Usually I don’t tout already running shows in this e-mail, keeping it dedicated to previews and
saving the reviews for the print IBJ and my blog, Lou Harry’s A&E. But given the nature of IndyFringe (and given

Two favorites so far: local ShadowApe Theatre Company’s “Not a Peep” which, like the
titular Easter treat, has no nutritional value but is deliciously fun, and the not-for-delicate-sensibilities “Screw

can be found at the IndyFringe Building Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For a full schedule, click here.

(though we realize it’s unlikely you’ll stop with just fries).
Since none of its initials stand for things one would find on a traditional pizzeria-style pizza, let’s break down
the P, the F, and the G in the PFG at Napolese.
Thoughts on the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s season closer … and an average day at Conner Prairie.
I think there’s a large portion
of Indianapolis that misses out on the importance of subscription packages and don’t quite understand exactly why they’re
needed to bring bigger and better shows.
There’s no water in view, but Scotty’s Lakehouse is true to its subtitle: A Burger Joint.
