Megachurch under financial review

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

A Carmel-based megachurch that quietly quadrupled a retirement payout to its longtime senior pastor in 2022 is undergoing a formal compliance review by the Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability, an organization that provides accreditation for religious organizations that agree to adhere to a set of standards that promote responsible stewardship.

FAITH

Staci Brown, ECFA senior vice president of member accountability and relations, confirmed the review of Northview Church but declined to provide details about what led to the review or specific concerns, directing questions to the church. The review was still underway as of April 25 and has been ongoing since at least December 2023.

Northview officials postponed a meeting with Current to discuss financial matters and then declined to reschedule it, asking for questions to be submitted by email instead. The church posted Current’s questions and responses from church elders in its app in early February and sent the document to Current more than two weeks later.

In the answers posted on the app, Northview elders acknowledged the ECFA’s ongoing compliance review.

“If there are allegations of noncompliance, then the ECFA will conduct a compliance review. The allegations in this matter came from sources taking things out of context,” the document states. “The review was not instigated because ECFA saw something in the financial data that caused them concern and warranted an investigation. Everything requested in the review has been submitted to the ECFA as they are still conducting their review.”

According to ECFA’s website, a formal compliance review occurs “when there is a serious concern of noncompliance.” If ECFA staff determine noncompliance, its board may suspend or terminate the organization’s membership.

Brown said she does not know when the review will be complete, but that ECFA aims in all cases to “conduct the reviews as expeditiously as possible, while being as thorough as necessary.” The results will not be publicly released by ECFA.

Northview has been accredited by ECFA since 2017. ECFA records show that Northview reported cash donations of more than

$27 million in 2022 and total revenues of more than $30 million. It reported $26.9 million in expenses.

ECFA and Northview did not provide information about specific concerns being addressed through the review, but a quadrupled retirement benefit provided to a retiring senior pastor caught the attention of the church’s auditor. It is not clear if the retirement benefit is being evaluated as part of ECFA’s compliance review.

According to Northview’s audit report for 2021 and 2022, conducted by Indianapolis-based firm Capin Crouse, in September 2022 the church increased its retirement benefit for longtime Senior Pastor Steve Poe from $700,000 over five years to $2.8 million over seven years, which was noted in the “subsequent events” portion of the document. Poe, now the church’s legacy pastor, retired in October 2022 after working at the church for two decades.

After a second request for comment, Poe responded to an email from Current by questioning Current’s motivations for reporting the story.

“A story about what?” he stated. “I’m having a hard time understanding what your motivation is?”

In response to Current’s questions, Northview’s elders explained the retirement benefit increase, which they stated was instigated by Poe “while discussing necessary due diligence/comparisons.”

“In 2015 the board of elders used an outside firm to conduct a salary audit of various leadership roles within the church including the senior pastor. This resulted in the discovery that the senior pastor’s salary and benefits package were significantly lower than other pastors of churches of similar size and had been for 10 to 12 years. This was adjusted in 2015 for future compensation,” the document states. “As Northview began preparations for succession there were multiple conversations

regarding the retirement benefit of our senior pastor amongst the elders. In light of compensation lagging behind the rapid growth of our church the elders again consulted with outside sources to help determine the best step forward. The decision was made to adjust the amount to more accurately reflect a complete compensation package both past and present.”

The elders also stated that they handle all compensation-related decisions regarding the senior pastor, which they said is outlined in the church bylaws.

Northview did not respond to questions about Poe’s salary or the salaries of other members of the executive team. Although most nonprofits are required to publicly report the compensation of employees who make $150,000 or more and its five highest-paid employees who make $100,000 or more, churches are exempt from these reporting requirements.

As president of MinistryWatch, an organization that advocates for donors to religious groups, Warren Cole Smith said he has reviewed many retirement compensation packages and that Poe’s “is not normal.”

“Big churches often do pay big salaries, but this kind of compensation is absolutely an outlier,” he said. “My personal opinion is that I consider it outrageous. I would consider it to be doubly outrageous if the congregation did not know about it.”

Northview did not alert the congregation of the compensation package until after Current contacted church leaders.

