September theater lineup in Central Indiana could boost box office and student showcases

Tom Alvarez, in his latest "On the Aisle" segment, flagged multiple productions opening in September across central Indiana. Scheduled offerings include a 1970s-themed musical at Actors Theatre of Indiana (Sept. 4–20), the Phoenix Theatre world premiere running Sept. 3–20, a Johnny Cash tribute at Beef & Boards running through Oct. 4, a two-person drama at The District (Sept. 11–13) and a one-night mentalism-comedy at The Palladium (Sept. 10).

The Phoenix premiere is by playwright James Stills and centers on Jeanne Manford, identified in the piece as the founder of PFLAG; the District production is described as examining relationships, love and climate anxiety. A Butler University student production titled Cabaret Latino is set for Oct. 3 and is said to draw on music and dance traditions from across the Americas; WISH-TV is listed as a media sponsor. Alvarez is noted as having covered the local performing arts beat for nearly four decades and publishes reviews and a podcast at tomalvarez.studio, according to the article.
