Old National Centre Parking Lot

I’m still not entirely convinced of the value of a food truck festival. After all, how many meals can one person have while standing in a parking lot? And should one pay a cover price to do so? (OK, so maybe I should actually go one of these months and discover the appeal for myself.) But I am impressed that 30 trucks and their chefs are participating. And that live music, games and a kid zone are part of the event. Details here.

Various locations

Whether or not you indulge in the food truck fair (see below), there are plenty of places to stop on First Friday, the monthly gallery-hopping evening sponsored by the Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association. Two potential starting points: the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library, where Bob Marks’ pegboard work (it’s a different piece, depending on which hole you use to hang it) is being showcased; or the Harrison Center for the Arts, featuring “India: No Place Like Home,” the first exhibition as part of its Global Art Exchange. Details here.

July 6-21

Athenaeum Theatre

For me, “Cabaret” is the most anticipated Indy theater production of the summer. Why? Well, besides the great set of songs, memorable characters and compelling story in the ground-breaking show, director/producer Bob Harbin has cast Claire Wilcher in the lead. A dynamic local singer and actress with a powerful voice, Wilcher isn’t in the mold of Liza Minnelli, Jane Horrocks, Natasha Richardson or any of the other actresses who have put their indelible stamp on the central role of Sally Bowles. As such, I’m hoping for a brand new look at a great show. Ben Tebbe of “Avenue Q” and Paul D. Nicely of “Godspell” are also on hand to round out the leads. Note: In an unusual performance schedule, there is only one show on opening weekend. Details here.

An executive order that bans personal fireworks use in Marion County carries hefty fines. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard issued the emergency declaration Saturday because of the drought and severe fire risk. The ban includes Indianapolis and Speedway, but not Lawrence. It does not apply to professional fireworks displays licensed by the state. Police have been instructed to respond to first violations with warnings, but repeat violators face fines up to $2,500 or misdemeanor charges that carry penalties of up to 180 days in jail.

A weekend shooting left one person dead and another injured near 30th Street and Capitol Avenue on the north side of Indianapolis. Tavein Brashear, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene early Sunday morning near Fire Station 14. The second victim, Jarrett Hall, 19, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was taken to Wishard Hospital in good condition. Police think the shots were fired from a passing vehicle. Some of the shots struck the fire station.
