A chance of showers at Footlite Musicals’ “Singing in the Rain”
INDIANAPOLIS — Footlite Musicals presents “Singing in the Rain.” The show opens Friday and runs through March 17 at the Hedback Theater, 1847 Alabama St. Silent film star Don Lockwood barely tolerates his vapid co-star, Lina Lamont, who is convinced their on-screen romance is real. As the first talking pictures begin to appear in theaters, the studio head decides to convert the duo’s film into a talkie. The production is beset with difficulties, the worst being Lina’s comically grating voice. Don’s friend, Cosmo Brown, comes up with the idea to overdub Lina’s voice with the voice of Don’s love interest, aspiring actress Kathy Selden. Lina finds out and does everything possible to sabotage the romance. Visit footlite.org for show times and ticket prices.
Last weekend for “Almost, Maine” at the Mud Creek Barn
INDIANAPOLIS — Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town so far north, it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist — because its residents never got around to organizing. So, it’s just Almost. One cold winter night with the northern lights above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine, will never be the same. “Almost Maine” plays through March 2 at the Mud Creek Barn, 9740 E. 86th St. Visit mudcreekplayers.com for performance dates and times and ticket information.
