Shakespeare in the Parks Takes You to the Islands in April & May

by | Apr 1, 2026 | FRONT PAGE, KENTUCKY SHAKESPEARE, LOUISVILLE BALLET, Uncategorized

This spring, Kentucky Shakespeare is bringing The Tempest to a park near you. Or should that be an island?

Set on an enchanted island, the bard’s final play has a tropical feel, complete in this production with toe-tapping Puerto Rican bomba music. Watch it, and you may feel you’ve finally left behind the winter of our discontent (to quote another Shakespeare play).

The 2026 Shakespeare in the Parks tour runs through most of April and May. It will visit 44 parks across the metro area and venues as far away as Berea, Ky., and Richmond, Ind., as well as 20+ area schools. Thanks to presenting sponsors, each park performance is 100% free, although donations are welcome. CLICK HERE for the complete schedule—including rain locations.
