White Rabbit Cabaret

Katie Angel, producer of last year’s sold-out “What Would the Neighbors Think,” has launched a new company, Angel Burlesque, focused on burlesque with a contemporary attitude. When I reviewed her earlier show, I said, “Don’t be surprised if old-school burlesque becomes the next big form of alternative entertainment here. Think roller derby without the risk of bruising.”

Thanks to Angel and her angels (both women and men), you’ll have a chance to experience the bumps and grinds for yourself at this and future shows at the recently opened Fountain Square venue. Details here.

Radio Radio and Fountain Square Theatre

One of the most anticipated Indy music traditions is the annual Tonic Ball, benefiting Second Helpings. This year’s setup: A long list of Indy bands (including Bigger Than Elvis and Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes) perform the music of Led Zeppelin at the adults-only Radio Radio, while another equally impressive lineup (including Otis Gibbs, Tad Armstrong, and The Vulgar Boatmen) takes on Bob Dylan tunes at family-friendly Fountain Square Theatre. Meanwhile, the Tonic Gallery at nearby AV Framing Gallery offers work by more than 50 local artists. Details here.
