Group files suit against zoning decision for Beaver Materials Elissa Maudlin elissa@youarecurrent.com A new lawsuit filed by several residents requests a judge to rule on the Noblesville Board of Zoning NEIGHBORHOOD Appeals’ decision to approve a sand and gravel extraction project near Cherry Tree Meadows. Beaver Materials’ proposal for a sand and gravel extraction site near the neighborhood was approved Oct. 5. The suit against the company was filed Nov. 1 in Hamilton County Circuit Court. Petitioners submitted several legal issues for judicial review stating the following: • The Board of Zoning Appeals made a decision that was inconsistent with and/or contrary to prior discussions and decisions on mining operations from Beaver Materials and/or Martin Marietta, another aggregate services company in Hamilton County. • The zoning board disregarded evidence of the project being harmful to petitioners, adjacent property owners and the public. • The zoning board disregarded evidence that the proposal would significantly impair the aesthetics of the property, the quality of life of the petitioners, the daily activity/businesses of the petitioners, property values and the water supply. • Sand and gravel materials exist in oth-

er places throughout Hamilton County and Indiana. • The real estate is designated as a “Preservation/Natural Area” and therefore is directly contrary to the city’s comprehensive plan. • There would be no unnecessary hardship for Beaver Materials beyond economic and financial hardship and/or inconvenience if the project had been rejected. • The zoning board made its decision without affording appropriate due pro-

cess to petitioners and remonstrators. Paganelli Law Group, which represents the residents, couldn’t give more information about the suit because of a policy not to discuss details of pending litigation. Jonathan Hughes, the city attorney who advises the Board of Zoning Appeals, said the city couldn’t comment on pending or threatened litigation when Current spoke with him Oct. 23. Beaver Materials stated they had no comment when contacted by Current.

cottages AND apartments

Elissa Maudlin elissa@youarecurrent.com At its Nov. 14 meeting, the Noblesville City Council approved two fiscal plan resolutions for annexation land proposals, established new rates for water supply companies and amended articles of the Unified Development Ordinance. What happened: The council unanimously approved a resolution establishing a fiscal plan for the annexation of an area southwest of the intersection of 166th Street and Olio Road. What it means: The property tax base for the city will increase by $121,300 initially as a result of the annexation, the fiscal plan stated. The city will provide certain services to the area, including police protection, fire protection, emergency medical services, street and road maintenance, trash collection and recycling.

What’s next: The fiscal plan was approved for the territory. Annexation of the territory will be voted on in two weeks at a future council meeting after a public hearing.

What happened: The city council unanimously approved an ordinance to amend sections of the Unified Development Ordinance. The sections relate to timelines, information requirements for filing a petition in the form of a checklist and clarifying additional language in engineering sections for subdivisions, commercial buildings and mixed-use developments.

Noblesville resident rides with Blue Angels flight team By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com A Noblesville resident and Zionsville Middle School teacher’s dream came true on Oct. 25. OPPORTUNITY On that day, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels 7, a demonstration team based in Pensacola, Fla., arrived in Indianapolis to take Brittany Moon, who teaches humanities at ZMS, on a once-in-a-lifetime flight in advance of last month’s Crossroads Air Show at the Indianapolis Regional Airport. Prior to each show, the Navy Blue Angels select a key influencer, someone who shapes attitudes and opinions of youth in their communities, to take on a flight. Moon was nominated by her family and peers as the key influencer for the ride. “I kept an eye out on social media, and once it was posted, several people nominated me, and I nominated myself,” Moon said. The Crossroads Air Show took place Oct. 28 and 29. The Blue Angles arrived a few days early to take Moon on the ride. Moon, a Noblesville resident who has taught at ZMS for 12 years, said the experience of flying in the plane was surreal and indescribable. “I don’t believe it happened,” Moon said. “I keep watching the videos over and over again because it was an adrenaline rush like none other.” A sixth-grade teacher who works at Target part-time, Moon said she has been around aviation since childhood. “My father was a pilot, and I grew up at the airport,” Moon said. “I have been around aircraft my entire life, and I wanted to be a pilot, but things changed, and I became a teacher, which I love.” Two years ago, Moon decided to pursue her pilot’s license. She started training in March 2021 and earned her private pilot’s license in April of this year. She said there are many ways she could continue as a pilot. “I am not taking it all the way; however, I am going to stay with my private pilot license and eventually earn my (Certified Flight Instructor) Light Sport license so I can teach others in a specialized aircraft,” Moon said. “Getting a private pilot’s license is not easy.” Compared to the flying that she has done in her 1946 Aeronca Champion aircraft, Moon said flying with the Navy Blue Angels in one

