Woman robbed in Garfield Park

An Indianapolis woman said she was beaten and robbed by two men on her way home through Garfield Park Monday night. Jennifer Kelly told police she was taking a shortcut through the park when two men jumped her from behind. One of the men held her down, she said, while the other hit her and searched for cash. The attack lasted about 10 minutes, she said. The bandits stole $10 and a pack of cigarettes. Kelly called 911 and ran after the men to see which way they went. She described one of her attackers as white, about 25 years old, with a “spiky” goatee.

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.

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.
