Outdoor Amphitheater

What's not to love about watching musical performances on summer nights under the stars surrounded by a natural forest? My Old Kentucky Home's amphitheater shows are a unique experience that have been part of the American family tradition for generations.

THE STEPHEN FOSTER STORY

The Stephen Foster Story has been delighting audiences at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre since 1959. The show is set in the mid 19th century and 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. Featuring over fifty of Foster’s greatest compositions such as “Oh! Susanna”, “Camptown Races”, “Beautiful Dreamer”, “Hard Times (Come Again No More)”, & Kentucky’s state song “My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night”,  The Stephen Foster Story captures the essence of a by-gone era through song, dance, breathtaking costumes, and the picture-perfect setting of My Old Kentucky Home State Park. Playing in 2024 select dates from June 15 – August 10.
