Indy Theatre Habit

I want to thank everyone who helped to make the 5th annual Indy Fringe Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana such an enjoyable and satisfying experience. I know I miss some people in this video (and I meant to say Christina LEAR instead of Christina Leary) but thank you, everyone! I sing a little song at that [...]

 
Oh, my, the final Saturday of the 2009 Indy Fringe Festival here in Indianapolis, Indiana was sublime.  The weather was glorious, so the walks between theatres were almost as invigorating as the shows themselves.  Plus, I spent most of the day with my theatre buddy, Adrienne Reiswerg, which I always enjoy.
Best of all, the day [...]

 
(FYI:  the above video is a conversation with Erin Schlabach, director of one of my favorite 2009 Indy Fringe shows, “Crossing the Bridge.”  Scroll down to see other videos embedded in the post below.)
One day last week during the 2009 Indy Fringe Festival here in Indianapolis, Indiana, juggler Brent McCoy told me, “The audience is like [...]

Well, I guess it was bound to happen: a 2009 Indy Fringe show disappointed me.  But one out of twenty-one, which is how many Fringe shows I’ve seen so far this year, is not bad.  Not bad at all.
Here is what I saw on Tuesday and Wednesday night of the 2009 Indy Fringe Festival in [...]

After a promising start, I was feeling discouraged about my new video project for my blog because one little interview that I made with a 2009 Indy Fringe Festival director on Sunday did not record at all and I couldn’t seem to get the other two to transfer from my iPhone to my YouTube account.  However, maybe [...]

 
Here are some quick notes about the 2009 Indy Fringe shows I saw and a few of the other Fringe-y experiences I had on Sunday and Monday.  Still no duds, but several surprises.
I spent most of the day at the Earth House venue.
I had never been to the Earth House before.  It is a very [...]

 
Sometimes I am accused of “liking everything.”  I used to try very hard to explain that I do not, actually, like everything.  Nor do I “get a boner for everyone” as I overheard someone say about himself yesterday.
However, I do focus very specifically on what I appreciate for my blog readers, including myself. 
So now I tell [...]

 
Last night when I sat down at a table at the 2009 Indy Fringe Festival Preview Party, the man sitting diagonally across from me said, “Hey, are you the one that writes that theatre blog?”  I think he had seen me handing my blog card to someone.
Anyway, I admitted to it and he said he [...]

 
Last night, after I got off work from my day job, I drove to Massachusetts Avenue in downtown Indianapolis to see the 2009 Indy Fringe Festival Parade and Preview Party.
I got there too late for the main part of the parade, but lots of people were still walking as parade followers so I fell in [...]

Several people forwarded the above 2009 Indy Fringe Trailer video to me.  Perhaps you received it in your email and/or on your Facebook feed, too.  It is very short – less than a minute.  It is fun to try to guess who all of the characters are after reading many of the show descriptions on [...]
