For 2015, Matt Wallace and company want to make Kentucky Shakespeare a year-round affair.

After wrapping three grand mainstage productions that have run over seven weeks, would you believe Kentucky Shakespeare's summer season in Central Park is only half-over? Only thing is, you've got just three weeks to catch the rest.

The best productions of classic plays present them as if they are world premieres. They reveal new details, shine new light upon dramas whose lines you could recite like the names of your children. "Hamlet," the finale of Kentucky Shakespeare's trio of summer stagings in Central Park, is exactly this sort of production.

Kentucky Shakespeare's summer season closes on August 17 with Savage Rose Classical Theatre Company's critically acclaimed "King Lear," starring J. Barrett Cooper, the company's founder, as the titular king. It will be a swan song of sorts, for it will be Cooper's final performance with the company, and in Louisville - at least for the time being.

Kentucky Shakespeare celebrates its 54th summer season of free featuring eight productions over 10 weeks totaling 56 performances. This is the oldest fhttp://kyshakespeare.comree Shakespeare festival in the United States. Kentucky Shakespeare is also the largest, in-school education provider in the Commonwealth.