The elders stated in their response to Current’s questions that “the only person(s) that would be able to assess if this amount was too large would be someone that was able to review all the data and facts surrounding comparable situations/ circumstances.”

“For this reason, the church used multiple sources in its review and consultation. Northview also relied on information from various experts in this field in making the decision,” the elders stated in response to Cole Smith’s comments.

Cole Smith said he believes all church members and donors should have access to church financial data, including salaries of senior leadership. Although Northview’s website states that it will provide its audit report to those who request it, the audit does not include information on individual compensation.

Northview operates 12 campuses across central Indiana.

Linemen qualify for competition

news@currentnoblesville.com

At Duke Energy’s recent Midwest Lineman’s Rodeo in Plainfield, 15 Duke Energy lineworkers secured spots to compete this fall at the International Lineman’s Rodeo.

RODEO

According to McKenzie Barbknecht, senior communications manager at Duke Energy, the competition was one of three regional lineman’s rodeos across Duke Energy’s service areas this spring.

“The rodeos are specialized contests that test job-related skills line technicians rely on daily to restore power day and night,” Barbknecht stated.

The categories included equipment repair, pole climbs and hurt-man rescues. Noblesville residents Collin Boschert, Matt Wallpe and Jason Washburn earned second place in the Journeyman Teams category.

“Our lineworkers are always prepared for any circumstance, but the extreme elements associated with storms, oppressive heat and bitterly cold temperatures can add challenges,” said Scott Batson, chief power grid officer at Duke Energy. “We are

able to keep the lights on for millions of customers who depend on us thanks to our line teams’ dedication to training, experience in the field, passion for their craft and supporting one another.”

Duke Energy Midwest regional rodeo winners will join other lineworkers from Duke Energy rodeos in Florida and the Carolinas to compete at the International Lineman’s Rodeo in Bonner Springs, Kan., Oct. 19.

Protospiel returns to Noblesville

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Protospiel, an event that provides tabletop game designers the opportunity to receive professional-level feedback, will be held at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville, from May 24 to May 26.

EVENT

Event organizer Carl Klutzke said its purpose is for people who design tabletop board and card games to playtest each other’s games and give each other critiques to help creators improve their games.

Klutzke originally began holding the event in Indianapolis after attending a similar event in Michigan.

“There was originally just one of these events, and I started going to them in 2006,” Klutzke said. “I talked to one of the people there and said a year is too long to go between these events. So, he started one in Milwaukee, somebody else started one in Chicago and then we started one here in the Indianapolis area in 2018.”

Creators can bring their board or card game prototype to be playtested by amateur and established game designers, play

testers and publishers.

“Sometimes, people get to talk with publishers and see if they’re interested in taking up their game,” Klutzke said. “It is an opportunity for that to happen as well. If nothing else, it is nice for the designers to talk to people who are professionals in the tabletop game industry as small as that industry is and learn from them and get feedback from them.”

The registration fee is $65 for creators for all three days and $15 for people to playtest for all three days. The event is from 8 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. May 24 and May 25 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 26.

Masonic Lodge to hold event

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville Masonic Lodge will hold a public open house May 18 at 295 S. 9th St., coinciding with the Indiana Peony Festival at Seminary Park, 350 S. 10th St.

OPEN HOUSE

“We were established in 1847 and have been an active organization here in the community since that time,” said Kyle Moser, master of the Noblesville Masonic Lodge. “With that history, we thought it would be a good idea to do a little open house. We have this really beautiful building that people go by all the time, and our sense is that nobody really knows what happens in here.”

Moser said the event will provide visitors an opportunity to “explore the historic building and the heritage and traditions of Freemasonry.”

“We are thrilled to open our doors to the community, share the history of (the) historic building and answer questions about Masonry during this special event,” Moser said. “Our fraternity has a rich history spanning centuries, and we look

forward to welcoming guests and fostering a greater understanding of our traditions and values.”

Guests can take guided tours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. led by lodge members, who will discuss the symbolism and significance behind its rituals and artifacts.

“We want to open the doors, give people a chance to see the building and explain our symbols and belief system of how to make good men better,” Moser said.

