On Friday, January 26, 2018, the Kentucky Department of Parks announced the temporary closure of the amphitheater at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park in Prestonsburg to make electrical and structural repairs. State officials recommended these needed repairs during a recent maintenance inspection of the facility. Don Parkinson, Secretary of the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, said inspectors were sent to the amphitheater at Jenny Wiley as soon as they became aware of hazardous conditions of the amphitheater at My Old Kentucky Home State Park. The Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet is collaborating with state and local elected leaders in Eastern Kentucky and Floyd County to develop a plan to complete repairs and re-open the theater.
