The Yummiest Performing Arts in Indianapolis

York Performance Hall

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Wow! This is such a beautiful and modern performance hall. It's so bright and airy in the lobby, and spacious and comfortable in the performance hall. There is even a set of seats behind the stage -- I've never seen that before. It's almost like being in a theatre-in-the-round.We have been here for a choral concert, as well as a student film festival, and both times our experience was phenomenal. The sound is excellent no matter where you sit."

Footlite Musicals

★★★★★ 4.5 (37)

"You just gotta love the enthusiasm fo the actors and all the supporting crews. You can tell everybody is working out of love for the plays and not for the love of money. The plays are generally well done, fun and entertaining. The small venue guarantees a good view and accustic from any seat in the house. I suggest getting season tickets, they are such a bargain and give you entertainment year round. Snacks and drinks are also available here. Street parking may seem limited, however, there is a large private parking lot behind the building."

Muncie Civic Theater

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"The Muncie Civic Theatre is absolutely my favorite place in Muncie! I have so many great memories here. Every time I walk in the front doors, the smell popcorn and the building in general hits me in the face and I am immediately super happy! I started going to plays and musicals with my grandfather here when I was in first grade and even now, about 18 years later, I still get super excited about going to the theatre! Just last night I saw Beauty and the Beast and I have no doubt in my mind that I was just as excited, if not more excited, than all of the little kids in the audience! I was definitely more hype about taking pictures with the characters than the kids were! Haha! Civic can always be counted on to put on a good production. The 2016-2017 season will be magnificent! They will be performing the following:Beauty and the BeastMemphisJoseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat To Kill a MockingbirdGreaseSuessical the Musical I plan to attend ALL of the plays this season! I hope you come out for a few as well!"

The Commons Theatre

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Church Street Commons, aka "The Commons" is a former church made into a community theatre. I am actually very impressed with how they used the space; where the altar was is the stage, and obviously the place for congregation seating is now the audience (folding chairs, not the pews). The overall structure of the sanctuary is perfect for this-the ceiling is vaulted, and the floors are hard wood. I've been a few times for my nieces' youth theatre/ summer theatre camp productions. Students from Ball State direct, and local kids are the cast.they have a small snack bar area where they sell popcorn and candy, water and soda. I am not sure if they use the space for other things, but it would be a great party venue or for a wedding reception. My only wish is that they served beer/wine/liquor. No, I am not kidding. It could be a little more high brow that way."

The District Theatre

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"We attended the Little Shop of Whorrors, VIP Style. I was impressed. The VIP lounge was beautifully decorated in the theme of the show. Complimentary cocktail included which of course was fittingly called: the Big Bad Green Mother. Not sure what all was in there, but It was green and I'm thinking it had some Medori in it. A bit sweet, but delish.All the staff very quite friendly and we got lovely seats front and center. I'd say when you get a chance, upgrade to VIP. It's not much more and the seats as well as the welcome, the lounge & drink are well worth it. The show itself was absolutely fabulous and I would go see it again in a heart beat. I'll have to keep an eye out for their upcoming shows. See you there..."

Five Star Dance Studios

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"My husband and I took lessons from Colton at Five Star for our wedding. He choreographed a dance to our favorite song and practiced weekly with us. He even had us come to the studio's dress rehearsal to perform in front of a group so it was less stressful to do it on our big day. The dance went amazing and we cannot thank Colton enough for how much time he put into making our first dance one to remember. I would recommend him and his studio to anyone learning to dance. They are all fantastic."

EnPointe Indiana

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"The dance education that my daughter is receiving from En Pointe Indiana Ballet is phenomenal. I am grateful that Rob and Polly brought their talents to Noblesville and made the decision to mentor these kids. The high quality education aside, one of the best aspects of this dance studio is their involvement in the community. I love the hometown events that the student dancers have the opportunity to perform at. En Pointe is making a point of not only showcasing the talented students in the community, but they have also started traditions such as An En Pointe Christmas, that is pure holiday entertainment for the whole family. If you or your child are looking for a studio that will offer you serious growth as a dancer and a performer, look no further than En Pointe Indiana Ballet."