The Noblesville Masonic Lodge’s open house is a family-friendly event open to all ages. Admission is free and hot dogs and bottled water will be available at no cost. For more, visit noblesville57.com.

To celebrate Arbor Day, SMC Corp. of America joined Mayor Chris Jensen and Noblesville Tree Board members April 26 to plant trees at Same As U, 19201 Promise Rd. According to Robert Herrington, press secretary for the City of Noblesville, Same As U is one of the inaugural Noblesville Tree Planning Grant recipients.

Jensen also gave his annual Arbor Day Proclamation, as the city has been named a Tree City USA recipient by the Arbor Day Foundation for 34 consecutive years.

Herrington stated the city and SMC have “forged a strong partnership, harnessing the power of the community to drive economic growth, workforce development and attraction strategies.”

“This winter, we extended this collaboration to environmentalism, announcing plans for a tree-planting grant program to coincide with Earth Day and Arbor Day,” Herrington stated. “The tree-planting grant program is led by the Tree Board.”

Jenson stated Arbor Day is “a time to celebrate the invaluable contributions trees make to our community.”

“I extend my gratitude to SMC Corp. of America and the Tree Board for creating this new avenue for collaboration, which will undoubtedly benefit our community and the sustainability of our natural resources for generations to come,” Jensen stated.

Shamrocks senior pitcher’s confidence keeps growing

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Westfield High School senior pitcher Ty Anderson’s confidence has continued to build throughout this career.

“I feel like I can get any batter out,” he said.

In his first five appearances this season, Anderson had a 3-2 record with a 1.64 earned run average for the Shamrocks baseball team. As a junior, he had a 5-1 record with a 1.12 ERA and was 2-2 with a 1.24 ERA as a sophomore.

“Ty’s strengths on the mound are the movement on his fastball and his slider is a tight, late-breaking pitch,” WHS coach Ryan Bunnell said. “He pairs those two pitches with a solid changeup to put together a way to attack every hitter.”

Bunnell said Anderson isn’t a high-velocity pitcher, usually throwing 84 to 86 mph, with a maximum of 87 to 88 mph.

“So, the movement on his pitches and his ability to execute the placement of

pitches is fundamental to his success and his ability to pitch at the next level,” Bunnell said. “Ty is also a high-level strike thrower. He had multiple complete games last year on pitch counts in the 70s. I think the development of his changeup and the confidence he has to throw it, has been important for him, especially against left-handed hitters. He has always had confidence and competitiveness on the mound, along with the movement of his fastball and a tight slider.

“But without high velocity, the ability to execute multiple pitches for strikes is a must and developing the third pitch was important.”

Anderson, who has signed a National

Letter of Intent to play for Eastern Illinois University next season, said his changeup is a work in progress.

“But it has been much more effective for me this year than it has been in past years,” Anderson said. “My velocity has slightly increased from last year to this year, but that’s not what brings me success.”

Anderson started playing recreational league baseball in Westfield when he was 5 years old and began playing travel baseball three years later.

“I never had intended to become a pitcher only, but as I got older and threw harder, it became something that I grew passionate about,” he said. “I played basketball and football when I was younger, but once I got to middle school, I decided I wanted to focus on baseball because that was the sport I loved.”

Anderson, who played with the Indiana Bulls during the summer, committed to Eastern Illinois in October 2023.

“I chose Eastern Illinois because Coach (Jason) Anderson has confidence in my ability and believes I can be an asset to the team,” he said.

New Noblesville practice expands outreach during Mental Health Awareness Month

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and a longtime Noblesville resident wants to ensure the community has all the resources it needs with her downtown practice.

Jami Cecil, a former family nurse practitioner, recently left her full-time job to open her own private practice, Delta Mental Health Services, at 54 N. 9th St. in Noblesville. She began accepting patients in January.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Cecil is collaborating with Noblesville organizations like Compassionate Roots to raise awareness and community outreach for anyone struggling with mental health issues. The organizations plan to put together a team for the Indianapolis Walking for Dreams walk May 19 that supports children in the foster care system.

On a personal level, Cecil will begin accepting walk-in patients this month and is committing to sharing more about her own mental health struggles in her blog, which can be found on her website, deltamhs. com.