of their Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets was “insane.” “The slowest the F18 Hornet can go is the fastest I can go in my aircraft,” Moon said. “The jets are insane, and the flying capabilities they can handle through the maneuvers are incredible. Mine, which has to be hand-started by someone outside of the aircraft and does not have an electrical system, cannot handle anywhere near any of that.” Besides teaching, Moon helps coordinate the Young Eagles program for the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter. In the role, she prepares Ray Aviation Scholarship pilots for their check rides and assists Scouts in earning their Aviation Merit Badge. Moon said the Young Eagles program offers free aviation flights to kids ages 8-17. The EAA also has a scholarship program. “For the scholarship, we select a teenager to earn their private pilot’s license,” Moon said. Besides her work with the EAA and as a teacher, Moon also runs an aviation history club at ZMS. “I am hoping next year to expand the aviation club to Zionsville High School,” Moon said. “I would also like to get an aviation program going at ZHS that brings more awareness to the careers that aviation provides. Not just being a pilot, but the important ground support such as maintenance crews, dispatchers and air traffic controllers.” Moon said that one of the most rewarding parts of her career is telling kids that she is a pilot and that hard work pays off. “(Kids) think that all pilots are the ones that fly commercially, not the ones that are everyday people like teachers, nurses and engineers,” Moon said. “Anyone can be a pilot, not just the person that flies people to their vacations.”

A new gym, Sweaty Butt Fitness, recently opened in Noblesville. Owner Denise Mirro wants to bring a feeling of HEALTH community through fitness classes. Sweaty Butt Fitness opened Aug. 1 at 14300 Mundy Dr. It offers classes in weightlifting, cardio, dance and yoga. “You name it, we got it,” Mirro said. “So, you don’t have to join six gyms. We got everything under one roof.” Each class is 30 minutes. The workouts are Tabata workouts, a blend of intense bursts for several seconds followed by a short break. Mirro said the exercise makes people work harder and burn more calories

in a shorter amount of time. “I (am) a mom, a busy mom, and don’t have time to stay in the gym all day,” Mirro said. “That’s what the majority of our people are today. Husband and wife both have to work today, they’re juggling a house, kids, dogs, family members, you name it.” The workout room at the gym has blue lighting, Mirro said, which helps people working out not feel insecure about what they look like while exercising. “Once they come in here, I find (that) they’re addicted,” Mirro said. “They love the community feel, they love the lighting in (the fitness room) because once my lighting goes down, the brain clicks, and you don’t feel like you’re (in) a spotlight.” For more about classes and pricing, visit sweatybutts.com.

