 Last year, he knocked out a Hilbert Circle Theatre crowd with a show with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. This time, Ben Folds is back on more familiar terrain with his combo. Expect the same can’t-stop-singing-along crowd and an equal amount of in-the-moment energy from the “Sing-off” host. Details here.

The historic theater celebrates its 90th anniversary with Friday performances by the Michigan-based vaudeville troupe The Lil’ Darlins. Prices will be adjusted to 1922 levels, meaning a quarter for the show and a nickel for popcorn. On Saturday, the prices are a bit higher for a benefit that includes hors d’oeuvres, drinks and a screening of the Harold Lloyd silent film “Grandma’s Boy” with the score performed by the 10-piece Franklin Chamber Players. 1920s attire is encouraged.

Central Library

 Yes, there will be lots of other authors there. But the Indiana author rock star of the moment is John Green, winner of this year’s Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award for National Writer. With a pile of best-selling young adult novels that have effectively crossed over into adult hands, Green is likely to be the big draw for a day of activity leading up to the awards program.

What I don’t like about Art vs. Art is that its paint day is always the same as the Penrod Art Fair. What I do like about Art vs. Art is just about everything else. I like the spirit of competition. I like the sense of humor infused into the event. I like the music by the Leisure Kings Big Band. I like the way it brings different audiences together. And I like the fact that this is a birthed-in-Indianapolis event that has proven wildly popular. What is it? It’s a bracketed battle between works of art. The winners move on to the next round and the losers either are bought at auction or destroyed onstage in sickly creative ways. Details here.
