Indy Theatre Habit

A few of you know that my father had triple bypass heart surgery a week ago, followed by pacemaker insertion yesterday morning.  I posted my last two reviews using my laptop and the free wireless Internet access in his hospital room while he was sleeping.
My father is doing very well, thank goodness.  In fact, he gets […]

Saturday night, October 18th, I drove to the near north side of Indianapolis to see two “salon theatre” presentations of historical mystery plays.  They took place in two of Indianapolis’ historic landmark attractions: the President Benjamin Harrison Home and the Morris-Butler House.
Each show was a treat in its own way.   As a pairing, they were […]

 Last Friday night, my friend and sister theatre buff Adrienne Reiswerg accompanied me to the Upperstage of the Indiana Repertory Theatre to see “Macbeth” as directed by Janet Allen.  According to cast members during the Talk Back session with the audience after the show, this modernized, 90-minute adaptation of William Shakespeare’s violent tragedy has been […]

Last Monday, I took an hour off as “personal business time” from my day job so that I could drive downtown to the Circle Centre Mall to attend the “Women’s Meet and Greet” event sponsored by the new, professional Sapphire Theatre Company.

Last Saturday afternoon I drove downtown to Military Park to hear several storytellers from around the country in the Printing Partners Hoosier Storytelling Festival.
One of the featured tellers was Brenda Wong Aoki.  I had never heard her tell before, but my sister had, in California a few years ago.  Bethany had sent me Aoki’s beautiful […]

Last Saturday afternoon I drove downtown for the main and final day of the 21st Annual Printing Partners Hoosier Storytelling Festival.  This event is a pleasure that I look forward to all year long.  I haven’t been able to go to every festival since the beginning, but I have been to a lot of them […]
