‘Seussical’ delights audience with strong characterizations, bright colors

By Jeff corso · Sunday, Oct. 7,2007 8:34 p.m.

As the Cat in the Hat recited: “When the news is all bad, when you’re sour and blue, when you start to get mad, you should do what I do – tell yourself, how lucky you are.” Or one could go see “Seussical the Musical,” where there is no chance of being sad or blue. The musical, which opened Friday in the Ruth N.

Circle City Arts

By Rorye O'Connor and Rorye O'Conner · Thursday, Oct. 4,2007 12:40 a.m.

With its famous circle in the heart of downtown and surrounded by the circular highway I-465, Indianapolis is affectionately referred to as the Circle City. Indiana’s capital is not only home to the Super Bowl XLI champion Colts, but it also is filled with opportunities to experience the arts. From Chihuly glass sculptures hanging in the Children’s Museum to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s “Symphony on the Prairie,” the choices are endless for a trip – or a few trips – away from Bloomington.
