Kentucky Theater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article deals with the Kentucky Theater in Louisville, not to be confused with the Kentucky Theater in Lexington.
The Kentucky Theater is a theater and performing arts center located in the theatre district of downtown Louisville, Kentucky in the United States of America.
Built in 1921, the building served for sixty years as a movie house. The movie house closed in 1986, and was almost scheduled for demolition until a local entrepreneur bought it at auction and turned it over to two arts advocates who created a non-profit arts organization, called the Kentucky Theater Project, Inc. The newly renovated Kentucky Theater opened its doors in 2000 and is now a vibrant community arts center and art film house.
