Founded in 1977, Horse Cave Theatre has strived for excellence in theatrical performances, but Horse Cave Theatre also strives to facilitate, through involvement and education, the cultural growth of the region by making creative theatre experiences accessible to student and adults. In order to achieve these goals Horse Cave Theatre offers a wide variety of other programs. Also, the Theatre has audio receivers available for the hearing impaired. Horse Cave Theatre also designates an audio description for each of the plays produced during a season. The Audio Description performances offer visually impaired patrons increased enjoyment of the performance.
Teachers receive comprehensive study guides and in-service training.
Teachers may request a post-performance discussion allowing students to speak with members of the professional acting company free of charge. This is a way to get involved in all of Horse Cave Theatre's programs. The HC T EAM is the Theatre's volunteer organization. If you have a special talent or would just like to be a part of Horse Cave Theatre everyone is welcome. The series of new Kentucky works began in 1981 and is the only program in Kentucky that is devoted to the development of plays by or about Kentuckians .
