Beyond the smoke, you'll find local food trucks dishing out Kentucky staples, farm-fresh sides, and even Thai street food. Wash it all down with craft brews from Kentucky's finest independent breweries, curated bourbons, and signature festival cocktails straight from the heart of bourbon country, while listening to regional musical acts.

Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film’s Academy Award-nominated score, as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell’s new book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo’s gothic novel.

The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be "Out There," observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all.

Lacy Hale Student Workshop Exhibit - No Hate in My Holler: Reflections of Identity
Exhibit: April 18 - May 16
Closing Reception: Saturday, May 16, 2-4 pm
No Hate in My Holler: Reflections on Identity is a student exhibition created through a special workshop led by Kentucky artist Lacy Hale, supported by a Kentucky Foundation for Women grant.

During a three-day residency in March, six young women artists worked closely with Lacy to explore block printing, along with drawing and mixed media techniques. Each student created original designs reflecting their identity, experiences, and personal voice. Their work was transformed into prints, posters, and wearable designs, and custom journal covers.

This exhibition highlights their creativity and growth, and celebrates the power of art as a tool for self-expression, confidence, and community connection. Inspired by Lacy Hale’s message of “No Hate in My Holler”, the project encourages young artists to share their stories and uplift their voices through art.

There is something very satisfying about capturing an image quickly. Whether it’s an expression on a face, a moment of light that quickly moves on, or a movement soon stilled, being able to make that moment last is fulfilling as an artist. Connie Estes Beale says many of her better paintings and drawings are done spontaneously. “I think, as artists, too often we labor too long and lose the spark that intrigues.”
