The five former Chesterfield town employees accused of stealing more than $250,000 in public funds from the Madison County

former clerk-treasurer and town manager Christopher Parrish and ex-town marshal James Kimm. They and the others are accused
of running several scams, including collecting money for bogus travel expenses, vehicle repairs and building improvements.

“The Marvelous Land of Oz”

Nov. 27-Jan. 3
Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

 

Twist endings weren’t created by O. Henry or M. Night Shyamalan. In fact, fellow initialed writer L. Frank Baum included one in “The Marvelous Land of Oz,” the first sequel to his now-iconic story.

I won’t give it away, but I will tell you that the story concerns Tip, a kid who follows in Dorothy’s footsteps, not only meeting the likes of the Scarecrow and Tin Man but also such new characters as Jack Pumpkinhead while facing off against Gen. Jinjur and her all-girl army. This week, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis launches its 40-minute production of the story, which is offered free (with museum admission) at its Lilly Theatre.

“A Very Phoenix Xmas”

Nov. 27-Dec. 20
Phoenix Theatre

For the fourth year in a row, The Phoenix Theatre has solicited short holiday-themed plays, mixed them with songs, and created “A Very Phoenix Xmas.” Those who attended previous years know that one of the pleasures of these productions comes from not knowing what’s going to happen next. As such, I’ll refrain from looking into what “The Happy Hannu-Clog” could possibly be.

Performances begin on Black Friday, which could be a good distraction from your suddenly higher credit card bills. Details here.