“I feel like the community is all in this together and fighting the same fight,” Cecil said. “I recently resigned from my full-time job to give everything to Delta because it’s going really well. There’s so much interest and so much need that I can’t accommodate it, which is a great problem to have.”

Cecil’s practice treats patients struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction and more. In March, Delta Mental Health Services was awarded a grant from the Hamilton County Council, which came from an award as part of the national opioid settlement that was reached two years ago with Indiana and 45 other states, that allowed Cecil to hire a patient navigator who assists in helping patients map their recovery goals.

“So much of the addiction and mental health world is about needing immediate help,” Cecil said. “People are not always able to wait for help. Knowing I will finally be able to offer walk-in hours is something I am happy about.”

Cecil, 42, was a nurse practitioner for 10 years at IU North hospital before she

got into the psychology field. She received her Family Nurse Practitioner certificate in 2019 from the University of Indianapolis and her Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certificate in 2022 from the University of Cincinnati.

“I was primarily treating the Medicaid population and working in an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab facility,” Cecil said. “I fell in love with what I was doing.”

After Cecil helped patients through 30 days of rehab, she said she realized they were going back into an environment where they had little access to resources and support.

“They were going back to their home life, which is usually a world of mental health and addiction triggers,” Cecil said. “There is no one that really offers follow-up (care) for this population and addresses the psychiatric mental side of things, as well as provides medications for opioid stimulation.”

Cecil said she started her practice to fill that gap.

“I have lived in Noblesville for years, so I started talking to people in the area,” Cecil said. “I talked to friends, the fire department and other local therapists and asked how I could bridge the gap I was seeing. That was in November of last year, and I

have seen beautiful organic growth.”

Cecil said her passion for helping others stems from her own struggle with mental health.

“I struggled with an eating disorder and alcohol abuse for many, many years,” Cecil said. “The whole time, I had a family and a job, and finally, my life crashed and burned. I got into residential treatment, and it was the hardest thing I have ever done but the best thing I’ve ever done because it changed my life. I have fully recovered

from my eating disorder and have been sober since my treatment. I have data from both sides of the desk, which gives me great empathy for everything my patients are going through.”

Cecil said she combines her professional and personal experiences to help her patients. She said she has hope for all of her patients because she used to think recovery was impossible, but when working with a therapist who had also struggled with mental health issues, she found a new motivation.

“I saw a spark of life in my therapist that I wanted to feel,” Cecil said. “That spark grew in me and became my own. With Delta, everything has come full circle, and I am able to share my story and expertise with the community.”

Riverview offers gym, therapy

By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com

Riverview Health Rehab & Fitness is extending its hours at its Noblesville location this month to provide more time for therapy and fitness.

HEALTH

The center, at 601 Westfield Rd. in Noblesville, serves as a public gym and a place for people needing physical, occupational or speech therapy.

“What sets us apart from other fitness centers is the ability for our trainers to work with our therapists after members have completed required therapy,” said Chad Robertson, director of sports medicine and fitness.

Robertson said one of the center’s most popular amenities is its pool, heated to 92 degrees and used for aquatic therapy.

“People have told us they wouldn’t be able to do their daily activities if it weren’t for the aquatic therapy they do here,” Robertson said. “It is good on their joints, and many return once they’ve completed their required therapy to continue water exercises.”

Noblesville resident Maggie Potrikus said she has attended classes at the Noblesville news@currentnoblesville.com

and Carmel locations for 10 years.

“The warm water is so comforting for the joints,” Potrikus said. “The instructors teach water aerobics and gentle, mindful movement. To me, it’s the best-kept secret in town.”

The center offers several memberships, including gym-only and class-only, and a membership that includes access to the gym and one-on-one fitness services with certified fitness staff.

The Noblesville location is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but hours will be extended to 7 p.m. at the end of the month.

Grant to help businesses

FUNDING

The City of Noblesville recently launched the Hard Hat Resiliency Grant to support downtown businesses impacted by INDOT’s Reconstructing State Road 32 project to replace pavement between 6th and 16th streets.

