I swear I wasn’t looking for an Indiana connection when I set out to find out where Broadway show folk hang out — and perform — after the curtains come…
“Wicked” hasn’t yet opened at the Murat Theatre, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look ahead to what’s happening in the about-to-be-announced 2009/2010 Broadway in Indianapolis series — which contains four first-time-in-Indy musicals (and doesn’t really get rolling until December).

Stitcher bills itself as “a leading mobile audio company that provides a revolutionary media service which allows audio content to be easily aggregated, organized and shared on mobile devices.” It’s sort of like DVR for radio.
If you don’t get your fireworks fix on July 4, you’ll no longer have another chance this year to be awed by the colorful displays.
The Skyline Club has reserved one wall of its main dining room for local artists and will also host a series of artist receptions for its members and the general public.
Some industry insiders worry that, while Indianapolis is busy chasing bigger conventions, adjoining counties may raid the cupboard made plentiful by investments within Marion County, particularly downtown.

Efroymson will become…
Second in a series of dispatches from New York.
I’ve got mixed feelings about the, for now, temporary move to block traffic on Times Square and Duffy Square in midtown Manhattan. (Look for yourself here)
The experiment, which started this week, certainly gives the…
For the next few posts, I’ll be logging in from New York City, where I’m on a multi-tasking trip that includes a trio (at least) of Broadway shows to review. I also will be reporting from BookExpo America, the publishers/booksellers…
So, was this a weekend of celebrity spotting (see previous post)? Maybe you included The Ohio Players downtown concert in your race plans, or caught one of the bands harmonizing with the engine roars at the Speedway.
Perhaps you got out…