Cole Porter Inn

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Incredibly restored historic site of one of the world's greatest composers. Lovely grounds surround this authentically decorated home. A knowledgeable and courteous hostess will show, explain and entertain you as you travel through the home. Just one of the unique sites in a very friendly small town!"

Indianapolis Children's Choir

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The world is a song, and that song is sung by the Indianapolis Children's Choir. This fabulous non-profit organization brings children of all ages into the magical realm of music through various local choirs throughout Indy. The ICC family is known for giving each child the chance to shine and grow through their amazing choral programs, and now your child can have that same valuable experience!Along with their extensive calendar of concerts, the ICC makes appearances in various events throughout Naptown. Recently, they appeared with Kelly Clarkson at the Super Bowl XLVI, singing the national anthem! They also perform with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, along with other amazing performers, orchestras, and musicians. As a member of the ICC family, there are many great opportunities for singers to tour the country and the world, performing with other great singers and choirs. The possibilities are endless!The ICC staff are some of the sweetest, knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful musical gurus you will ever have the pleasure to work with! They are chock-full of knowledge, guidance, and direction. Each staff member has years of experience in their designated field, and are utterly dedicated to the ICC mission. There is a golden air of genuine passion, confidence, and love that each director brings to the ICC.

Be sure to check out the calendar for some eclectic choral selections this season!"

Irvington Lodge

★★★★★ 5 (4) • $

"For a wheelchair user, I seem to have a weird fascination with everything in the world that's not particularly accessible. Case in point? The Irvington Lodge. I love this building. I would never really recommend the building for wheelchair users, though I've managed to get around it fairly well. The building began development in 1921 and was completed in 1922. Like many Masonic Lodges, the ground floor was intentionally designed to allow for retail spaces as this would help support the Lodge. If you're familiar with the Irvington Lodge, then you know that it bears on it the rather ominous "Lodge #666" marking. It seems fitting to have this be in a neighborhood recognized for its many haunted locations, but there's no denying it even creeps me out a bit. The building was rumored to be the host of Ku Klux Klan meetings in the 1920s - KKK Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson lived only a few blocks away in a mansion on University Avenue. Until 1950, the Lodge also hosted the Irvington Post Office. The Irvington Lodge continues to be an actively utilized building. Retail spaces are taken by Irvington Vinyl & Books, Hampton Designs Studio & Shop, and LVLUP Gaming Lounge. Additionally, Mosaic Church uses the Lodge's entire 3rd floor. Accessibility is most challenging in the 1st floor retail spots, though I noticed during my recent visit that Irvington Vinyl & Books had installed a bit of a ramp trying to help the situation. It's certainly not ADA, though it is an improvement. You can get into the first floor of the lodge. There is an elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The 2nd floor includes a theatre room, reception room, a fully functioning kitchen, and a buffet area. You can rent these facilities and the rates are pretty market friendly. The Theatre Room has over 2300 square feet and many period touches still in place. It's rather stunning. The Reception Room is right about 1400 square feet. The 3rd floor has a couple of large main rooms. Hardwood floors are in place throughout and there's a stunning balcony that would be great for a wedding (unless you're in a wheelchair - then it would suck). This is one of those buildings I can't help but love. I'd give almost anything to have an office here, though it would inherently be a not particularly wheelchair friendly one. You also have close proximity to the Irving and nearby Irvington area businesses. Renting the facilities requires the usual liability insurance in place and a deposit, though rates are pretty friendly. They don't have preferred vendors - so, it offers flexibility that some venues don't. The Irvington Lodge was acquired, I believe, around late 2017-2018 by longtime Eastside resident Yasha Persson and a team. Given the pandemic was right around the corner, it was a challenging time to acquire such a beautiful building. However, here's hoping it continues to be such a beautiful, vibrant part of Irvington."

