'In here, life is beautiful...' a phrase repeated by the Emcee of the Kit-Kat Club in Berlin. This emcee invites his audience to forget and ignore their troubles and hardship and indulge in a world full of dancing girls, flirtations, and decadence. Gritty, powerful and raw, Pandora Productions current production of Kander and Ebb's Cabaret is blistering and beautiful.
Bust A Move With the Good NewsAltar Boyz is one of the craziest, funniest things I have seen lately. A tongue-in-cheek satire not of God or organized religion per se, but of a particular type of hyperactive, relentlessly upbeat Christian entertainment that is pure, irresistible showbiz. The title is the name of a fictitious Christian boy-band on the last night of their national 'Raise the Praise' tour: Matthew (Cameron Conners), Mark (Michael Detmer), Luke (Tony Smith), Juan (Remy Sisk), and Abraham (Alfie Jones), who's Jewish and sports a yarmulke adorned with a glitzy star.
Sponsored by OutMarket.Pro, the ALTAR BOYZ are in Louisville and Pandora Productions kicks off the 2018-2019 Season with this season extra that is sure to have you singing along with this holy inspired boy band. This musical comedy with book by Kevin Del Aguila, music and lyrics by Gary Adler, Michael Patrick Walker is a season extra for the company.
In a rough East London flat, Cougar Glass (Remy Sisk) sits nearly naked under a sunlamp, implacable behind sunglasses, drinking beer and smoking a cigarette. As his partner, Captain Tock (Brian Hinds) talks incessantly while setting up for Cougar's '19th' birthday party, the sleek narcissist remains unmoved, waited on by the Captain like a Royal Prince.
PlayDates with Pandora is an initiative begun in the 2016-2017 season reading plays on LGBTQ+ themes and celebrating plays written by local and regional playwrights. The mission of the Pandora Productions Playdates is to give local and regional playwrights a voice and introduce their work to our audiences. Thanks to a generous matching grant from the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation through the Fund for the Arts ArtsMatch program, the PlayDates with Pandora project is expanding for 2018-2019.
Dialing It UpThis quote from a live cabaret performance by Charles Busch could be referencing his play, Die! Mommie Die!, which is a parody of the kind of grotesque, overwrought melodrama that fueled the careers of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in the 1960's. Busch is certainly juicing up an old model, registering the conniving and backstabbing plot twists beneath a veneer of arch camp.
Fund for the Arts is offering 15 local arts projects the unique and unparalleled opportunity to double their fundraising through its ArtsMatch crowdfunding program.

Pandora Productions ends her family themed Season with Die! Mommie Die!, Charles Busch's outrageous, campy, impossible comedy. Poisoned suppositories are just the beginning of this thriller comedy with multiple suspects, with many motives and a twist we never see coming.
It's definitely Le Jazz Hot on the Pandora stage this March as we present VICTOR/VICTORIA. First a movie, then a stage show, Pandora Productions is proud to bring this spectacular and ambitious show to our stage for the first time. The production features many veterans of the Pandora stage but also is proud to debut many new faces.
On February 19, Arts-Louisville presented the 4thAnnual Arts-Louisville/Broadway World Theatre Awards at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center. An audience of over 150 attended the event.
Pandora Productions continues her family themed Season with Harbor. Alternately biting and touching, this comedy is about the constantly shifting nature of what it means to be a family.
