3 Indy spoken word nights you need to see

Indianapolis is on the verge of a poetic explosion, teetering on the monolith of achievement, near to receiving the recognition and accolades it deserves for housing so much wordplay talent. Spoken word is certainly not new to the area, but for many in Naptown there are several tight-knit spoken word forces in motion that are driving the poetry scene.

Beatles scholar picks the Crossroads of America as homebase

Indiana State Fair Archives/State Fair Commission 51 years after the Beatles played the Indianapolis State Fair on September 3rd, 1964 and 46 years after the Beatles were photographed crossing Abbey Road in Northwest London, America's self-proclaimed first and only full-time Beatles scholar, Aaron Krerowicz, has returned to live right here in Indiana, our very own Crossroads of America.

James and the Drifters talk life, love, lineups

I am ecstatic to report romance is alive and well in 2015. And not just the dewy-eyed teen dreams of first love, either. All of the sticky aspects of passion are covered on Get the Spirit, the new James and the Drifters' EP: hometowns and illusions, innocence and obstacles, friendships and betrayal, and all of the messy in-between dealings that make us human.

The 'Merica art campaign is throwing apathy in your face

When artist CS Stanley, born and raised in Greenwood, tells me that "everybody is running behind on sleep" I know he's specifically referencing those I've just met at the First Church of Cannabis. But it's 2015 - and I happen to think everyone, just about everywhere, is probably running behind on proper rest - especially artists.

Musician Marshall Lewis and Kevin Flick talk 'Learned'

I loved reading Marshall Lewis' bio on his website, fluid words forming sentences I had to think long and hard about - much like his lyrics. Music, writes Marshall, "made me feel like I was building myself again." Wise words for someone so young, and hopefully, with much more building in front of him.

Interview with former Indy Star writer Abe Aamidor

" ... is the life you've been living really normal ... ?" I fell in love with the above quote as well as the book's tagline: So, you always wanted to be a writer. You might want to reconsider. So mysterious, slightly ominous.

Two Shakespeare productions catching our eye

Oh, heavy is the potent perfume of this Indianapolis autumn: sharp scents of betrayal! Musky balms of duplicity! Pugnacious whiffs of violence and brutality! All drifting on the same breeze with the bouquet of sweet success. Success for directors Casey Ross and Thomas Cardwell, that is in two long lost roles in Indy theater.

Review: Water by the Spoonful at Indy Fringe

5 stars Quiara Alegría Hudes' 2012 Pulitzer-winning play won that major award for a reason: it's breathtakingly brilliant. Many reviews note the play concerns an Iraqi war veteran coming to terms with his soul-shattering time in service - and the play is about that BUT it's about so much more.

Remembering two names and 11 million deaths through ballet

Several people tell me the upcoming Dance Kaleidoscope show, Remembrances, is choreographer Brian Honigbaum's life's work - and they tell me this well before Brian does. "I'm 40 years old now," says Honigbaum. "This is the dream I've had since I was 13. So, this really is my life's work."

Banned Books Week: The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library Takes a Prisoner

Some Art Will Live, Some Art Will Die

That's one of the first things Primary Colours President and organizer Brian Short said to me: some art will die. My gut was immediately and specifically reminded of the tag line for a cult, highly inappropriate 1986 exploitation film of B origins when I heard this line.

ForeverAtLast features new album at the Hoosier Dome

Lead singer Brittany Paris, a.k.a. B., is a tattoo artist by day, rock star by night. I can relate. Students also call me B., a.k.a. Dr. B., and I am a professor by day, music journalist by night. Which is not even close, come to think of it, and Brittany is much cooler.

For parents who are concerned for their child's continuous academic struggles and are giving consideration to requesting their child be evaluated for special education services, it is imperative to start the process before mid-February. According to educational codes and regulation in many states there is a timeline that must be followed; a number of days allotted for the different steps of the evaluation process.