“As we move into the second phase of this important infrastructure project, the city is stepping up to support downtown businesses facing disruption due to detours and construction,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen stated. “This grant is one way we can ensure the vibrancy of our downtown district remains strong.”

According to Lexie Rock, Noblesville’s communications relations manager, the Downtown District Committee approved the grant opportunity at its April 26 meeting, using appropriated funds dedicated to supporting Noblesville’s “authentic and unmatched downtown.”

“The construction will certainly pose challenges for our downtown merchants,” stated Aaron Smith, who chairs the Down-

town District Committee and represents downtown Noblesville on the common council. “However, we saw an opportunity with these grants to creatively give downtown businesses support while the construction work is underway.”

Rock stated the program was created with support from Noblesville Main Street and the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce, who “have advocated on behalf of impacted businesses.”

“It’s our hope that the Hard Hat Resiliency Grant will provide timely funding to help offset costs businesses on and around the square experience due to the road construction,” Noblesville Main Street and Chamber stated in a news release.

Downtown businesses impacted by the construction project are eligible to apply, and Rock stated that businesses are “encouraged to provide a brief description of how funds would be utilized.”

A total of $35,500 will be awarded, with three grants of $1,000, 10 grants of $750 and 50 grants of $500 available.

Time is not on my side

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie

My computer can calculate how long it takes me to write each of my columns. It adds the time I took to write the first draft and then revise it.

HUMOR

For my last column, the computer program said I worked about three hours, but the computer did not count the time I rolled around in bed banging my cranium against the headboard trying to think of an idea or the three hours last week that I spent riding on my stationary bicycle trying to think of a clever ending.

Nor did the computer consider the two hours I spent lost in Franklin when I missed my exit trying to think of a cute title.

When I counted all this time up and divided it by my compensation, I was better off working at a fast-food joint, especially when they raise employee pay to 20 bucks an hour.

My wife asked me to clean up the garage the other day. When I was through, she said, “You’re done? In only an hour? You couldn’t have done a very thorough job.”

“When I counted all this time up and divided it by my compensation, I was better off working at a fastfood joint, especially when they raise employee pay to 20 bucks an hour.”

– DICK WOLFSIE

How insulting. I’d been thinking about cleaning that garage for more than a year. I got no credit for that. I also spent a fair amount of time planning how I would attack the mess. Should I move everything out of the garage, or just pile things up in the corner and then move stuff around? All that time should be counted.

Before cleaning the garage, I went to three stores to find my favorite beer. Then an endless wait while the cans and the glass got frosty in the fridge. Did I get credit for all that time? I did not.

I explained this all to my family and it

backfired. The other night my son, Brett, came over for dinner. I asked him to read a short story I was working on. He does a little writing himself and I wanted his opinion.

“Hey, Dad. I’m done. Let’s have dinner.”

“Done already? I worked so hard on that. You took only five minutes to read it.”

“Dad, it may seem like five minutes, but did you consider my grade-school years when I spent hours and hours learning the alphabet? You may recall the summer of ‘95 when we drove around Indianapolis and you made me look for misspelled words on store signs. Or our trip to Hawaii, when I was 11 and I wasn’t allowed to have dessert until I found the misplaced apostrophe on the menu. Or the time you’ve spent drumming into my head that even when we have a conversation, I need a topic sentence. Dad, not counting all that time is not fair to me and the work I did to read that story.”

“Brett!”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Let’s have dinner.”

Help Stamp Out Hunger May 11

May 11 marks the 32nd anniversary of one of America’s great days of giving: the National Association Of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many: hunger.

So, each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from our customers. Here in Indiana, these donations go directly to over 50 different local food pantries to provide food to people who need our help.

Central Indiana food pantries that the National Associate of Letter Carriers Branch #888 provides for include: Open Doors Food Pantry (Carmel), Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank (Noblesville), Delaware Township Trustees (Fishers), Open Doors Food Pantry (Westfield) and Zionsville Presbyterian Church (Zionsville).

From this one day of collection Branch No. 888 has averaged over 90,000 pounds

of food delivered to these pantries. This year, our goal is over 100,000 pounds of food collected. Over the course of its 30year history, the drive has collected well over 1.82 billion pounds of food, thanks to a postal service universal delivery network that spans the nation.

