“The Golden Age of Indianapolis Theatres”

Available now

In his packed-with-photos “The Golden Age of Indianapolis Theaters” (Quarry Books), former Indy newsman Howard
Caldwell does a fine job of staying on the fine line between reference book and popular history. I could have used more detailed
geography—I spent far too much time trying to figure out where some of the long-gone theaters were—but I thoroughly
enjoyed being introduced to a period I knew little about. And guest appearances by the likes of Dick Powell add to its pleasures.
Side note: Caldwell tells of how Eugene O’Neill’s nine-act “Strange Interlude” sold out the balcony
and gallery of the English Theater back in the 1920s. Where are those risk-taking audiences today? More on the book here.
 

IndyFringe

Through Aug. 29
Various locations

    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
that it’s a slow week), I thought I’d take the opportunity to re-encourage you to take advantage of the wackiness
going on around Mass Ave. through Sunday.
    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
You Review,” in which an obnoxious senior and cross-dressing sidekick set out to offend everyone and, as a result, end
up very endearing. “Peep” has shows remaining Thursday and Sunday at Theatre on the Square. “Revue”
can be found at the IndyFringe Building Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For a full schedule, click here.
 

Adam Lambert

Aug. 31

Clowes Hall.

"American Idol" fans will have a decision to make this Tuesday. The crowd from season 9—including Crystal
Bowersox, Casey James and winner Lee Dewyze—takes the stage at Conseco Fieldhouse. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert, the high-profile
singer who was runner-up to Kris Allen on the eighth season of the show, plays at Clowes Hall. Well, maybe the decision isn’t
so difficult: Lambert’s show is sold out. Details here and here.
