Kentucky Trivia
October 12, 1808, the most important theatrical event in the Western Country occurred with the opening of Luke Usher’s New Theater in Lexington, capable of seating 500-600 people. The building was formerly a brewery. The first production was a comedy, Richard Cumberland’s The Sailor’s Daughter. It was the first permanent theater in the early west.
