PARAMOUNT’S INTO THE WOODS, STAGED BY PARAMOUNT’S DUO OF JEFF AWARD-WINNING DIRECTORS JIM CORTI AND TRENT STORK, RUNS FEBRUARY 1-MARCH 19, 2023  || CAST UPDATE: PARAMOUNT HAS A NEW WITCH - NATALIE WEISS

*** Recommended *** Loss of a parent – and all the sibling angst and in-fighting that might cause – is fraught with drama in and of itself.  In Bald Sisters, Steppenwolf’s new dramedy, playwright Vichet Chum, explores that dynamic while focusing attention on the family’s background as immigrants from Cambodia.  3 Spotlights

5 Stars! Highly Recommended!  Juicy and flavorful, “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” is a treat! The acting is fantastic; the choreography is beautiful; the singing is excellent; and the music is fun and enlivening. The original Broadway musical came out in 1978, written by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson, with music and lyrics by Carol Hall. But this new production by the Theo Ubique company can boast of originality too: with both female and nonbinary characters playing the “working girls” and with lots of gender fluidity: men playing women’s roles, women playing men’s roles, etc., and doing so convincingly. Due to the marvelous trifecta of three talented women: director Landree Fleming, choreographer Jenna Schoppe, and music director Isabella Isherwood, this largely comedic show provides an enjoyable evening’s-worth of live theatre.

Tippecanoe County – Yesterday evening, troopers from the Lafayette Post conducted a saturation patrol searching for dangerous and impaired drivers. During the patrol, troopers issued 106 warnings, 28 citations, arrested one person for possession of methamphetamine, and arrested six people for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

The Indiana State Police Lowell Post wants to share some statistics from 2022 that are concerning to the safety of the motoring public and to our troopers working on our roadways. Troopers arrested 508 individuals for impaired driving in 2022.  That’s on par with 2021 which was 526.
