LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- More than 60 cast members who've performed at "The Stephen Foster Story" in Bardstown over the last 50 years got together for a quarantine-friendly version of "My Old Kentucky Home."
The song is the grand finale to the long-running show, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bardstown amphitheater hasn't been hosting its normal summer performances. This will be the first summer without The Stephen Foster Story since it's first season in 1959.
Below is the full online performance:
In the spring of 2020 more than 60 cast members from The Stephen Foster Story joined together virtually to continue a treasured Derby weekend tradition: the singing of My Old Kentucky Home.
The song is also the grande finale of The Stephen Foster Story, typically performed every summer at the amphitheater in Bardstown. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing state guidelines & regulations, the Stephen Foster Drama Association made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 season. This will be the first summer this show has not been performed since the inaugural season in 1959.
Although times may seem dark, Kentuckians everywhere know the sun will shine bright again soon. During this difficult time, please take care of our most vulnerable first. Please donate to support healthcare, families in need, food banks, etc. Then, if you can, please consider supporting our effort to reopen in 2021.
