Patrons attending Indianapolis Civic Theatre's production of "Carousel" have been privy to the company's lineup for 2010-2001--the last before it packs up and moves to the new Regional Performing Arts Center in Carmel.
Coming up:
Sept 10-25: "Annie."
Oct. 29-Nov. 13: "The Belle of Amhest," the one-woman play about Emily Dickinson.
Dec. 10-Jan. 1: "Beauty and the Beast."
Jan. 21-Feb. 5: "The Last Night at Ballyhoo" by Alfred Uhry (of "Driving Miss Daisy" fame)
March 11-26: "Cabaret."
May 6-21: "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940."
Your thoughts on the season?
And what shows would you like to see in the first season at Civic's new home?

Beauty and The Beast is such a HUGE production I can't image how much it will have to be scaled down for the Civic. It's also on the line up for Chicago's Broadway Across America series.
We just saw Cabaret within the last 3 years downtown, so as much as I love that one, I think I'll pass.
As for the other 3, I am not familiar with them enough to judge. Will have to learn more before I decide.
It does seem to me that the local theaters do tend to choose the same stuff a lot. Joseph...Dreamcoat, Annie, and Wizard of Oz to name a few seem to pop up every year somewhere in town. I'd like to see more variety.
Next year's season line-up is a real yawner. Has another theatre already done The Allergist's Wife? If not, I would love to see that done in Indianapolis....but not in Carmel.
For the past almost three years I have seen 100+ shows per year in the Indianapolis area and the only show in the above line-up that I have already seen before is "Annie."
I am looking forward to the whole season.
