As part of its 2026 "Storytelling Revolution" season, the Actors Theatre of Louisville is hosting a unique "Family Dinner" event this evening, Monday, March 9. Located at 316 West Main Street, this gathering is designed to bridge the gap between performers and the public, fostering a sense of community through shared narrative and conversation. Starting at 6:00 p.m., the event offers a space for locals to engage with the creative process in an informal, communal setting. This session coincides with the theatre's current production cycle of The Comedy of Errors, serving as a social touchpoint for patrons and artists alike.

The Mellwood Art Center, located at 1860 Mellwood Ave, remains one of the few local galleries with full Monday hours, making it an ideal destination for art lovers to explore over 200 artist studios and multiple curated exhibition spaces.
