CIVIC THEATRE OPENS SEASON OF RAVES WITH A CHORUS LINE
2012-2013 Mainstage Season Premieres with Broadway Classic
Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is set to draw the curtain on its 98th season with A Chorus Line. The nine-time Tony Award winning Broadway favorite will open Friday, September 7, and run through Saturday, September 22, at The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
One of the longest-running American Broadway musicals of all time, A Chorus Line tells the story of 17 dancers, auditioning for the chance of a lifetime. On a bare stage, in an empty theatre, each character exposes every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives to do what they’ve always dreamed of – dance.
A Chorus Line is based on the book by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, with music from beloved American composer Marvin Hamlisch, who passed away earlier this month. Theatergoers will enjoy famed hits like “What I Did for Love” and “One.”
Don’t miss the chance to see this singular sensation on a local stage! Showtimes are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7pm, last Saturday at 5pm and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets are $44 for adults and $34 for youth, 17 and under. This show contains adult content and is not suitable for children.

Indiana is no stranger to cars of all shapes and sizes, classic and new alike, and neither is Steve Ring. Since the early 1980s, Steve has been collecting and restoring cars and at 48 years of age decided 17 years in the corporate world were enough. He left his full time career to pursue his lifelong passion for vintage cars and opened Ringo’s Vintage Cars, located in Broad Ripple.
The Inaugural Broad Ripple Classic Car Show, hosted by Ringo’s, is Sunday, September 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Broad Ripple Park. FREE to the public, this first of its kind show in Broad Ripple is perfect for families, vintage car enthusiasts, collectors and anyone looking for something a bit different on a Sunday afternoon. Trophies will be awarded for Best in Class and Best Custom Car, and a cruise around the Broad Ripple neighborhood is scheduled after the close of the show (4 p.m.). Look for handouts with suggested routes. All cars are welcome. And if you happen to see Steve on Sunday, ask him about his bucket list – the 1967 Corvette 427/435hp.
