The Fourth Wall at the White Rabbit Cabaret on May 10th

by

The Indiana based “hybrid arts” ensemble, The Fourth Wall, will make its debut in Indianapolis this month with a performance at the White Rabbit Cabaret on Thursday, May 10th at 8pm.
21 and over, $5 at the door.

Audiences will see a flute player dancing “en pointe” as she plays the character of a mechanical ballerina, a trombone player singing and playing at the same time (while playing a percussion instrument attached to his hat) and a percussionist playing half of a flute. And that is only a small part of what they do – you have to see it to believe it.

The Fourth Wall is a unique ensemble that explores a hybrid of the performing arts in which musicians are also dancers and actors. Stretching the boundaries of instrumental performance, the ensemble commissions new works and reinterprets established repertoire to make music that leaps from the stage. The Fourth Wall is comprised of flutist Hilary Abigana, bass trombonist C. Neil Parsons and percussionist Greg Jukes. The ensemble has presented their unique style of performing from coast to coast, mainly at universities, so these public performances will be the first chance for Indianapolis audiences to experience the hybrid arts.

Please note that while The Fourth Wall’s performances are appropriate for all ages, the White Rabbit is a 21 and over establishment. Doors open at 7 pm and the performance begins at 8 pm. There is a $5 cover charge at the door

Stutz Artists Association 19th Annual Open House 2012

by

The Stutz Artists Association will host its 19th annual open house April 27 and 28, 2012.

More than 70 artists open their studios to visitors during the two-day event. It’s not only an opportunity to see the work of 70 local artists in one place at one time, it’s a chance to see where and how the work is created. Artwork ranges from paintings, drawings and photography, to sculpture, jewelry and furniture.

Having been involved with the open house as an artist the past few years, here are a few tips for first timers.

    • Free parking is available.
    • Tickets cost $12 at the door both days. Re-entry on Saturday is $8 if you bring your Friday night ticket stub.
    • Friday night is more of a party atmosphere which includes refreshments by some of the studios.
    • On Friday night there are a lot more people in attendance than on Saturday.
    • There is live entertainment throughout the building as well food and beverage vendors.
    • If you’re planning on purchasing, most artists accept cash and credit cards.
    • Saturday is more laid back and is a great day to take children to enjoy the art, and there are usually a few spots kids can create their own artwork.
    • Some artists do not want photos taken of their artwork.  If you would like to do so, please ask permission first.
    • While in the building, be sure to check out Turner’s car collection which will be on display.
    • If you’re on twitter, use the hashtag #StutzArtists in your tweets.

If you go we’d love to hear your thoughts and what purchases you made.

The Music Man at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

by

There’s trouble in River City, and it’s never been more fun than in “The Music Man” at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. One of America’s most beloved shows, this six-time Tony Award winner by Meredith Willson has marched onto the Beef & Boards stage with performances continuing through May 25.

Fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill comes to River City, Iowa, where he cons its citizens into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef! His scheme to skip town with the cash hits a snag when he falls for Marian the librarian.

Curt Dale Clark stars as con man Harold Hill in the Beef & Boards production, with newcomer and Iowa native Katie Sina in the role of Marian. The cast also features Beef & Boards favorites: Jeff Stockberger, John Vessels, Kenny Shepard and Doug Stark, among others. The show is directed by Eddie Curry and choreographed by Ron Morgan.

Tickets range from $37 to $60 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet, coffee and tea. Discounts are available for groups and children ages 3-15.

For reservations, call the Beef & Boards Box Office at 317.872.9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays. For more information, including show schedule, visit www.beefandboards.com.

“The Music Man” is sponsored in part by Indianapolis Woman Magazine and Indy’s Child.
