Beef & Boards Dinner Theater

If this production looks and sounds a little familiar, it could be because you caught leads Tim Barsten and Jessica Murphy
when they played star-crossed lovers Troy and Gabrielle in American Cabaret Theatre’s production back in 2007.

Of course, it could just be that you have kids and they watched it dozens of times on the Disney Channel, bought the disc
and DVD, followed the sequels, saw the concert tour, the live-on-stage tour, and/or the ice show.

Whatever the case, the phenomenon known as “High School Musical” is getting its Beef and Boards debut. And I’ll
be there…with kids, of course. Details here.

Military Park

Gordon, from “Sesame Street,” will be one of the big names of kid TV at this year’s PBS Kids in the Park.

Now, if Orman doesn’t look familiar, it could be because you’re of my generation and my generation’s Gordon
was the original Gordon, Matt Robinson. Orman, however, has been playing the part since 1973, which makes him a lot of people’s
Gordon. (It’s unlikely that he’ll be talking about it here, but Orman also played the title role in the 1973 film
“Willie Dynamite.” Even more impressed now?)

This year’s edition of the annual free outdoor event moves to Military Park and includes “Habla Blah Blah,”

capacity is 330 animals. It’s now housing 400 dogs and cats. Stacked crates line the hallways and fill the lobby and

it if it remains over capacity.

Indianapolis police are looking for two men who held up numerous people early Tuesday on the west side of Indianapolis. Police
say two of the victims were talking inside a car at the Cambridge Station Apartments of West 10th Street when they were approached
