Outside hackers have tapped into the credit card machines at Marco's Restaurant & Lounge, stealing card numbers from
customers. Owner Mark Poulos, who learned of the thefts last week, said as many as 500 customers have been hit, and some had
their accounts wiped out. Investigators are trying to learn how hackers broke through firewalls and encryption software.
Indianapolis Colts star receiver Reggie Wayne admits in court papers to giving his alleged mistress his debit card and access
to his home. Wayne is embroiled in a credit card fraud investigation after reporting the debit card stolen. Police raided
the home of Natasha McKenzie, 26, last week. Court papers say McKenzie rang up 333 charges on Wayne’s debit card, totaling
about $95,000. She not only bought furniture and electronics for her condo, but took “orders from friends and family
… apparently charging them half-price plus a small fee." McKenzie says Wayne gave her permission to ring up the charges,
but Wayne denies it. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.

Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center/Cabaret at the Columbia Club
Under most conditions, I wouldn’t steer you toward a high school singing event. But this is different. On June 4, the
10 finalists in the Second Annual Great American Songbook competition will participate in a master class with judges Michael
Feinstein and Sylvia McNair. The finals themselves will be June 5, with the winner scoring a trip to sing in New York with
Feinstein.
If you want to hear more from Feinstein, McNair and other talented judges, check out the fundraising dinner and performance
Saturday at the Cabaret at the Columbia Club. Details here.

Seven original art installations may not constitute a “nation,” but this second-annual event does create its
own unique world.

are invited to wander into these 20-foot-long creations to see what Andrew Ball of Indianapolis, Xiaoou Sun of Bloomington,
Sara Wong of Terre Haute and others have created specifically for this weekend. Tents will house food and musicians to round

One of Indy’s top architects, Evans Woollen, gets his due in a multi-part weekend of events. First, he’ll be
offering a June 3 lecture at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Then six Woollen-designed private homes built between 1955 and
1965 in the modernist style will be featured in a “Back to the Future” tour (maps available at the sites as well
as other locations, including Clowes Hall—which Woollen also designed). Finally, the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary
Art will open a show about him June 4. Details here.

Murat Theatre
If you had asked me a couple of years ago to name a singing group whose story I’d like to see brought to life on the
musical theater stage, I don’t think The Four Seasons would have been high on the list.
But through some sort of theatrical alchemy, director Des McAnuff, book writers Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman, solid casting
(at least the two times I’ve seen it elsewhere) and, yes, terrific song after song after song have turned what could
have been just a glorified, live episode of VH1’s “Behind the Music” into infectious, hurt-your-hands clapping
entertainment. It’s not just a hit machine, though. This is a show about people you care about.
