Upcoming Shows
THE GOLDEN GIRLS: THE LOST EPISODES, VOL 2
They’re baaaack!
“The Golden Girls: The Lost Episodes, Vol. 2” is an original parody of the beloved TV show. Volume 1 was the sold-out hit of our 2019 Parody Series. These gender-bending Girls find themselves in situations never before seen on television – that’s why they’re lost episodes! Written by David Cerda and originally performed by Hell In A Handbag Productions in Chicago, the show features all of the beloved sitcom characters, including the forthright Dorothy, the sweet airheaded Rose, the lusty Blanche and the sharp tongued Sophia.
In these “never before seen episodes,” they band together as the girls struggle with the senior dating scene in a Valentine-themed story, as well as a “very special” cross-over episode with “Murder She Wrote,” giving us the Jessica Fletcher/Dorothy Zbornak song-and-dance we never knew we needed.
The production also features “Guess That Girl!,” a Golden Girls trivia and games to help audiences fully embrace the Miami experience.

THE STARR-GENNETT STORY is in development to become a live-action stage play with music telling the story of the early years of the Starr Piano Company and Gennett Records. The play is being conceived and written by Indiana author Dr. Julie Lyn Barber and will incorporate information and inspiration from archives and anecdotes collected by members of the Starr-Gennett Foundation, Indiana Historical Society and Indiana Entertainment Foundation.
The development process of the play includes this evening where participants will see and hear readings and songs of the work-in-progress, and be encouraged to share critiques on the content as well as personal stories and anecdotes that might contribute to the further development of the piece. Two additional development workshops will be held in the coming months at the Indiana Historical Society and in Richmond, Indiana.

“Coming into this play, I was completely surprised by the history of IUPUI — how it all began. “I had no idea of the struggle and the price it actually cost to have this establishment that we have here today.” — Jay Fuqua, Actor “The Price of Progress”
