Performing Arts
John Gage is Director of the Performing Arts Unit at KTP.

MUSIC CONCERTS
What can a song do? It can make people proud of themselves, of their land, their people. It can help them understand who they are, where they came from, and perhaps, where they might be going and why.

Study and Presentation of Folk and Traditional Music Forms
KTP honors artistic endeavors that are steeped in Kentucky tradition, those arts that have grown through time within the many groups in Kentucky that share the same ethnic heritage, language, occupation, religion or geographic area.


Please see the KTP calendar for dates and times of Performing Arts events.

INDEPENDENT WORKS
Kentucky Theater Project occasionally rents the Kentucky Theater to promoters and performing artists so they may produce their own independent works. In this way KTP opens the door to progressive artists and emerging arts organizations, making it possible for them to build on their strengths of performances and presentations to reach new audiences.

Theater
Drama has served as a method of learning and remembering from the beginning of recorded history. It serves as a powerful force to entertain, educate and provide emotional catharsis. Occasionally community theater groups rent the Kentucky Theater to bring their independent works to the stage to showcase theater arts with local and regional talent and develop new audiences.

STORYTELLING
The International Order of E.A.R.S. brings international championship liars, hall of fame singers and poets, and award-winning tellers from down under and over yonder to the Kentucky Theater as part of the annual Corn Island Storytelling Festival, the second oldest storytelling festival in the United States.

Project Improv performs every Friday evening at the Kentucky Theater in the bistro. Project Improv also performs long form sketch comedy as fundraising events for the Kentucky Theater.
