Actors Theatre of Louisville
Louisville, Kentucky, USA
Rick Talaske
The venue surrounds the stage on all sides with audience seating, creating an intimate audience/performer dynamic and features modern lighting and AV systems. The renovation also included the modernization of theatre systems and expansion of the stages in the complex’s other two theatres—a 633-seat drama space and a 159-seat thrust stage. With three theatres, the Actors Theatre has been provided incredible creative versatility, allowing them to select the right stage for any production. The three theatres share enlarged backstage areas and support facilities.
