Conseco Fieldhouse

You may not hear it from most mainstream theater reviewers (who often ignore his work), but the fact is Tyler Perry may well be the most popular playwright in America. Yes, the guy who dons grandmotherly drag at the movies has proven adept at filling theaters.

Take this musical for instance, which is bypassing such tiny, tiny theaters as Clowes Hall, the Murat and IU Auditorium to, instead, play Conseco Fieldhouse. Nobody short of Cirque du Soleil can pull that off. Attention must be paid—especially if you think commercial theater is dead.

The show concerns a woman who, after finding out she has cancer, takes her family on a vacation. True to form, it includes play-to-the-rafters jokes and raise-those-same-rafters music. Details here.
 

Indianapolis police say a woman was driving drunk when she hit another car at the Marathon gas station near East 21st Street and North Mitthoeffer Road early Tuesday morning. The victim’s car hit a gas pump, knocking it from its pedestal. An automatic shut-off valve stopped a potential leak or explosion. The driver hit a second car before being arrested.

Indianapolis police think a serial robber may be responsible for two overnight robberies. A clerk at the Days Inn on Craig Street in Castleton was robbed at gunpoint early Tuesday morning. Then, a Village Pantry at 95th Street and Hague Road was robbed a few minutes later. Investigators say this is likely the same man that's been robbing businesses on the northeast side for several weeks. A man in a black truck followed the suspect, but stopped after the man started shooting at him. No one was hurt.
 

The strong line of storms that triggered tornado warnings throughout central Indiana this morning has passed, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Duke Energy reported more than 40,000 power outages across central and southern Indiana, and Indianapolis Power & Light reported nearly 16,000 in the dark. In Kokomo, the storm knocked over a house. A firefighter and his wife were inside at the time, but weren’t injured. Rescuers also spent time this morning getting a mother and her young child out of a house after a tree fell on it in Madison County. In Marion County, most of the damage is from tree limbs blowing onto vehicles or roadways. A high-wind warning is in effect until 8 p.m. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.
