MORRIS: New year should bring a new mind-set
The holiday down time has also enabled me to pull myself out of the day-to-day controlled chaos and actually take time to strategize, analyze and plan.
New year should bring a new mind-set
Happy New Year! It’s time to focus on work again—almost. It might be Jan. 10 before everyone is physically back in the office from the holiday break, but we’re close.

Through Jan. 30
Beef and Boards
The quirky, interactive “Spelling Bee” contains some decidedly PG-13 material and the least-traditional score I can think of for any B&B show—which makes the selection all the more interesting. The cast includes Sarah Hund and Jayson Elliott, two B&B regulars best remembered for their outstanding “Smoke on the Mountain” performances, plus some new faces—including a few members of the audience recruited beforehand to be part of the fictional bee. Details here.
“Why Torture is Wrong … and the People Who Love Them.”
Dec. 31-Jan. 22
Theatre on the Square
Yes, most theater seasons kick off in September—and Theatre on the Square is no exception. But the winter/spring 2011 portion of the performance year at TOTS has its own flavor, with a string of high-profile contemporary work.

OK, I’ll give a little away: Guns, code names, fallen panties and (possibly) explosive devices are involved. Sounds like a twisted way to start the new year.
Still to come at TOTS: Tracey Letts’ “Superior Donuts,” “Jerry Springer: The Opera,” and more. Details here.
New Year’s Eve events

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra teams with Dance Kaleidoscope for its New Year’s Eve in Vienna celebration. And, for something completely different, Here Come the Mummies is playing Old National Centre (it’s a band, in case you haven’t heard).
Of course, there’s always comedy, with Costaki Economopoulos taking the stage at Morty’s Comedy Joint.
Plus there’s something going on at just about every bar, restaurant and venue in town.

Drivers around central Indiana should be on the lookout for potholes. Temperatures in the 40s and 50s by the end of the week are expected to cause some rough pavement on roads and city streets. Department of Public Works crews who've been clearing snow and ice from city streets are already in street-repair mode. The freezing and thawing of pavement creates a constant challenge for DPW crews who respond to complaints left with the Mayor’s Action Center.
