For me, the weekend included catching the Phoenix Theatre's regional premier of "Seminar" (which I saw and reviewed earlier this year on Broadway--more on this production soon). I also satisfied my curiosity about the ambitious-but-muddled "Cloud Atlas" at the movies and caught up on some reading for my upcoming IBJ column.

Speaking of the column, this week's focuses on the first IBJ A&E Road Trip to Chicago Shakespeare Theatre and the Art Institute of Chicago. Read it here.

So what did you hear, see or do on the arts and entertainment front this weekend?

Your thoughts?

    Your Chicago trip sounds fun, Lou! I enjoyed reading about it. Also, re-reading your review of the Broadway production of "Seminar" helped me to articulate my own response to the Phoenix' production, so thanks for that, too, Lou. I wrote about it on my own blog, Indy Theatre Habit. There's some wonderful acting in the Phoenix show. Hope Baugh

    My entire family and I (grandparents included) spent a terrific Friday evening with comedian Brian Regan that Murat. I find Brian to be the most brilliant of all current stand-up comedians. His act has equal measures of physical comedy, word-play, and just downright hillarious observations about everyday life. Although he made his name with hillaious bits that are now 5 to 10 years old, his show Friday night was 90% new stuff. And, he does it all with completely clean comedy.

    The Woman in Black at the Civic Theatre was very well done and an excellent show.

    Those in attendance were able to enjoy the results of 100's of high school students' many hours of practice. 20 bands/colorguard in each Class presented their best in the hopes of being selected as one of the 10 (for each class) to move on to State Competition (this weekend at Lucas Oil). At Ben Davis, we experienced the Class A bands. This is truly a total experience, both auditory and visual! What some of these groups do is just amazing. Fans just needed to know how to dress for the weather!

  1. RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.

  2. Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?

  3. Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.

  4. We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)

  5. True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
