Ever since Xscape took over a sizable chunk of Lafayette Square Mall late last year, I’ve heard speculation about what goes on behind its walls.

The year-old Rockstar Pizza (19 N. Green St., Brownsburg, 858-1188) earns its name honestly. The gold-record-covered walls (Britney Spears, Lenny Kravitz, etc.) and photos-with-celebs under the clear tabletops are testament to the rock and roll connections of its co-owner, former promotions rep Colby Matthews. The positive spirit of the place-I love places that proudly sponsor […]
This week, the debut of a new sketch comedy group, a good enough bedroom farce, dancing to the Beatles, and a word about “Happy Days: A New Musical.” Big laughs erupted repeatedly from the overflowing crowd on opening night of sketch comedy group Three Dollar Bill’s premiere revue “Fiddle Schticks.” Now, big laughs can be a […]

Traditionally, as the year winds down, critics’ thoughts tend toward "best of the year" lists. But I’m feeling the need for

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Yuletide Celebration features jazz/cabaret great Ann Hampton Callaway, but the show

Despite its annual appearance for many years during the holidays, “A Christmas Carol” continues to be produced creatively
by fine actors, directors and designers at the Indiana Repertory Theatre.
The Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, the Indianapolis-Marion

Ted’s Montana Grill restaurants offer a delicious bison burger and other tasty offerings in classic, comfortable settings.
“What happens next?” is a fundamental element of the theater. It’s a question that, if planted properly in the heads of audience members, keeps them enthusiastically coming back after intermission.