Couple wants to help guide young people’s careers By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Westfield residents Jennifer and Cole McCulloch saw a need to assist young people who might need help deterPROGRAM mining the best direction for them following high school. “We are parents of three teenaged and young adult men, and we noticed that a lot of their friends, as well as their classmates, have struggled to understand, ‘What do I want to do after high school and what path takes me to that goal?’” Jennifer said. “So, goal setting and figuring out a path toward a successful career that may or may not include college is a challenge for a lot of kids. We (think) we’ve run a successful business. Our kids have faced these challenges as well. We think that we can be a help to the community and young people.” Jennifer and Cole, a disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran, are starting Champion’s Path in Westfield. Cole is the owner and Jennifer is the director of operations. The program is dedicated to helping high school students and young adults find a career in the trades, U.S. military or as an entrepreneur. The program’s classes can be completed online or in person at Student Impact of Westfield. Classes are scheduled to begin Jan. 2, 2024. All the courses are led exclusively by successful business owners who have also served in the U.S. Marines, U.S. Special Forces and other high-ranking positions in the U.S. military. “We’ve talked to other business owners who were struggling to find employees,” Jennifer said. “We said, ‘You are struggling to find employees and young adults are struggling to find jobs. Why don’t we find a way to work together to bring you possible employees and young adults who are ready to do an internship, or maybe want to start a business, to go into the trades or into the military? Or maybe they go to college, but they’ve been through a preparatory program that has you looking internally at what you want to do, the skills you might have and let’s figure out a way to put them to good use.” The five-week program is held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with each student attending only one of the days each week. The classes are 2 to 2 1/2 hours per night. The target ages are 16 to 24. Student Impact of Westfield Executive

Director Danyele Easterhaus is convinced the program is a good fit. “Teens and young adults have muddled through the last few years without a sense of direction like never before,” Easterhaus said. “Everything they knew in school, at home, and in the community was changing and fluid. Consistency is a key factor in helping students to reach their goals in all areas of life. Champion’s Path has a relationship-based approach that fosters individuals in group settings, paired with successful business-minded people in the community. The collaboration of CP with the workforce takes a step forward for these students that they don’t have to do alone. They have partners who can assist them with their desires, direction and questions to make their own best path forward for their career choices.” Easterhaus said Champion’s Path is a natural continuation for many of the students at Student Impact. “The impact of allowing students to have a framework in place to assist them with making lifelong career decisions is key to making them successful adults who contribute well to the community with love and acceptance,” Easterhaus said. Jennifer said the program is designed to get young people to think about careers. “Then we introduce them to possible employers or schools or where they want to go,” Jennifer said. The first course is the Compass Course, where young adults have to present a PowerPoint presentation to the course and parents to show their path. For more, visit championspath.net.

Senior was a kicking/punting threat for Eagles By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Trevor Henkle started playing soccer before football for a good reason. Henkle lived in England for two years from age 7 to 9 because of his father’s job at Rolls-Royce. His family eventually moved back to Zionsville, where they had lived Henkle previously. “That made it easy to transition to kicking footballs,” Henkle said of soccer. “I started kicking in fourth grade, and I started playing middle school football in seventh grade. I played soccer through freshman year, (when) I was on the JV team. Sophomore year, I decided to put all my energy into football. I’ve always known since fourth grade that football was my passion, but I wanted to keep up with soccer because it was fun.” The Zionsville Community High School senior had two successful seasons as a kicker and punter for the Eagles.

MEET TREVOR HENKLE

Favorite athlete: Justin Tucker Favorite movie: “The Sandlot” Favorite subject: Math College major plans: Finance Henkle led all Class 6A schools with a 43.5 yards per-punt average, nearly 3 yards more than the next 6A punter. He was third overall in average in Indiana. A total of 41 percent of his punts were inside the 20yard line. Henkle averaged 58.2 kickoff yards per game, with 74 percent of deep kickoffs being touchbacks. He was 27 for 27 on extra-point attempts as a senior and 21 of 22 on PATs as a junior. He made 18 of 25 field

goals in the two seasons, including a long of 37 yards. “In both phases, he had a great career

and contributed a lot to the team,” Eagles coach Scott Turnquist said. “We asked that he do a lot, not just kicking as far as he can, but directional kicking. He is a guy that is constantly working. He is the equivalent to a gym rat on the football field. He’s always out kicking on his own. He’s constantly trying to get better in a lot of different ways. We had confidence in him whenever we put him out there.” Several colleges are recruiting Henkle for kicking and punting. “It helps that I can do both kicking and punting because with limited travel roster size, they value having a specialist who can be a starter for one skill and be a backup for another,” he said. “I really enjoy both kicking and punting, but there’s nothing better than putting points on the board with kicking.” Henkle said his biggest improvement has been with his punting in the last year. He credits his private kicking coach, Mark Hagee, for helping with that aspect. Henkle has taken several visits to Big Ten, Mid-American Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference and Ivy League schools.

