Horan is the Phoenix Theatre's playwright-in-residence and this is the world premiere of The Pill. The show is performed by an all-female quintet of characters, including the infamous Margaret Sanger.

BWW Review: THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD Provides a Chance to Choose Your Own Ending!
by Melissa Hall - May 02, 2018
What do you do when an author dies before his work is finished? You make it into a 'choose your own adventure' musical of course! Audience goers get the rare experience of choosing not only the murderer, but also which lovers end up together and who plays the detective in the Actors Theatre of Indiana's production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Charles Dickens never had the chance to let readers know how he would've wrapped up the novel, but now we can all try our hand at solving the mystery.
BWW Review: NOISES OFF at Indiana Repertory Theatre
by Melissa Hall - May 01, 2018
Indiana Repertory Theater closes its season with the slamming of the door, or rather many slamming doors, in Noises Off. I'll admit that farces don't tend to tickle my funny bone, but this one is an exception to the rule. It rises above the general stereotype of mistaken identities and slapstick (though there is plenty of both) by adding another brilliant layer. It is a play within a play, three acts and two intermissions packed with nonstop humor.

BWW Review: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN a Delightful Downpour at Beef And Boards
by The Marriage Matinee - April 17, 2018
If you enjoy the old Hollywood, the one full of glamour and beautiful people and genuinely great dancing, then SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is all of that-plus a healthy dose of humor! SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is a musical theater classic and therefore a mite intimidating to take on because expectations will be so high. But at Beef & Boards, they do not shy away from that challenge and instead meet it head on.

Phoenix Theatre To Open The New Cultural Centre
by BWW News Desk - April 02, 2018
Three years of planning, two years of campaigning, ten months of construction, and it all comes down to this: twenty-six days until Phoenix Theatre takes possession of their amazing new Cultural Centre on the Glick Peace Walk section of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. After closing the "Old Church" with a sell-out run of Fairfield by Eric Coble, Phoenix is ready to say goodbye in style as they transition to their exciting new building.

BWW Review: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE Thrills at Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre
by Melissa Hall - March 29, 2018
When the play you're about to see is a murder mystery called "And Then There Were None", you know there will be a body count. The deliciously dark Agatha Christie novel comes to life on the stage in the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre's current production. Unlike most of its shows, this one is held in the smaller, more intimate Studio Theater, a great fit for the chilly drama.
