Oct. 12-13
MadameWalker Theatre
Know No Stranger presents the fourth annual edition of its whimsical showcase. And while I am as in the dark as you are about this year’s content, the ticket pricing system should give you some idea of what you are in for. Admission starts at $15, but you can get $5 off if you let Know No Stranger give you a bad haircut, $2 off if you are missing a fingernail, $3 off if you remove the sleeves of your shirt in the presence of the ticket master, $1 off if you wear a coat made of carpet. You get the idea. Or maybe you don’t—in which case, you may actually be getting the idea. Details here.
Jonathan Groff
Oct. 13
Cabaret at the Columbia Club
Yes, the Broadway production of “Spring Awakening” had a terrific score, intense choreography and edgy direction. It also had a charming, smart, searching, compelling young actor in the lead role. A few years older now, that actor, Jonathan Groff, has broadened his appeal playing Jessie St. James on TV’s “Glee,” while also hitting the cabarets. On these smaller stages, he’s as likely to be heard singing a Stevie Wonder or Joni Mitchell song as he is to be singing a Broadway tune. Details here.
Project IMA
Oct. 11
The Toby
I’m not quite sure what you’ll be seeing at the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s runway fashion show. But I do know you won’t find at Target the one-of-a-kind designs you’ll see. The emphasis is on avant-garde, not practicality, in work by local and national designers and artists. Details here.

Crown Hill Cemetery
Bring a picnic, a blanket and the arm of a friend or family member to clutch when Storytelling Arts takes its tale-tellers to Crown Hill Cemetery. The earlier stories should be suitable for the kids, but as the evening darkens, so do the plots. An early V.I.P. option includes music and refreshments in the Gothic Chapel and a graveyard tour. Details here.

COLLINS: Of Hooters, zombies and senators
Today, let’s take a look at debates that do not involve Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. You can thank me later.
MYERS: Monitoring health with an iPhone
I did not wait in line to get my new iPhone 5; I ordered it online and it arrived exactly when they said it would. The battery was charged when I got it out of the package, and it took all of about 10 minutes to transfer (using the “cloud”) all of the stuff from my antiquated iPhone 3GS.
TAFT: An excellent adventure in Portlandia
I am sitting on a plane with 90 representatives of Indianapolis returning from a leadership exchange to Portland, Ore., trying to puzzle out what we can learn from a city that is so different from our hometown. Portland is similar in size and has a blue-collar history like Indianapolis, but it followed a very different path the past 30 years.
SWAYZE: The real ‘war’ is now about abortion
The slogan “war on women” has gained traction in the election, but it is an old notion and a war that’s already been won.
RIVERA: Others should follow Hoosier leadership
When good men and women fail to lead, problems get worse. This has happened for too long, and now we need concrete proposals from our candidates for state and federal offices that address the crises that threaten our republic.
VANE: Pence is the substance candidate
If there is a word to describe the 2012 gubernatorial race, I would have to choose “curious.”

After reams of newsprint and a bazillion 1’s and 0’s on the Internet bemoaning the state of public education in general and Indianapolis Public Schools in particular, you finally get your chance to weigh in.

With the political landscape littered with failed attempts to end impasse and frustrated citizens worried about the need for change, many voters are saying they intend to vote for the man, not the party. Apparently they think this approach will get results.