SPOTLIGHT ON HISTORY Notable people and events helped shape Noblesville’s evolution

By Elissa Maudlin elissa@youarecurrent.com

THE NOBLESVILLE CARNEGIE LIBRARY

As Hamilton County’s bicentennial approaches, Current asked county Historian David Heighway and Kurt Meyer, who specializes in historic homes, to give their insight into four of Noblesville’s most interesting figures and moments. What follows are brief histories of the people and events that helped shape Noblesville’s transformation from a tiny rural town to Indiana’s ninth-largest city with a population of nearly 73,000 people. Noblesville, platted in 1823, is the county seat. THE D.C. STEPHENSON TRIAL In the 1920s, Heighway said the Ku Klux Klan had a major presence in Indiana. Noblesville received national attention in 1924 when the group’s Indiana leader, D.C. Stevenson, was on trial for kidnapping, raping and killing a woman. Heighway said the city was steadily in the news, and people questioned whether a jury in Noblesville could be objective because Noblesville was known as a Klan community. A jury, however, found Stephenson guilty of second-degree murder. Meyer said the verdict didn’t change people’s racist attitudes overnight, but it was the beginning of a change in culture. “The general public and people who had been involved in that group were revolted by what was revealed in that trial, and it led to sort of a mass reevaluation of beliefs and attitudes,” Meyer said. “And that led people to step away from that organization.”

THE WILLIAM-CRAIG HOUSE

Meyer said. “We’re constantly forgetting where we were and not caring about the past. So, anywhere in downtown Noblesville that you see a parking lot, there was something really cool there, something that if you saw a picture of what was there, it would break your heart.” A member of the Noblesville Preservation Alliance bought the house and moved it across the street to preserve it. “I think you could say that (the moving of the William-Craig House) made a big difference to a lot of people,” Meyer said. “Look at downtown Noblesville, what a cool place. Well, it’s a cool place because of the preservationists who were ready to lay down in front of bulldozers.”

Located on Conner Street, the William-Craig House is a Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne-style home built in 1893, according to the Noblesville Preservation Alliance. In the 1980s, a church wanted to demolish the historic house to make a parking lot. Meyer said its preservation changed people’s attitudes about protecting historic architecture. Had the house not been preserved, Meyer wonders what would be left of the Historic Downtown Square. “I’m well-known for saying that Indiana, or that America, is an amnesiac culture,”

Norman Norrell was a gay, Jewish fashion designer in the ‘50s and ‘60s in New York City. His designs were worn by Jackie Kennedy, Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe, according to the Indiana Historical Bureau. But before he became a renowned fashion designer, he was born in Noblesville in 1900 and lived in the city until he was 7 years old. “Most people, when they come to me and ask about history and famous people and things like that, they’re expecting sports heroes or military or something like that,” Heighway said. “And I tell them, ‘Well, there’s

NORMAN NORRELL

this fashion designer, that’s our famous person,’ and it’s kind of a shock and some people are not terribly comfortable with it, but it’s an interesting thing.” Heighway said Norrell was unashamed of being from Noblesville when he became famous in the fashion industry. When a fashion writer asked how a sophisticated and talented artist could come from such a small town in Indiana, Norrell wrote to a local paper saying he loved Noblesville and had great memories of his childhood. Meyer said Norrell wasn’t someone who changed the course of history but made a huge impact in the fashion industry after he left Noblesville. “He’s more, I guess, significant as a local son, who went off and made good in the world,” Meyer said.

