You review it

This week, for me, included Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s “India Ever After” and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s tribute to Irving Berlin. More on both in the upcoming IBJ print edition.

I also enjoyed strolling through White River State Park for the…

So what did you do this weekend?

From “Janis Rocks” at Birdy’s to the Indianapolis Symphony’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” to “Wicked” at the Murat, there was a lot to do. 

I caught “Wicked” on Thursday (review coming up next week in the print…

Did you catch “Up” at a theater near you? Venture to Buck Creek Players to see the U.S. community theater premiere of “Grey Gardens”? Or jam with Dan Zanes at the…

The Broad Ripple Art Fair couldn’t ask for a nicer Sunday. But that annual event is far from the only event happening this past weekend. I also caught the ISO and Indianapolis Opera joining forces on Wagner at Clowes Hall,…

For me, it was a weekend primarily focused on dance–but since that dance was the recital for Village Dance Studio, where my daughter is a ten-year vet, don’t expect a review from me.

But I will say that the army of…

Yes, I know, you ran the Mini. But what else did you do this weekend?

Anybody else catch “Miss Saigon” at Footlite or “Twentieth Century” at Civic? Or find your way into one of the sneak previews of the new “Star…

Thanks to all those who came to the pre-show discussion at the Patti LuPone concert. I was honored to host it and share the time with you. I hope to write more about later–and fill you in on next year’s…

So was it a visit to the American Pianists Association Fellowship Awards finals with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra? A gallery hopping First Friday? A trip to the multiplex for a movie?

For me, the weekend was a low-key one–but I was…

So let’s hear it.

Did you get to DK at the IRT? (My thoughts here.) HART at the Indy Fringe building? (My thoughts here.) Did you Cirque with the Symphony (I’ll review in an upcoming IBJ) or go modren…

For me, the weekend included Heartland Actors Reperory Theatre’s production of Neil LaBute’s “In a Dark Dark House,” a sneak look at the very disappointing Dreamworks 3-D animated film “Monsters vs. Aliens” (Who decided that the core emotional conflict in…

Friday night at the opera. Saturday triple-header at the Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville. Sunday night catching up on back episodes of “How I Met Your Mother.” (Okay, so I’m about three years behind, but the sitcom…

My weekend included the “European Design Since 1985” show at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, “The Ladies Man” at the IRT, and “Mauritius” at the Phoenix. Plus, semi-related to the later, I finally saw the film version of David Mamet’s…

For me, the weekend included a visit to Pike Performing Arts Center to see BodyVox (more on that in an upcoming review), finishing Dennis Lehane’s epic Boston police novel “The Given Day” (the first big book in a long while that…

For me, an outstanding arts weekend included the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra/Indianapolis Museum of Art presentation of Buster Keaton’s “The General” (note to ICO/IMA: please put another one onto next year’s schedule) and Storytelling Arts of…

For me, the weekend included the tour of “Movin’ Out” at the Murat, “Crime and Punishment” at the IRT (more on this outstanding production in next week’s print IBJ), and Michael Feinstein with the Indianapolis Symphony (see previous blog post).

Did…

For me, the last few days included an opening at the Phoenix, a world premiere with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and finally getting around to watching “Love Actually.”

How about your weekend? Did you take in any First Friday events? Catch “Durang-O-Rama” or “To…

Yes, there was the amazing football game. But, for me, the weekend also included LA TheatreWorks’ production of “The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial” at Clowes and InterAction Theatre’s “Durang-o-Rama” at the IndyFringe space.

While well acted, “Monkey Trial” fell between two stools. At its…