Melchior Marionette Theatre

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Puppets! Marionettes! Halloween! Oh my!My wife and I took our 3 and 5 year old kids to Nashville a Friday in October to walk and explore. One of the stops was the Melchior Marionette Theatre. I was great fun. It is located right on the main strip of Van Buren Street. The cost is $5 per person - I think two and under are free. The show lasts about 20 minutes and it is well worth the cost. The woman who put it on exhibits a sense of love of her work. The show was very entertaining. Since we were there in October, the theme was a haunted puppet show (slightly haunted - not scary at all). Additionally, there is free popcorn for everyone!Loved the show, the art and the enthusiasm of the owners."

Great American Songbook Foundation

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The GASF is a fun little gem in sleepy Carmel, IN. It features rotating exhibits usually from Michael Feinstein's collection and is in a very small space. However, if you are intrigued by the Great American Songbook and classic cinema, this place is worth a visit. Try to contact them in advance and ask for a tour. Be sure to let them know your interests. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable about the collection and does a great job pointing out the most moving highlights in the collection. Check out the ground floor of the building, too, because there is typically a small exhibition of items from this collection, as well. My favorite piece in this collection is the cocktail napkin on which the lyrics to "I'll See You in My Dreams" were first penned. Among other things, you'll find holiday cards from Irving Berlin, Bob Hope's golf clubs, the Meredith Willson papers, and so much more."

Paramount Theatre Centre & Ballroom

★★★★★ 4.7 (16)

"The Paramount Theatre Centre & Ballroom is one of Anderson, Indiana's pride and joys, a true classic theatre that has somewhat miraculously been maintained despite being quite literally days away from being torn down in the mid-90s. The Paramount opened in 1929, a John Eberson creation that had the initial misfortune of opening up just as the Great Depression was getting started. It was opened with a plan for vaudeville and movies and at opening had 1,700 seats. The Paramount is an atmospheric theatre and it maintains much of that atmosphere to this day. It was designed by resemble a Spanish Casa with wrought-iron gates, statues, and a ceiling painted with stars that really did twinkle. Clouds were projected onto the ceiling and they would move across the "sky." Because of the timing of building, plans went from a seven-story structure design to three stories with the ballroom on the top floor. There were originally 155 theatres nationwide constructed by Eberson - 12 remain and Indiana has two (the Embassy in Fort Wayne being the other). In 1985, the Paramount closed for 4 years and by 1989 had experienced eight different owners. It was facing the wrecking ball with plans for a parking lot. It was only 3 weeks before the final ordinance would approve tearing down the Paramount that a local lawyer who worked across the street was watching a television show about restoration and came up with and quickly put into action a plan to save the Paramount. It was no small task to attempt restoration - the Paramount had gone four years without heat and cooling and had significant water leaks and other major damage. In January 1995, the restoration began and while it continues to this day by June the first concert took place in the restored Paramount - Sammy Kaye and the McGuire Sisters. The theatre now has wider seating and has been reduced to 1,458 seats - having attended multiple events here including music and film festivals, it looks and feels enormous. All the statues along the wall are original. There's a catwalk along the ceiling to access lights (all 221 of them). The theatre screen is 40' x 20' and is the second largest in Indiana. The Grande Page Organ is still in place and is one of only three such pipe organs remaining in their original theatres. In 1997, it was restored and even enlarged. The Paramount even hosts the annual American Theatre Organ Society convention.In 2015, a new sound reinforcement system was donated along with new aisle lights. You can rent the theatre - in addition to the 1,458 seats it has 10 dressing rooms and on-stage seating for up to 60 guests. You can also rent the Hardacre Ballroom and Marquee Room - the ballroom has 6,000 square feet with an original hardwood floor and the Spanish Villa-themed terrace room with a kitchenette. The Marquee Room is a smaller room appropriate for 70 guests. It does have an accented fireplace. Being that this is largely a vintage theatre, accessibility is certainly hit-and-miss, though they've done very well in most public areas. The theatre does have an elevator, though it does not allow access to all spaces. They offer public tours and specifically note that to do the complete tour some stairs are involved. As a theatre on the National Register of Historic Places, it is exempt but I've been able to enjoy every event I've attended here and the staff members are always exceptionally helpful as needed. If you've never experienced the Paramount, it's worth a trip - they host many special events throughout the year (the 80's band Night Ranger is playing there tomorrow night!). Anderson is actually a rather cool city with lots of sights worth seeing and a chance to check out the Paramount and that amazing organ is definitely worth it."