Heighway said literature and the arts have always been an important part of Noblesville’s culture. The creation of the Carnegie Library in the city was important because it was evidence of that culture, he said. In the 1850s, Heighway said Noblesville didn’t have a dedicated library building. Libraries operated out of storefronts. However, in 1911, Andrew Carnegie, an American industrialist and philanthropist, was donating money for cities to create Carnegie Libraries. The Noblesville librarian at the time was Lulu Miesse, and she spearheaded the effort to establish a Carnegie Library in the city. Construction of the library required the purchase of land. Miesse petitioned the city council to acquire the land but her request was ignored. “You didn’t really ignore Lulu Miesse, that was a bad idea,” Heighway said. “She was a very strong-minded woman.” Heighway said Miesse organized several women’s groups into one big group of approximately 300 women and held a meeting at the county courthouse to say she “wanted a library and wanted it now,” he said. By the end of that week, the city council voted to give Miesse some land for the Carnegie Library. The location of the Carnegie Library is the current City Hall building, Heighway said. There is a little corner brick labeled “1913” that is the shell of what the Carnegie Library was.

Making words count Commentary by Terry Anker In sitting through yet another four-hour Zoom meeting, we all become fans of the KISS principle — keep it simple, ESSAY stupid! The notion that overly complex systems are less efficient and effective than their simpler alternatives first appeared in the United States between the great wars to be ultimately brought to prominence by the Navy in the early 1960’s. Essentially, it advocated that a straightforward approach, in the absence of considerable evidence to the contrary, is always better than a convoluted one. Today, it covers any discussion or process whose complexity outweighs its productive value. If we recognize this as a good general truth, can we take it too far? Is there a danger of spending too few words to make a point just as there is risk with too many? Sure, uncomplicated engineering, as originally envisioned by the Navy, still had to work. The device or plan required sufficient detail so that it could manage to accomplish the task it was assigned to address. Is proper communication that

much different? Is the simple yes or no answer enough with any more words becoming a distraction? Or is the binary response overly simplistic and unable to fully address an interrogatory? No matter how many times someone says a single word, it doesn’t make a sentence, or sense. The “Guardians of the Galaxy” team member, a personified and charming tree, is only able to say, “I am Groot.” He is a clever comic book character but not a nuanced orator. Context and pantomime matter, but are they able to carry the full message by themselves? The first duty of communication falls to the communicator, and the second to the listener. So, as that communicator is finding the right words leading the charge and the right number of words following up right behind?

Let me ‘spa’ it out for you Commentary by Danielle Wilson What am I thankful for this holiday season? Spa’La Christina. It’s the name my husband gives to my sister’s HUMOR Architectural Digest-worthy house in Ohio because of the pampered experience I receive every time I stay with her. Normally, I visit for Thanksgiving, but this year, our mom decided to host and my highly anticipated annual trip to SLC was cancelled. To heck with that. I called the manager (on her personal line!) and reserved an early November overnight. Although it’s a three-hour drive, being at SLC was worth every gallon of gas and frustrating zipper merge (for the love of all that is holy, people, stop blocking the lane 2 miles out!). For starters, the proprietors have spent years remodeling and now have a circa-1920s abode that embraces its old-world charm with a nod to modern features and furnishings. The wood floors creak and the arched doorways are low, but the dimmer lights

and surround-sound classical piano tunes create a magical ambiance whether at the 11-foot marble kitchen island or in the seagrass-wallpapered den. Even better, the SLC manager/co-owner is the consummate host. She greeted me with freshly made pumpkin bread and a latté from her built-in coffee bar, while showing me to one of her daughter’s bedrooms, where she’d placed clean towels and a heavily laden snack tray. I was then escorted to the cozy living room where a puzzle, sparkling water and hummus invited me to enjoy the roaring fire. I partook in a posh steak dinner and then woke the next morning to more soothing background music and espressos. I felt rich. I felt cherished. I felt rejuvenated. Thank you, Spa’La Christina! Peace out.

