Aimee Stratton for Actors Theatre of Louisville

WHY ACTORS THEATRE MATTERS TO ME:

I started at Actors Theatre of Louisville in July of 2023 as an accounting assistant. Before working for Actors Theatre, I never seen a live performing show. My first show was A Christmas Carol in 2025, and after seeing it, I've never been so intrigued and amazed by human creativity and their ability to bring stories to life. Experiencing the performing arts at Actors Theatre of Louisville has evolved not only my mindset as an individual, but my career as well. I am currently the Finance/HR Manager, and which I now get to see the BTS (behind the scenes) of every show. Being in this position really opened my eyes to the complexity of a theatre organization, and how every soul makes a difference.

I believe Actors Theatre matters to our community because it builds connections with individuals, educates through storytelling for all ages, promotes accessibility and inclusion, and opens the floor for bigger and better opportunities.