Tippy Toes School of Dance

★★★★☆ 4.3 (9)

"My daughters absolutely love this dance studio. They always get so excited at the end of the season when they can be on stage and form. I'm always amazed at how well they do. The staff is very well organized and we are pleased."

Silver Lady Saloon & Stage

★★★★☆ 4 (6) • $$

"Love the new management! Great menu, fun atmosphere, and a quality drink list. Great beer on tap too! The price is right! My wife and I ate, had 2 drinks apiece, and it was still under $30. She had the large order of pulled chicken nachos and I had the SLS Burger. Both hit it out of the park! The fries were perfect! It gives you the townie bar/dive bar experience without being dirty or off-putting. Love it!! Seeing locals play darts and listen to good tunes really makes the place shine."

Strand Theater

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10)

"Very nicely redone ole theater that has live shows, comedy acts, bands, plays, and more! Step back in time to elegance when you walk into this place. They have a small concession stand just off to the left side when you walk in. Very nostalgic place to go for some low cost live on a stage entertainment. They kept all the glitz and glamour of years past when they carefully redid this place. For something different than a new release movie at a normal theater, catch a show here sometime. But wait, there's more, if you do want to see a special Christmas, Halloween, or seasonal classic type movie, they also play these too during certain seasons. Next time you see their outside billboard with a show you want to see, stop in a enjoy a night of fun. Limited parking on the street in front of the theater, but lots of parking across the street in the free town parking lot area."

Marian University Theatre

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"I attended the production of Cabaret last night with a friend and enjoyed the performance. Some comments I heard was that it was boring, but not having seen any previous performance of Cabaret (not even the movie with Liza Minnelli!), I really didn't know the story line. The Emcee (played by Jeremy Allen Brimm) was amazing and the actress who played Sally Bowles (Betsy A. Norton) had an amazing voice. Her day job is a surgical nurse at IU Health North Hospital...such talent!The theatre was a little hard to find since the address couldn't be found on my TomTom, but I eventually got there before the performance began. Not being overly familiar with the Indianapolis area didn't help...and didn't help me avoid all the construction issues at Lafayette Road/Highway 65.The theatre didn't serve alcohol before the show or during intermission, but they had me at the chocolate chip cookies! I'd like to see more productions in the future."

Wishes Dance Studio

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (6)

"A friendly and welcoming studio for my 2 daughters (8 and 10). Neither of them have taken dance classes before, but they have lots of options for beginners. The teachers we've had so far for ballet and hip hop have been really friendly and fun--they seem to enjoy being around children and teaching dance, and it shows. I was a little afraid about what our experience would be like since they hadn't danced before, but it's been great--so if you share a similar concern, rest assured that you don't have to be like those dance families you see in reality shows! We did a birthday party here about 5 years ago and had a "real" ballerina come in and lead the kids in a dance...everyone in our group loved it! They even helped us set up our party favors, etc. and took notes when the gifts were being opened so I didn't have to."

The Garfield Park Arts Center

★★★★★ 4.5 (11) • $

"I've got a couple friends who regularly have exhibits in shows at The Garfield Park Arts Center, however, since I live in Lawrence I simply don't get down this way as often. I really should. The Garfield Park Arts Center, like the park itself, falls under Indy Parks. Originally built in 1922 as the "Community House," it was designed to look like a picnic shelter with enclosed walls, high ceilings, and fireplaces at each end. In 1930, a large swimming pool was located in the area that is now the parking lot. At that time, it was primarily used as a locker room and rec center area. In 1990, the pool was removed and replaced by the Aquatic Center that is now located at the Burrello Family Center. In 2006, the "Community House" was remodeled with a $2.7 million grant. It became the Garfield Park Arts Center. The 8,000 square foot facility now houses a multi-use performing arts space, exhibition hall, visual and production arts classrooms, a recording studio, a literary arts library, and a rehearsal room. The GPAC is big enough that it typically has multiple exhibits going. For example, right now there's a modern quilting show, a solo show by Jay Hamm, and a show by Christy Harp. GPAC hosts a variety of workshops and classes including current activities like voice and piano lessons, ceramics, and quite a few visual arts options including those specifically for children. The classes are way affordable - for example, there's a $10 rock painting class for kids. As someone who has a pet rock, I'm all for rock painting. GPAC also hosts summer camps and special events. The calendar is on their website. I'm particularly enchanted by a classic movie night. They've also assisted with some of the public art in Garfield Park. The art center tends to be open limited hours - for example, 1-5pm during the week. It does participate in First Fridays. I'm a big fan of Garfield Park and I'm a big fan of having access to the arts. I find this facility to be quite accessible and even more after their 2006 renovation. It's not perfect (no building of this age is), however, it's quite good. Prices are affordable and the center itself has a nice combination of nostalgia with contemporary comforts. Especially for those with kids who may enjoy the classes, GPAC is a definite winner."