Noblesville to debut nighttime holiday parade By Elissa Maudlin elissa@youarecurrent.com The City of Noblesville has announced that the new Holiday in Lights Parade is set for 6:30 p.m. Dec. 2. It replaces the original daytime holiday parade and the Home for the Holidays Tour that was created after the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendance and entry submissions for the original daytime holiday parade were decreasing prior to the pandemic, the city’s Community Engagement Manager Aaron Head said. During the pandemic, Mayor Chris Jensen created the Home for the Holidays Tour, an event residents could watch without leaving their homes. City Communications Director Robert Herrington said the mayor’s office wanted to create a new spin this year on the traditional parade. The parade starts at 16th and Harrison streets, travels south on 16th Street to Logan Street, continues through downtown and across the Bridge of Flowers before ending at Federal Hill Commons along Ind. 19. Head encourages attendees to explore the activities at Federal Hill Commons at the conclusion of the parade, including an ice-skating rink. He said shuttles will be available to transport people back to 16th and Harrison streets. There are also parking garages throughout the parade route, including one at Federal Hill Commons. Extra safety measures have been put in place for the parade. Walkers and dancers are required to wear reflective clothing or use glow sticks. There will be portable lights and additional lighting on 16th and Logan streets. All cars will have headlights on. “I’m excited to try a new spin on the traditional downtown parade,” Jensen stated. “With First Friday on Dec. 1 and activities taking place downtown on Dec. 2 leading up to the parade, it’s going to be a very festive weekend in Noblesville and a great way to kick off the holiday season.”

Actor gets dream role as Buddy in Civic Theatre’s production of ‘Elf’ By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Brett Edwards has long been a fan of “Elf.” “We hosted Thanksgiving and we had 20 to 30 people, and at the MUSICAL end of the day, for about 10 years, we would watch ‘Elf,’” Edwards said. “So, that was always our thing.” So, it seems fitting that the Broad Ripple resident is playing the lead role of Buddy in Civic Theatre’s presentation of “Elf,” which runs Dec. 1-24 at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Edwards performed in the ensemble of “Elf” in Altoona (Pa.) Community Theatre.

For Sarah Scharbrough, the holiday season becomes a juggling act. “December is by far and CONCERTS away our busiest time of year,” she said. “I have over 25 concerts and events booked. I’m so thankful for the work and it’s also crazy putting the puzzle together of live performing, often being on the road and prioritizing family commitments. ‘Tis the season.” Scharbrough, a Noblesville singer and pianist, will appear with Ryan Ahlwardt at 4:30 and 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Studio Theater at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. “The Dec. 3 (show) is special because it’s the first time we’ve done our big holiday show in an all-ages venue,” Scharbrough said. “In addition to having Ryan Ahlwardt, I’m really bringing all of the youthfulness because my five kids will make their debut performance together and the varsity show choir. The Noblesville Singers will also be making guest appearances.” Her husband, Jeff McLaughlin, the Westfield High School music teacher, plays drums/percussion. “Jeff is such an amazing musician and all-around human and brings so much talent and skill to every group with which he plays,” Scharbrough said. “My brother Stephen Scharbrough is my guitarist — we’ve literally been making music together our whole lives. My sister Suzanne Cogswell sings with us at holiday time every year. And, of course, Bethany Robinson is amazing on bass/vocals.” Robinson, the Noblesville High School jazz band program director, frequently performs with Scharbrough. “Collaboration is the name of the game for me,” Scharbrough said. “The only way to keep growing and learning is to constantly get outside of yourself, your ears, your confirmation bias on what’s working — this goes for music and everything else, in my opinion — and remain open to new sounds, vibes, thought patterns. Scharbrough and Ahlwardt will appear as special guests in vocalist Jon McLaughlin’s holiday show Dec. 8 at the Palladium. “Jon and I perform a lot together and I’m always impressed with his skill and stage presence,” Scharbrough said of her brother-

