The show must go on for the Kentucky Center, and it officially will very soon.
According to William Landrum, the secretary of the state’s finance and administration cabinet, an “aggressive schedule” has been executed. The state owns the Kentucky Center.
“I think we can all agree (Sept. 1) is good news,” Landrum said.
There’s no clear date on when everything will be completed at the center, and the roof is anticipated to be completed by November. The roof will be worked on during times that shows are not going on.
Plaster in the barrel roof ceiling is being detached this week, which gives officials and crews a better idea of the structural work that needs to be done. (more…)
For the last week, a significant amount of work on The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts (KCA) has progressed to the point that KCA staff will be allowed to return to their offices on Monday, while work continues to resume performances as soon as possible, according to a press release from Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet.
“I want to commend my staff and contractors who are working tirelessly on clean-up efforts and getting mechanical and electrical systems up and running,” said Finance Cabinet Secretary William M. Landrum III. “We are still trying to determine a realistic timeframe for the overall restoration project, as well as phasing in different areas of the building as they become available.”
The Kentucky Center is excited to present Hawktail on September 30. Hawktail is an acoustic, instrumentalist band featuring members of the Punch Brothers, Dave Rawlings, Crooked Still and A Prairie Home Companion. The Bluegrass quartet’s members include Brittany Haas on fiddle, guitarist Jordan Tice, bassist Paul Kowert and Dominick Leslie on mandolin. Their debut album “UNLESS” was released on May 11, 2018. Although Hawktail is comprised of experienced musicians, audience members will have an exclusive opportunity to witness the band’s first tour together. Their bluegrass music is sure to please any Kentuckians who attend.

Program: ETM: Double Down – Using original tap “instruments” designed by 2014 Bessie Award Winner Nicholas Van Young, the score is not simply danced to, but danced BY the company. With the right programming, the sound of a single footfall can range from a snare drum to a note on an arpeggio.
