I previously gave a sneak peek at some of the Pops concerts on the way from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (including appearances by Maureen McGovern and Marvin Hamlisch as well as a Florence Henderson/Shirley Jones TV mamas double bill).
Today, though,…
D.C. botch: Art at the ballpark
The unveiling of the fairly hideous new artwork at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. (see article and photos here) got me wondering if anyone has done this sort of fusion of sports arena and visual art any better.

DINING: Stanley’s New York Deli serves 86th and Ditch neighborhood
While newcomer Stanley’s doesn’t have the scale or history of Shapiro’s, it’s making
a valiant effort to bring real deli back to the neighborhoods near 86th Street and Ditch Road.
You-review-it Monday
So was it a visit to the American Pianists Association Fellowship Awards finals with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra? A gallery hopping First Friday? A trip to the multiplex for a movie?
For me, the weekend was a low-key one–but I was…
A&E: Come (back) to the Cabaret-WEB ONLY
This week, the reborn American Cabaret Theatre and a symphonic circus draw packed houses. I haven’t heard anyone else say it in print, so let me put it right out there: American Cabaret Theatre was often an embarrassment. That isn’t to say the long-standing Indy theater company didn’t feature some outstanding singers. It’s just that, […]

Critic axed by Cleveland Orch?
The fascinating story of the battle between The Cleveland Plain Dealer, its high-profile music critic, and the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra has been a long-standing buzz topic in the arts world.
In short, critic consistantly writes negatively about maestro. Symphony pressures newspaper….
Review: ‘Drowsy Chaperone’ at IU
The major colleges that ring Central Indiana often host touring shows that aren’t part of the Broadway in Indianapolis series (the Reuben Studdard/Frenchie Davis tour of “Ain’t Misbehavin’ is next at Purdue).
For me, the appearance of a yet-unseen show…

LOU’S VIEWS: Block party at the Children’s Museum
At the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, I spent quality time at "Lego Castle Adventure," which features impressively
massive Lego sculptures, a dress-up area, some instructional sessions on castle construction and lots of tables and lego pieces
for building.

So let’s hear it.
Did you get to DK at the IRT? (My thoughts here.) HART at the Indy Fringe building? (My thoughts here.) Did you Cirque with the Symphony (I’ll review in an upcoming IBJ) or go modren…
A&E Block party: Going Lego at the Children’s Museum-WEB ONLY
My intention on my latest visit to The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis was to check out the new “Star Wars: the Clone Wars, the Exhibition,” but I found little of interest there to anyone but the hard-core fan. While I appreciate that not everything at the largely hands-on local treasure can be interactive, I was […]
