Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre presents “A Few Good Men”

CARMEL – The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre will present Aaron Sorkin’s “A Few Good Men” through May 22 at the theater at 3 Carter Green. This Broadway hit is about two Marines on trial for complicity in the death of a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay. A Navy lawyer, more interested in softball games than the case, expects a plea bargain and a cover-up of what really happened. Prodded by a female member of his defense team, the lawyer eventually makes a valiant effort to defend his clients and, in so doing, puts the military mentality and the Marine code of honor on trial.

Beef & Boards reopens with “Smoke on the Mountain”

INDIANAPOLIS — The Sanders family presents bluegrass Gospel fun in the musical “Smoke on the Mountain” through June 20 at Beef & Boards, 9301 Michigan Road. This show tells the story of the first Saturday Night Gospel Sing at a country church in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains in 1938. “Smoke on the Mountain” features two dozen bluegrass songs played and sung by the Sanders Family, a traveling group making its return to performing after a five-year hiatus. Pastor Oglethorpe, the enthusiastic minister of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, has enlisted the Sanders family in his efforts to bring his tiny congregation into the modern world.