Hilbert Circle Theatre

★★★★★ 4.7 (105)

"What a beautiful theatre, inside and out. I've seen Hilbert Circle Theatre many times from the outside, whenever I happen to be at Monument Circle. Just recently, though, I got to go inside for a concert. I've officially lived in Indiana for 10 years as of 2025, and I finally visited this iconic Indianapolis theatre. I guess this makes me somewhat more of a Hoosier?Hilbert Circle Theatre was built in 1916, and it really feels like a relic of its time. This is the home of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and I was here for one of the ISO's Uncharted concerts: Bartok x Bjork. My seats were great -- several rows from the stage. I walked around the theatre a bit, and discovered that really, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. There is plenty of seating, but it feels intimate.Before the performance, there was a DJ in the auditorium spinning all of the late-Gen X and early-Millennial faves (Portishead and Oasis on the 1s and 2s, of course). There were also little beverage booths to grab a drink. The drinks were a little pricey ($12 for maybe-a-6-ounce plastic cup of cheap red wine!), but that's par for the course with these kinds of places. I was a little concerned about where to park, because there is zero chance I would find parking on Monument Circle. But my worrying was for naught. Just go to the Express Park Garage (20 N. Pennsylvania St.), which is attached to the Hilbert Circle Theatre. Once you park in this garage, you can walk to the theatre without leaving the parking garage -- it has its own entrance. Parking was $10; just make sure to keep your ticket with you."

Irving Theater

★★★★☆ 3.5 (28)

"I have driven by this theatre countless times on my way into Irvington, but never really knew what it was for (or if was even active) till I recently went to a free singer/songwriter showcase show here a few weeks ago. Keep in mind to not have high expectations of the condition or decor of this theatre - it's bare bones basically. I recently came during the winter months and it was freezing inside this theatre. Like, very, very cold as if no heat was turned on. The hot water in the bathroom didn't work either, lol. I know that this theatre is filled with a variety of shows: Rocky Horror Picture Show, live music, and more. The only reason I'm giving them 4 instead of 2/3 stars is because every month they feature 3-4 musicians in their singer/songwriter showcase for FREE, which you can't beat. I'm interested to attend more events here and see how it caters to other types of events."

Actors Theatre of Indiana

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"I just discovered Actors Theatre of Indiana and since I did, we've enjoyed a few shows by them! One of our favorites was a montage of different musicals that they changed the words to. Every few minutes, a different character would come on stage dressed as a character from a famous musical and do a spoof off of the song. So entertaining!They're also doing a murder mystery show soon and we want to get tickets for Sweeney Todd. Actors Theatre of Indiana is a small group that puts on quality shows, so definitely book one for a night of entertainment! They perform at the Center for Performing Arts (next to the Palladium in Carmel)."

