For more than 25 years, Pandora Productions has been the only theatre company in the Louisville Metro area and most of Kentucky exclusively dedicated and most trusted to tell the stories of the LGBTQ+ communities.
Pandora Productions has been telling the stories of the LGBTQ+ community for over 25 years. Born from a small, crazy idea of three artists who wanted to create a musical based on the myth of Pandora, the company has grown to be a shining star in the Louisville arts firmament. Performing a 5 show mainstage season in the Henry Clay Theatre, the company presents bold, cutting edge, award winning musicals, dramas and comedies as well as hosted two national new play competitions. The company celebrates local, regional and national playwrights writing on LGBTQ+ themes with our PlayDates with Pandora series and brand new Intersections project.

The Christmas Writer
November 24, 7:30pm
The Christmas Writer ___ a movie written by Louisville native Katie I. Williams and starring Louisville native Shelby Allison Brown. ___
A bestselling lesbian Christmas author, Noel finds herself paralyzed by grief and writer’s block after losing her mother (her holiday muse) and enduring a sudden breakup. Under pressure from her agent and with holiday festivities just a sad reminder, Noel retreats to her quaint hometown of Pinewood in search of new inspiration. When she crosses paths with Callie—a charming, single mom who now owns the local bookstore—Noel stubbornly resists the attraction, despite the best efforts of her meddling friends and grandmother. However, sparks continue to fly! Surprised to find her inspiration in the form of unexpected love, Noel must now decide between holding onto her glam, big city life or embracing a love story that even she couldn’t have written.
