The official state outdoor musical of Kentucky returns to the stage this weekend.
The Stephen Foster Story will take to the stage at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre this Saturday as the musical kicks off its 66th season in Bardstown.
Featuring classic songs such as “Oh! Susanna”, “Camptown Races”, and Kentucky’s state song “My Old Kentucky Home”, The Stephen Foster Story “follows America’s first great composer, Stephen Collins Foster, as he paves the road for future songwriters through love, heartache, and the struggles of the time.”
The Stephen Foster Drama Association will run productions of the musical select nights from June 14 through August 9. Tickets to opening night include a pre-show performance by the band Puncheon Creek, complimentary light refreshments, and a cast meet and greet.
The musical has been staged at My Old Kentucky Home State Park since 1959. Visit www.stephenfoster.com for more information and to order tickets.
