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. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
