David Sedaris
April 24
Clowes Hall
Since the publication of his account of being a department store elf (“The Santaland Diaries”), David Sedaris has become a best-selling author, coveted contributor to NPR’s “This American Life,” an in-demand live performer, and (for me, selfishly) a talent whose hilarious books on tape have helped me survive many a long car ride. On Tuesday, he brings his solo show to Clowes Hall. Expect loyalists to turn out and newcomers to be converted to his unique brand of personal comedy. Details here.
“The History of Cardenio”
April 19-28
IUPUI Theatre
Did William Shakespeare actually co-author a play called “The History of Cardenio?” It’s debatable (and scholars have debated it for a long time). Does “The History of Cardenio” being presented this week at IUPUI resemble at all the show presented by Shakespeare’s company the King’s Men? That’s debatable, too, since no copies exist of the actual play. Will “The History of Cardenio” hold interest beyond academia? We shall see. Will it work better on stage than this group’s previous production of “Young Hamlet”? I sincerely hope so. Am I excited that a new theater space is being launched in Indy? Absolutely. Details here.
“The Mark of Zorro”
April 20
Indianapolis Museum of Art
Before Antonio Banderas (who starred in 1998’s “The Mask of Zorro”), before Guy Hamilton (star of the hit 1957 TV series), and even before Tyrone Powell (who starred in “The Mark of Zorro” in 1940), there was Douglas Fairbanks, who swashed and buckled his way through the 1920 silent hit that introduced filmgoers to the other caped crusader. It’s being presented here with live musical accompaniment by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, juicing up the soundtrack of an adventure film (rather than a comedy) for the first time. I’ll be there, providing an introduction and soaking up the sights and sounds. Details here.