Our food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.

Participating in this year’s Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is simple. Just leave a nonperishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox on May 11 and your letter carrier will do the rest. With your help, letter carriers and the US Postal Service will make the 32nd year in America’s great day of giving its best one yet.

Average White Band will serve as Palladium headliner for Carmel Jazz Fest

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

The second Carmel Jazz Festival lineup is starting to take shape.

MUSIC

Blair Clark, founder and artistic director, announced Average White Band will be the Aug. 10 headliner at the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. As previously announced, Antonia Bennett, daughter of the late Tony Bennett, will be the Aug. 9 headliner at the Palladium in the two-day festival. She will be joined by the Carmel Symphony Orchestra.

Average White Band, a Scottish funk and R&B band, includes founding membes Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre. The band, which was formed in 1972, is known for hits such as “Pick Up the Pieces,” “Cut the Cake, “Queen of My Soul,” “Walk On By” and “Schoolboy Crush.”

“I was able to communicate with an agent I had in the past when I lived in California and got a recommendation for the Average White Band,” Clark said. “We’re really excited about them coming and excited about the collaboration with the Palladium as always.”

“Dave Bennett is coming back by popular demand,” Clark said. “He’s a phenomenal artist.”

Clark said the same is true of Cunningham, who also returns as a performer.

“We brought back acts that people really loved last year and we’re looking forward to them coming as well as our new artists,” Clark said.

In The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts, saxophonist Danny Lerman will be the headliner Aug. 9. The Tarkington headliner for Aug. 10 will be announced later.

“What I love is we have a mixture of jazz, blues and R&B and jazz sounds,” Clark said.

“With Antonia Bennett and Carmel

Symphony, we have that element. With the Average White Band, you have an R&B funk kind of feel. Tim Cunningham is very jazz funk and Dave Bennett is very traditional jazz with a kick. We want to make sure we give our audience a great blend of blues, jazz and R&B. It’s staying in that jazz world but we’re mixing it up so people are entertained and have a great time.”

One difference this year is the outdoor concerts on Carter Green will be free

to the public. There will be a section at Carter Green for VIP ticket holders. There will be drink tickets and food vouchers with the VIP tickets, Clark said.

Clark said there will be separate acts at Feinstein’s cabaret at Hotel Carmichael during the Carmel Jazz Festival. Those will be announced later with separate ticketed events.

The event is 5 to 10:30 p.m. each day. For more information and tickets, visit carmeljazzfest.org.

DISPATCH

Carmel resident receives New Works prize — A proposal from a former dean of the Herron School of Art and Design has won the first visual arts prize awarded through the Center for the Performing Arts’ annual New Works commission program. Carmel resident Valerie Eickmeier will receive $2,500 to support the creation of a triptych of oil paintings, each 24-by-36 inches, titled “The Wind Makes the Sea Dance,’ inspired by the three movements of Claude Debussy’s 1905 Impressionist composition “La mer.” “When I’m painting, I listen to it over and over,” she said. A St. Louis native, Eickmeier received her MFA from Washington University and moved to central Indiana in 1982 to teach at Herron, where she was dean from 1998 to 2018. She has lived in Carmel since 2001.

Civic Theatre offers variety

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com

Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Michael Lasley knows selecting a season can be a challenging balance.

SCHEDULE

“You are trying to appeal to the broadest possible audience while putting together a set of titles that seem to make some sense together, and at the same time advancing the storytelling and educational goals of the institution,” Lasley said. “I think we achieved that with this season. There truly is something for everyone. It’s artistically challenging but also hits those notes of comfort and nostalgia.”

The 2024-25 season opens with “Kinky Boots” Oct. 4-19, followed by “White Christmas” Nov. 29 to Dec. 24. The 2025 portion of the season opens with “Pride & Prejudice” Feb. 7-22, followed by “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” March 14-29 and “Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” April 25 to May 10. The performances are at The Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, except for “The Curious Incident,” which will be at the Studio Theater.

“Kinky Boots” will be a Civic Theatre premiere.

