The Dixie Swim Club at Beef & Boards Theatre

January 17, 2012

As a theater goer, you have to be careful when the words on the playbill say “touching,” “heartfelt,” or “poignant,” because some time during the evening, someone is going to cry. I started my third year of attending Beef & Boards Theatre shows at the opening night of “The Dixie Swim Club,” the opening show [...]

Beef and Boards’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ Fills With Christmas Spirit

December 5, 2011

I was worried about how Beef and Board would do A Christmas Carol in one hour, especially with songs and music. It’s always a two-hour show when they show the Patrick Stewart (aka Captain Jean-Luc Picard) playing Ebenezer Scrooge version on TNT, although they have commercials. On the other hand, no one breaks into song [...]

More November Fun in Brown County

November 3, 2011

While the lines of traffic and herds of fall foliage seekers may have packed up and fled Brown County at the end of October, next weekend presents a great opportunity to visit this always beautiful area of Indiana. With so much on the schedule, you won’t miss the now-fading fall colors one bit! Below I’ve listed a [...]

The Art and Earth Trail in Northern Indiana

October 28, 2011

There’s a lot to do in Northern Indiana. So much that you could take about 7 weekends to get visit that region, and still not see everything there is to see. The Northern Indiana Tourism Development Commission has plotted out 7 driving trails to help you get a handle on what’s going on in their [...]

Ball State ‘The Circus in Winter’ is an Absolute Must-See Musical

October 6, 2011

Students at Ball State University have produced an incredible musical by adapting my friend Cathy Day’s novel, The Circus In Winter. What I saw was an amazing performance that rivals and even exceeds many of the professional performances I’ve seen over the years. And, if the announcement at the beginning of the play by department [...]

I’ll Have a Side of Theatre with My Dinner

September 16, 2011

During a visit to Poland this past year, I was fortunate to have a host with a reverent passion for classical music. He shared with my sister and I Poland’s rich musical history and the great work of Polish composer, Frédéric Chopin. This brief encounter has made me especially curious to see the Indianapolis Symphony [...]

Faeries, Sprites and Lights at Minnetrista is a faerie wonderland!

July 5, 2011

On a Friday night in July, I will step through a magical door and onto the brick paths of Oakhurst Gardens at Minnetrista. There will be luminaries lighting my path. I will be holding hands with my tiny daughters, dressed in faeirie wings and glitter paint. Folk music will fill the gardens, along with laughter, [...]

Forget Everything You Think You Know About Tutus

April 28, 2011

Why would the soccer player/slalom skier/sport-enthusiast roommate want to go to a ballet or even listen to classical music for three hours? I went because I knew it was important to support my roommates in their senior year production of The Nutcracker. What were my expectations? Lots of frilly tutus (SICK!), some jumping, some spinning, [...]

Listen To Your Mother Show in Valparaiso

April 5, 2011

If you’re anything like me, each year Mother’s Day rolls around and I scramble to pick up some fresh flowers and a card at the grocery store. Now that I’m a mother myself, I realize that this is not the most thoughtful way to show my mom how much she means to me and to [...]
