totaling 55 performances.

Once again all plays will be presented free of charge.  

The 2015 season runs June 3rd – August 9th

Last summer, Kentucky Shakespeare served a record 27,000 people in Central Park, 50,000 in the schools in 58 counties during the year, and 2,000 in the 18-park Shakespeare in the Parks tour which got under way this past spring. Several Metro Council members provided sponsorship of the 18 park tour this year.
