A manhunt is under way for three men who police say forced a man to withdraw cash from an ATM early Wednesday morning near East 46th Street and Arlington Avenue. The victim had just gotten off work when three young men asked him for a ride. Once they got in his truck, one of them pulled a gun out and told him to drive to a nearby ATM, according to police. The victim got $20 from the ATM, then dropped the suspects off near Sheridan Avenue and Meadowlark Drive. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.

Indiana State Museum

A “coral” reef—consisting of the work of volunteer crocheters from around the state—is displayed through the end of October. But don’t expect it to look exactly the same each time you stop in. Visitors can bring their own pieces—or pick up a handy beginners kit at the Museum—to add to the work, which is an offshore offshoot of “Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project” created for the Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles.

Sept. 3-26
Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace

Youth sports have a long history of bringing together parents who might otherwise never meet. That’s the foundational idea in Richard Dresser’s play, in which a tough-as-nails, blue collar coach finds himself at philosophical odds with his new assistant, a businessman with a let-the-kids-have-fun attitude. If it sounds like “The Odd Couple” on a baseball diamond, well, what would be so wrong with that?

The production comes courtesy of Actors Theatre of Indiana, the professional company set to move into the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel next season. For now, it’s using the Clay Terrace digs of the Carmel Community Players. Details here.
