If you still think of only Shakespeare in the Park – Central Park – when you think of Kentucky Shakespeare [4], you need to catch up to the fact that the group is now a year-round theater company working on cool projects, like the Shakespeare on Stage Film Series [5] and the recent radio play it staged in partnership with WUOL [6].
“Last year, Kentucky Shakespeare visited nine area parks, this year we are thrilled to double that amount to 18 neighborhoods,” says Producing Artistic Director Matt Wallace.
