Man gets 253 years for molesting
A central Indiana man has been sentenced to 253 years in prison for child molestation—an offense for which he already has served time behind bars. A Madison County judge sentenced 37-year-old William Everage of Anderson on Monday. Everage pleaded guilty last month to 19 counts of child molesting. A jury trial for Jessica Tooley, Everage's girlfriend, is scheduled for July 17. Prosecutors allege the pair molested an 11-year-old girl late last year. Everage was released from prison in 2010 after serving five years for two child molesting convictions.

First Friday Food Truck Festival
July 6
Old National Centre Parking Lot
I’m still not entirely convinced of the value of a food truck festival. After all, how many meals can one person have while standing in a parking lot? And should one pay a cover price to do so? (OK, so maybe I should actually go one of these months and discover the appeal for myself.) But I am impressed that 30 trucks and their chefs are participating. And that live music, games and a kid zone are part of the event. Details here.
First Friday
July 6
Various locations
Whether or not you indulge in the food truck fair (see below), there are plenty of places to stop on First Friday, the monthly gallery-hopping evening sponsored by the Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association. Two potential starting points: the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library, where Bob Marks’ pegboard work (it’s a different piece, depending on which hole you use to hang it) is being showcased; or the Harrison Center for the Arts, featuring “India: No Place Like Home,” the first exhibition as part of its Global Art Exchange. Details here.
“Cabaret”
July 6-21
Athenaeum Theatre
For me, “Cabaret” is the most anticipated Indy theater production of the summer. Why? Well, besides the great set of songs, memorable characters and compelling story in the ground-breaking show, director/producer Bob Harbin has cast Claire Wilcher in the lead. A dynamic local singer and actress with a powerful voice, Wilcher isn’t in the mold of Liza Minnelli, Jane Horrocks, Natasha Richardson or any of the other actresses who have put their indelible stamp on the central role of Sally Bowles. As such, I’m hoping for a brand new look at a great show. Ben Tebbe of “Avenue Q” and Paul D. Nicely of “Godspell” are also on hand to round out the leads. Note: In an unusual performance schedule, there is only one show on opening weekend. Details here.
