Holy smokes! My first scoop! The stars are almost never aligned in such a way that I, a part-time theatre blogger, can post something before anyone else does, but I think this time I am first. Is this what professional journalists feel like? Oh, scoop, scoop, scoop!
Enough about me, though. Guess what was in my [...]

Last Thursday night I attended the preview night of Dance Kaleidoscope’s “Love Is…” program at the Indiana Repertory Theatre in downtown Indianapolis. It was a wonderfully cathartic evening, artistically admirable in and of itself, but also coincidentally a perfect fit for my euphoric, spring-time mood and my emotional and aesthetic needs at the time. I [...]

Ulrike Steinert, Director of Marketing for the Indianapolis Civic Theatre, emailed me the following press release on August 10, 2009. I am ashamed to say that I put it away in a folder and forgot about it. I am posting it now (with the introductory message and media contact info removed), even though some of [...]

Below is a press release that I received from Executive Artistic Director Ron Spencer on September 2, 2009 about Theatre on the Square’s upcoming season. I am ashamed to say that I put it in a folder and forgot about it. I am posting it now (with some bolding added by me and some of [...]

I received an email last night from The Theater Within’s artstic director, Rod Isaac, announcing their season for 2010. It looks like a nicely manageable but still intriguing and discussable mix. There is a spring show, a summer show, and a fall show.

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 [...]

The Phoenix Theatre today announced its 2009-2010 season AND a change (decrease!) in its ticket prices. I really appreciate that Lori Raffel, the marketing and media relations director for the Phoenix, included Indy Theatre Habit in her e-mailing of the press release to local media. I am including almost the whole press release at the bottom [...]

Yay! Today Gabe Gloden, Managing Director for The Bloomington Playwrights Project, emailed me (amarylliswriter at gmail dot com) a press release with info about their upcoming season. I love it when theatres do this! So far, BPP is the only theatre in Indiana to do so this year. Thanks very much, Gabe and BPP! You can be [...]

Tim Northcutt and Jessica Di Santo sent me a detailed press release about the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s 2009-2010 season. Although the ISO is not exactly theatre, I very much enjoyed the two events that I experienced there last year: “Guys and Dolls” and “Yuletide Celebration.”
There are several items on this year’s schedule that sounded like fun just by looking [...]

I saw thirty regular shows at the 2008 Indianapolis Fringe Festival (five of them twice), plus one Fringe Next show. It took me a while, but I wrote about each of them here on my blog.
It has been a very rewarding, very enjoyable two weeks.
Mind you, one Fringe artist threatened to sue me if I did not revise my review [...]
