wfpl.org: The Kentucky Shakespeare Festival is shopping for a new indoor performance space. Festival leadership has expressed interest in purchasing a Theater Square building that currently houses the Roxbury Nightclub and Lounge.The board of directors recently approved a new strategic plan that calls for expanded programming. Producing artistic director Brantley Dunaway hopes more plays and a longer production season will transform the festival from a free summer program into a robust tourism destination.

It is unfortunate to see that such a great artistic institution needs to get a space to continue providing a service for free that benefits the public like this does. It is cool that they will be expanding their season and expanding their programming but it is sad that we as a society do not care enough to fund this as a public service. This is another producing organization that is in jeopardy of getting into financial problems. More overhead in this economy is a real gamble.
