Police are searching for an armed man who robbed an Indianapolis grocery store and fired at a security officer. Surveillance
cameras caught the robbery at the Aldi grocery store in the 5200 block of Keystone Avenue on Tuesday afternoon. Police said
a uniformed security guard followed the robber into the parking lot, where the suspect fired at him before driving away.

One teenager hit by an alleged drunk driver remains in critical condition and her friend has been upgraded to serious condition.
The two were walking on a sidewalk Tuesday night along Keystone Avenue near East 28th Street when a 36-year-old man allegedly
drove over the curb and hit them. Witnesses told police that Dwayne Holloway swerved off the road to avoid hitting a van,
then drove away and hit a parked car. He   was arrested while walking away from the second accident scene. Authorities
say Holloway has an extensive criminal history, including driving while intoxicated and marijuana possession. Fox 59 will
have more at 4 p.m.

The familiar Disney animated short won’t be accompanying the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s presentation of
“Peter and the Wolf.” Instead, this concert makes use of the 2008 Oscar-winning short featuring stop-motion animation,
puppets and digital photography. Don’t worry, the duck, bird and cat are still played by oboe, flute and clarinet. For
a peek at the film, click here. For details on the concert, click here.

In 1975, two shows opened on Broadway within weeks of each other. One featured big stars, a scandalous story and a legendary
director. The other featured a no-name cast, no set to speak of, and little by way of plot.
The first did respectable business but struggled at the box office. The second won a Pulitzer and a Tony, and became the
longest running show up to that time in Broadway history.
The first was “Chicago.” The second was “A Chorus Line.”
Both shows have had interesting afterlives. “A Chorus Line” devolved into a train-wreck of a movie. “Chicago,”
meanwhile, sparked an Oscar-winning Best Picture. On the other foot, the 1996 revival of “Chicago” is still running
on Broadway (making it the reigning longest redo ever) while the 2006 “Chorus Line” remount earned back its investment
but didn’t generate much excitement.
While it had many regional productions in between, “A Chorus Line” will be a new experience for many audience
members. Here’s hoping at least some of the original magic remains in this singular sensation. Details here.

The term “ambulance chaser” doesn’t seem so bad when it applies to a photographer capable of producing
what Arthur Fellig did.
Better known as Weegee, Fellig turned the underbelly of New York City into a stark, black-and-white world, primarily during
the 1930s and 1940s. His book “Naked City” was the inspiration for the 1948 film “The Naked City”
(which, to no surprise, won an Oscar for Best Cinematography).
This exhibition will feature 48 of his works from among 210 acquired by the IMA in 2008. Included are crime scene shots,
celebrity photos and clandestine photos of movie theater audiences (taken with infrared film). Details here.
