BWW Review: ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S at the Indiana Repertory Theatre Provides a Great Intro to Theatre
by Melissa Hall - February 25, 2019
Lovers of theatre can usually remember their first introductions to the stage. Whether it's a school performance or a professional one, those earliest shows leave an impression. The Indiana Repertory Theatre's current offering, Elephant & Piggie's 'We Are in a Play!', is a delightful way to make theatre accessible for kids as young as 3. The show begins with listening rules for kids, who are on the floor in storytime seating. The relaxed style takes away the intimidation that some people can associate with professional theatre.

Amy Touchette Will Hold Reception For 'The Young Series'
by BWW News Desk - February 16, 2019
Throughout her career, Brooklyn-based photographic artist Amy Touchette has explored connections between humanity. A documentarian and a street photographer, she creates photographs of people within their social groups and communities. Utilizing the power of photography in "The Young Series," Touchette discovers what teen culture looks like in the three disparate island nations of Manhattan, Hawaii and Japan. "Although the world is globalized now, significant remnants of each island culture still exist," said Touchette. "I thought that because these three locations had strong and distinct personalities, it would create a more heightened and interesting visual experience."

BWW Review: SCHOOL OF ROCK Heats Things Up for Broadway Across America
by Melissa Hall - January 30, 2019
It was freezing outside, but School of Rock was heating up Clowes Memorial Hall last night. The Broadway Across America production is based on the 2003 movie of the same name. The musical stays close to that version, but comes alive in a different way. The plot focuses on Dewey, who is a bit of an immature loser. He thinks his band will make it big any day now, but doesn't really have a backup plan. When he finds himself substitute teaching a group of precocious kids he's surprised to find a new passion. The show doesn't really get moving until he meets the kids and discovers they love music as well.

Real life isn't easily split into two categories, comedy and drama. It's a mixture of joy and grief, often at the same time. Every Brilliant Thing captures that perfectly. The one-man show tells the story of an unnamed man whose mother tried to commit suicide multiple times. In an effort to show her all the things she has to live for, he begins a lifelong list of brilliant things when he's only 7 years old.