in-law. “He’s just a delightful artist to work with time and time again. I’m especially eager to work with the other artists on the roster.” Scharbrough and Ahlwardt will appear together Dec. 15-17 for seven shows at The Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis. Scharbrough said she sticks with a holiday theme. “We typically incorporate a few other originals or standards, but we like the nostalgia of the classics,” Scharbrough said. “I have two new Christmas singles I’m releasing this year, so there will definitely be some new holiday tunes in this year’s heavy rotation.” Ahlwardt, a Fishers resident and former member of Straight No Chaser, was introduced to Scharbrough’s music several years ago. “It felt like we’d known each other for years the first time we met,” Ahlwardt said. “I love Sarah’s voice, musicianship on the piano and accordion and sense of humor. There’s a fun sibling dynamic to our friendship, which always leads to a lot of laughter anytime we’re onstage together. We absolutely would’ve been friends in high school if we’d gone to the same school.” A Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate, Ahlwardt said this is favorite time of year to perform. “I love the nostalgia of the holiday season and the opportunity that live music creates to bring people together this time of year,” Ahlwardt said. “I love performing the title song of my holiday album ‘Indiana Christmas,’ which was written by my friend and the founder of Straight No Chaser, Dan Ponce. I also perform a medley of Leonard Cohen’s nonholiday, though spiritual, song ‘Hallelujah’ and my favorite Christmas song, “O Holy Night.”

NIGHT & DAY

Holiday concert returns to The Cat By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Ashley Nicole Soprano is full of holiday spirit once again. Soprano returns with her HolMUSIC iday & More concert at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 30 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at The Cat in Carmel. “This year’s performance will be different from last year’s in several ways,” the Fishers resident said. “Basically, the show is still a celebration of the holidays Soprano and all the traditions and joy that they represent. This year, however, instead of presenting three sets of different holiday songs and styles, we are introducing Ashton Wolf and his energy and style to the mix. Ashton will be performing with me on several songs as well as on his piano as a soloist. He will also be — spoiler alert—performing as the Grinch in both song and story. I will be performing some new selections as well as some from last year’s show.” Soprano said last year’s show had many unexpected and delightful moments. “The snowball toss during ‘Marshmallow World’ was magical as well as my many costume changes,” Soprano said. “Some of our favorite plans include not only Ashton and his contagious personality, but ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ audience participation, ‘The Grinch” and maybe even the infamous snowball toss. It’s going to be fun for sure with Ashton in the mix.” Soprano said she first met Wolf, a Geist-area resident, in 2015. “Along the way, Ashton has served as both mentor, friend and now colleague as we finally have an opportunity to work side-by-side in my now traditional Holiday & More concert,” she said. Soprano said the afternoon shows were designed and earmarked specifically for older fans who prefer afternoon to late night entertainment, especially this time of year. Soprano said her performances in the Indianapolis area are designed with a different theme and genre each month. Her songs include classical crossover, the Great American Songbook, ABBA, a Patsy Cline tribute and more. She also includes music from her first love -- opera. Her “Holiday” CD was released in 2022 during her Holiday & More concert. For more, visit thecat.biz.

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Kelly Keller was presented with a challenge. Main Street Productions COMEDY officials asked the Fishers resident to submit a Christmas show he wanted to direct. “They didn’t want something that was done over and over,” Keller said. “They were looking for something different. I found this and submitted it. It’s a farce but it’s got comedic elements to it as well.” Main Street Productions will present “Inspecting Carol” Nov. 30 to Dec. 10 at Basile Westfield Playhouse. “I had not seen it but read it and then watched it online,” Keller said. The play has been described as “A Christmas Carol” meets “The Government Inspector” meets “Noises Off” in the fanfare. Indianapolis resident Jeff Haber is acting at the Basile Westfield Playhouse for the third time. He was part of the 2022 Christmas anthology show directed by Keller. Haber, 28, plays Wayne, who is trying to look for an acting gig.

“Everyone thinks he’s an inspector (for the National Endowment for the Arts) and is going to be make or break for the theater whether they get their grant or not,” Haber said. “They are all trying to make him happy. It’s mistaken identity and it takes a while for everybody to realize what is going on.” Haber said every play he has done since starting in 2021 has been a comedy. “It’s just a lot easier to go for laughs than to get real heavy things going,” Haber said.”It’s lighthearted. It’s a fun part. I’ve worked with almost all the cast before and they are all incredible people.” For more, visit westfieldplayhouse.org.
