Matt Wallace News

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

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.

Matt Wallace has a midsummer night's dream. And it is big.
