Stage Curtains Rise Saturday — Your Weekend Lineup Inside
Radcliff, KY · September 4, 2026
Friday arrives with midsummer-style heat and a packed weekend slate rolling across the county. Grab extra ice for the cooler and settle in early.
The Lead
The weekend arrives with big stage energy as the Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center opens its 2026–2027 ProAm season Saturday evening with Little Shop of Horrors. Featuring a hybrid cast of seasoned regional performers and local student talent, the sci-fi rock musical turns the Elizabethtown stage over to Audrey II for two full weekends. Opening night kicks off at 7:00 PM tomorrow, followed by a Sunday afternoon matinee, giving theatergoers an easy early-fall outing before seats sell down.
Between set changes and rehearsals, the rest of northern Hardin County is shifting into weekend gear, from Saturday morning farm stands to youth sports at local fields. Advance tickets for this weekend’s musical run can be reserved directly through the box office before curtain time.
