Additionally, we have enough experience that we now can tell from our ticket sales which sorts of projects you want us to continue. All of this—our Mission and Vision Statements, our audience feedback, and our desire for innovation—drives the planning of each new season. of the many talented individuals representing the Vesper Chorale and the Children’s Choir and thanks the staff and board at Musical Arts Indiana for providing the community with such inspirational music.

Electra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, rescued her young twin brother, Orestes, from her mother by sending him to Strophius of Phocis. The play begins years later when Orestes has returned as a grown man with a plot for revenge, as well as to claim the throne. *This performance interpreted for the d/Deaf community M U S I C A N D B O O K BY ST E P H E N F L A H E RT Y, LY R I C S A N D B O O K BY LY N N A H R E N S , C O C O N C E I V E D BY ST E P H E N F L A H E RT Y A N D LY N N A H R E N S A N D E R I C I D L E , B A S E D O N T H E WO R K S O F D R .

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos. Horton faces a double challenge — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English vicarage are an American actor and actress, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old maid who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life,” four men in clergyman suits presenting the problem of which is which, and a sedate Bishop aghast at all these goings on and the trumped-up stories they tell him. This farce, creatively titled from the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice,” is an evening of nonstop laughs and witty humor. *This performance interpreted for the d/Deaf community *This performance interpreted for the d/Deaf community SEASON TICKETS available now! $45 adults, $40 seniors/students CALL 574.807.7080 M–F, 1–5 P.M.
