Year of Vonnegut

For a little over a decade, Time For Three helped redefine the concert experience with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. As the Artists In Residence with the ISO, they created the Happy Hour concert series, melding classical music with hip hop, rock and pop and any other genre you can think of, bringing a party atmosphere to the Hilbert Circle Theatre, while firmly maintaining their classically trained roots. Now, Time For Three is returning to Indianapolis for the first time as Grammy winners, performing this weekend with the ISO. Time For Three is Nick Kendall and Charles Yang on violin and Ranaan Meyer on double bass. They spoke with WFYI’s Ray Steele.

Every time All Elite Wrestling (AEW) brings its larger-than-life show to Indiana, it’s a homecoming for the only Hoosier on their full-time roster. AEW is the company that just ran the biggest pro wrestling show in history, with more than 81,000 paid ticket holders at Wembley Stadium in London just over a week ago. Ruby Soho, a native of Lafayette, Indiana, is one of their biggest stars. She spoke to WFYI’s Ray Steele via Zoom ahead of AEW’s show at the Indiana Farmer’s Coliseum.

For the first time Indianapolis has a black equity theater company. The Naptown African American Theatre Collective was officially formed earlier this year. It's putting on its first full production this week at the Phoenix Theatre Cultural Center downtown.
