Looking to fill out your week's plans with arts and/or entertainment? Here's my short-list of events on my priority list:

 

Renee Fleming,

Feb. 24

Palladium

Thomas Hampson

Feb. 22

Hilbert Circle Theatre

Did you know this opera great was born in Indiana? Unfortunately (for us), that’s Indiana, Pa. Nevertheless, I’m thrilled we’re going to get a visit from this world-class singer. She’s as comfortable with a show tune as she is with an operatic aria. Details here.  And speaking of opera greats, Thomas Hampson, an actual Indiana native (Elkhart), joins conductor Joana Carneiro and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for an evening of Mahler and Schumann. Details here.

 

Joffrey Ballet

Feb. 28

Elliott Hall of Music, West Lafayette

I was knocked out by choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s “After the Rain” when it was presented by dancers from the San Francisco Ballet at last year’s “Evening with the Stars” event. The fact that the piece is on the bill of this program is enough to get me in the car to head up Interstate 65 to West Lafayette. That it’s being performed by one of the leading ballet companies in the world makes it even more of a worthwhile trek. Also on the bill: “Age of Innocence” and “Le Sacre du Printemps.” Details here.

 

“Masters of Illusion Live”

Feb. 23

Clowes Hall

A rotating-performance cast keeps this prestidigitation showcase fresh—and the magicians expected to rotate in for this one-night-only show include Angela Acosta, Farrell Dillon, Michael Giles, Rick Thomas and Tom Burgoon. Details here.

 

Also this week

On Feb 23, I’ll be serving as auctioneer and host for Families First’s annual Stand Up for Families benefit at the downtown Sheraton featuring Tammy Pescatelli. Details here.

Eric Zuber performs with the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra Feb. 24 at the Indiana History Center as part of the American Pianists Association’s Classical Fellowship Awards competition. Details here.

  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.