“I believe it’s only been produced one other time locally,” Lasley said. “It’s an exciting title for us and provides another opportunity to present a story of diversity

CIVIC THEATRE PRESENTS ‘ANATASIA’ NIGHT

and acceptance — in this case with a very popular and critically acclaimed title. ‘Kinky Boots’ won both the Tony Award and the Olivier Award for Best Musical.”

“White Christmas” will also be a firsttime production for Civic.

“In fact, the stage version of the show has only been around for about 20 years, so it’s likely to be new for many people,” Lasley said. “But it features most of the music and story of the classic film, including the title song. This classic Christmas show with its ties to the Great American Songbook is a perfect fit for our patrons.”

In contrast, Civic’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is its 10th since 2000.

“It is incredibly popular and was the anchor of our holiday rotation until we recently switched to a holiday-themed title,” Lasley said. “The classic Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice collaboration has its roots in the earliest year of their partnership and is one of their most enduring shows. ‘Joseph’ represents in many ways what so many of our patrons look for in Civic productions — high energy, family friendly, technically exciting and just plain fun.”

“The Cat in the Hat” returns from Feb. 25 to March 6, 2025. Other 2025 shows include Junior Civic production of “Seussical Jr.” June 20-25, Young Artists Program’s “Revue!” June 23 and “Legally Blonde: The Musical” July 24-27.

DR. CHARLES CONRAD'S FAREWELL CONCERT AS MUSIC DIRECTOR

Pandemic-inspired concerts now a tradition at Holliday Park

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com

What started as an effort to present live music during the COVID-19 pandemic has grown into a summer tradition that aims to bring the community together at Holliday Park in Indianapolis.

MUSIC

The Rock the Ruins concert series will kick off its fourth season May 24, with 13 shows featuring a variety of sounds and styles scheduled through Sept. 20. The stage and viewing area are nestled between trees and the Ruins, which features a trio of sculptures made of Indiana limestone relocated from a New York City building facing demolition in the 1950s.

The partners at Forty5, which owns and operates several local performance venues, launched Rock the Ruins after COVID-19 restrictions halted most live events just months after they purchased The Vogue Theatre in Broad Ripple. They knew that nearby Holliday Park had hosted outdoor concerts in the past and could provide a unique setting to bring people together while still providing enough space for social distancing. It also allowed staff to keep working through the pandemic.

“That first year had spray-painted boxes, and you didn’t leave your box in the COVID days,” Forty5 CEO Jenny Boyts said. “It’s continued to evolve and this year is a really full calendar and full lineup. This wasn’t just a flash-in-the-pan idea, but there were people and citywide institutions who believed that parks are an asset.”

Forty5 works with Indy Parks & Recreation and the Holliday Park Foundation to coordinate Rock the Ruins.

Adam Barnes, executive director of the Holliday Park Foundation, said the nonprofit had previously organized a small summer concert series at the park in the past and felt it was ripe for expansion. The partnerships finally allowed that to occur, he said, leading to one of the most “laid back” concert experiences in town.

“It’s just a very relaxed atmosphere. It’s very family friendly,” Barnes said. “There’s some incredible venues around town, but I’ve never seen one that has as many families here. So, it’s friends, families, neighbors just enjoying being outside. Then the music starts and everybody comes together around that, but it really is a unique

atmosphere.”

Rock the Ruins aims to present a variety of musical genres throughout the season from artists with diverse voices.

“We’re trying to get better across gender lines and across sexuality lines and race and putting those kinds of artists on stage,” Boyts said.

Rock the Ruins has space for up to 2,500 attendees and guests are invited to bring their own chairs or reserve them onsite. For the first time, this year a space called “the pit” will be designated for those who would rather stand or move around during the performance, Boyts said. Food trucks will be available at all shows to provide refreshments.

The limited parking spaces at Holliday Park must be reserved and purchased in advance, but free offsite parking is available at The Orchard School or Congregation B’Nai Torah. Shuttle buses will transport guests from the offsite lots to the park.

Ticket prices vary by concert and various upgrades are available. Learn more and purchase tickets at RockTheRuins.com.
