Walden Theatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walden Theatre, the nation's preeminent theatre conservatory for young people is located in Louisville, Kentucky. Walden Theatre was founded in 1975 on the grounds of the Walden School, by Nancy Niles Sexton. In 1999 the theatre moved from its location at the St. Francis School into its own building located on Payne St. The company regularly presents both modern and classics of American and British theatre at the Kentucky Center's MEX Theatre, Cultural Center at the Frazier International History Museum and Actors Theatre of Louisville. The company also stages one of the few annual salutes to William Shakespeare in the country, the Young American Shakespeare Festival. The theatre also devotes itself to fostering new Playwright talent with the annual Young Playwrights Festival in early March. Walden has produced works such as Summer and Smoke, Romeo and Juliet, Language of Angels and Tartuffe.
