    Usually I don’t tout already running shows in this e-mail, keeping it dedicated to previews and
saving the reviews for the print IBJ and my blog, Lou Harry’s A&E. But given the nature of IndyFringe (and given
that it’s a slow week), I thought I’d take the opportunity to re-encourage you to take advantage of the wackiness
going on around Mass Ave. through Sunday.
    Two favorites so far: local ShadowApe Theatre Company’s “Not a Peep” which, like the
titular Easter treat, has no nutritional value but is deliciously fun, and the not-for-delicate-sensibilities “Screw
You Review,” in which an obnoxious senior and cross-dressing sidekick set out to offend everyone and, as a result, end
up very endearing. “Peep” has shows remaining Thursday and Sunday at Theatre on the Square. “Revue”
can be found at the IndyFringe Building Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For a full schedule, click here.

What’s it like working with one of the legends of contemporary dance—then taking over your own troupe? What does it feel like to be the only actor on stage for an hour-and-a-half play? What’s coming up in the 2010/2011 A&E season that you really need to put on your cultural radar?

Those are just some of the questions that will be answered at this free, open-to-the-public event. Lou Harry, IBJ arts & entertainment editor (that’s me), will discuss the season, interview David Hochoy of Dance Kaleidoscope and Milicent Wright of the Indiana Repertory Theatre, present performances by Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Principal Contrabassist Ju-Fang Liu and cast members of Actors Theatre of Indiana’s “A Year With Frog and Toad,” and lead audience participation games.

The prizes? Packages from the ISO, Indianapolis Opera, Encore Vocal Arts, Indianapolis Art Center, Actors Theatre of Indiana, Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Storytelling Arts of Indiana, Dance Kaleidoscope, Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Indiana History Center, Indianapolis Children’s Choir, Cabaret at the Columbia Club, the Phoenix Theatre and more.

And did I mention that food and drink will be provided?

While the stars are in short supply again this year (what’s the deal with that, Hollywood?), there are plenty of worthy films among the 101 being screened at this year’s Heartland Film Festival. At IBJ, we’ve spent the last month screening many of this year’s offerings. Watching them at home isn’t quite the same as seeing them on the big screen, but we think we’ve identified some of the best. You can find reviews of those here, and I’ll be adding more at Lou Harry’s A&E, my IBJ blog, which you can find here.
