Say what you want about the last three
(or first three, depending on how you are counting) “Star Wars” movies. Say what you want about the recent “Clone
Wars” television spinoff. Say what you want about Jar-Jar Binks.

But has anyone said anything less than positive
about John Williams’ now-iconic music for the science fiction saga? That orchestral score is the focus of this event,
in which a symphony plays, accompanied by scenes from the films on three-story video screens.

To sweeten the deal,
Anthony Daniels (who appeared in all six films as C-3PO) narrates live and in person. Details here.

Indiana Repertory Theatre

A.R. Gurney has written many
plays, (including “The Dining Room,” “The Cocktail Hour” and “The Middle Ages”) but he
truly became a friend to theaters across the country when he wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winner “Love Letters.”

Why?
It’s easy to stage. The set is only a desk and two chairs, and the play requires just two actors, neither of whom has
to memorize lines or be of a particular age. Since its premiere, “Love Letters” has been performed by a who’s
who of actors, including such pairs as Elizabeth Taylor and James Earl Jones, Jason Robards and Colleen Dewhurst, Sigourney
Weaver and Jeff Daniels, and Hal Linden and Barbara Eden (better known as Barney Miller and Jeannie).

In the IRT’s
production, the letter-writers will be Patrick Clear and Priscilla Lindsay, who also appeared together in 2004’s “Plaza
Suite.”

Second Presbyterian Church

The complete version of Handel’s
“Messiah” focuses much more on Easter events than Christmas ones. But that hasn’t stopped one of the world’s
best-known oratorios from becoming a powerful December tradition.

This version is a joint effort of the Indianapolis
Chamber Orchestra, Encore Vocal Arts and the Second Presbyterian Sanctuary Choir. They’ll be joined by soprano Serena
Benedetti and other soloists for two performances at Second Pres. Details here.
