“Oh, brave new world!”

Kentucky Shakespeare’s touring production of The Tempest will be making a stop in Elizabethtown Friday evening.

Kentucky Shakespeare says the 2026 Shakespeare in the parks tour is visiting a record 46 locations this season as they present The Bard’s final play. The organization says the tragicomedy is “a testament to the redeeming power of love and forgiveness – featuring fools, spirits, monsters, shipwrecks, and magical spells.”

The company will be performing at Freeman Lake Park Friday night beginning at 6:30 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the performance will be moved to the State Theater.

All performances of The Tempest are free, with no tickets or reservations required. The show runs approximately 75 minutes with no intermission. Attendees should bring their own chairs or blankets to the performance.
