21st annual Cabo Wabo Coat Party at Mellwood Arts Center
Cabo Wabo is a big fat party at Mellwood Arts Center thrown to benefit the Dream factory. There will be a cash bar and a giant dance floor (and I am told that lots of people dance, so get ready to boogie!), as well as performances from The Louisville Crashers and From Paris. Attendants are encouraged to bring a new or gently used coat to benefit St. Vincent's. There will be booze and fun times.

Sister Act at the Kentucky Center
Featuring original music by 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors), Sister Act tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. Check out Louisville.com's interview with cast member Richard Pruitt, and our review of Sister Act.

Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at CenterStage
This happy-go-lucky view of small town vice and statewide political side-stepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch. The show’s rousing numbers and high-energy, whirlwind choreography make for a boot-stomping good time. A talented and experienced cast has been chosen, including Glenna Godsey as Mona, who toured with an international production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and played Madame Thenardier in Les Miserables; Lauren LeBlanc as Amber, who issued a stand-out performance as Paulette in Legally Blonde; and Rusty Henle who was stunning in A New Brain and Ragtime. Check out Louisville.com's interview with CenterStage's artistic director John Leffert here, and our review of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas here!
