Kentucky Performing Arts, based in Louisville, Kentucky, coordinates and presents a broad spectrum of live performing arts through its three venues—the Kentucky Center, The Brown Theatre, and Old Forester's Paristown Hall. Its programming includes major regional and national companies such as the Louisville Orchestra, Kentucky Opera, Louisville Ballet, Stage One Family Theatre, and PNC Bank Broadway in Louisville, alongside a range of community theaters and the organization’s own Kentucky Performing Arts Presents series. The organization spans genres—from Broadway to ballet and from blues to bluegrass—and hosts performances on most nights, supporting Louisville's performing arts ecosystem. It operates within the performing arts sector and extends its reach across Kentucky through education and outreach programs that bring the arts to dozens of community centers, healthcare facilities, and schools in all regions, reaching virtually all 120 counties. The Governor's School for the Arts program, hosted by the organization, offers three weeks of intensive training for hundreds of Kentucky high school artists each summer. A notable recent development includes a 2023 partnership with True Tickets to bolster ticketing security and streamline the ticketing experience.
