Man critically injured in home fire

An Indianapolis man was critically injured Thursday morning in a fire on the city’s near-south side. Firefighters pulled
the unidentified man from his burning home in the 800 block of Minnesota Street about 6 a.m. The homeowner called 911 to report
the fire but failed to get out before firefighters arrived at the scene. Rescue attempts were complicated by clutter blocking
the front door and several side windows.

The Humana Festival of New American Plays

Through March 28
Actors Theatre of Louisville

Every year, I do my best to prod theater lovers from Indy into taking the relatively short trek to Louisville for the Humana
Festival of New American Plays.

By definition, it’s tough to sell the festival based on titles, given that it’s all untested new work. And, most
years (including this one), it’s also tough to push specific playwrights, since it’s unlikely that you’ve
been exposed to the work of Lisa Dillman or Dan O’Brien. You might recall Deborah Zoe Laufer, whose “End Days”
was performed here at the Phoenix a few seasons back.

I often fall back on past work to make the Humana Fest case, reminding anyone who will listen that such recent winners as
“Becky Shaw” and the Pulitzer-winning “Dinner with Friends” launched at Humana, taking their place
alongside such now-canonical shows as “Crimes of the Heart” and “The Gin Game.”

How about just a general prodding? Some of my best theatrical experiences of the last dozen or so years have come courtesy
of this internationally known fest. Go. Details here.

 

“Carousel”

March 12-28
Indianapolis Civic Theatre

If you haven’t seen “Carousel” in years (or only saw the movie), you might be surprised at how dark the
Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpiece is. At least it is before the “end of the storm.”

With its anger-management-challenged leading man and a damaged leading lady who is “quieter and deeper than a well,”
“Carousel” daringly paints its characters as real people, not theater archetypes. Success for productions of it
depends on finding the balance between the beauty of its rousing, haunting, stunning score and the inarticulate lives of its
characters. The key to “Carousel” is that, like us, its characters don’t always say what they mean or what
they feel. Or even know what they mean or feel.

When it works, this is as good as musical theater gets. For details on Indianapolis Civic Theatre’s production, click