Westfield Playhouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"Charming playhouse, easy to locate.Nice big stage with tiered seating.Lots of interesting plays coming upSaw Class of Chaos performed by the Basile Westfield Playhouse Youth Advisory Council.These kids had 24 hours to learn the play and did a great job. My granddaughter Brooke was one of the 17 actors.Tickets are reasonably priced. Lots of parking"

Buskirk-Chumley Theater

★★★★★ 4.5 (17)

"Classic theater in fun college town?!? Yes pls! I've seen everyone from Reverend Horton Heat to Melissa Villaseñor from Saturday night live to the chefs challenge with my 10YO. Love. This. Theater. I haven't had a bad seat yet; Although sitting up front for a Saturday night live comedian is pretty exciting. The parking situation can be challenging so I get here a little early. There are lots of great eateries within walking distance including Uptown Cafe, Farm, Trojan Horse and Osteria Ragu. Try out a sweet treat at the chocolate shop next door or a classic Chocolate Moose Ice Cream cone. Just strolling the charming downtown after an event is very date worthy. Thanks to all the volunteers who keep this place running so smoothly!"

Dance Magic Performing Arts Center

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"My sister are started lessons at Dance Magic around 2002. First going on we got the warmest welcome from all the instructors especially the owner (Linda). I myself danced there from the time I was 5-12, and my sister danced from the age 6-18. It's not only the classes that are amazing. It's the staff, atmosphere, and of course the friends you make a long the way. If you want to take your kids to dance lessons this defiantly the place to go !"

The Pavilion at Pan Am

★★★★☆ 3.6 (11)

"I came here on a visit to Indy to see Galantis. We arrived during one of the opening acts and got in line to go through security. When in line, we were ushered to go into a different line that was labeled for VIPs. This may have just been done to keep things flowing smoothly. Security was quick and efficient; thorough, but polite. We were wrist-banded in order to gain access to the bar area as well. First, we headed over to the coat-check and paid $3 each for them to hold our coats (great value!). We were also super impressed with the value at the bar. Lots of these venues seem to really jack up the prices at the bar, this didn't seem to be the case here.I think the biggest downside to the venue was the bathroom situation, which took one person in my crew nearly 30 minutes to get through the line (I would estimate there were 1-2k people at the concert). Make sure to go early or plan to hold it if you're here for a concert!The sound was great and we had a fun night! I'd definitely come back if there was a concert/show/event here that sparked my interest!"

Bloomington Playwrights Project

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"The Bloomington Playwrights Project is a Bloomington treasure. So many theaters in Indiana have the same old tired plays from years past or plays of popular books or movies. I love that they take a risk and stage completely new plays. I've seen about 4 different productions here, and I thought 3 of the 4 were excellent. As Adam N, mentioned, it's not uncommon for shows to be sold out. The theater is pretty small and some of the seats aren't ideal if you have long legs so grab a seat early. The theater often partners with local businesses to offer free food or drinks in the lobby before the show. Or there may be IU students doing improv in the lobby, depends on the day. The BPP is one of my favorite things about Bloomington."

Butler Arts & Events Center

★★★★☆ 4.3 (97) • $$

"This is a beautiful place to watch a play or musical. Located on Butler University's campus this place is big inside and every seat is a great seat. I've seen the Phantom of the Opera, Blue Man Group, and recently RAIN : A Tribute to the Beatles. That was such a great show!!! It was very easy coming in and finding our seats. They had refreshments popcorn and drinks. A great venue to enjoy a night of entertainment!"

Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre

★★★★★ 4.8 (31)

"Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre is such a lovely space! I went for the first time to see a Sunday matinee of Much Ado About Nothing with a friend. There was plenty of parking available on my visit, which was nice. There's a public garage connected to the theatre, as well as street parking (free), and a limited number of theatre parking spots our front (also free, but with time limits on the signs). The exterior of the theatre building had me staring up at it for a long moment. It's beautiful! The inside is as well. The theatre room I was in was pretty large, but still felt really cozy. It's just a really nice space! Much Ado was a wonderful production. They did a great job with one of my favorite Shakespeare plays! We laughed a lot throughout. My first experience here has me looking forward to my next visit to the Civic Theatre! Hopefully it'll be sooner than later."

Brown County Playhouse

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"We went to see Andy Gross, good show, the theater is small, not a bad seat in the place, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to find parking really close and for free."

Five Star Dance Studios

★★★★☆ 4.3 (11)

"My husband and I were looking for a studio where we could take lessons and have a first dance choreographed for our wedding. We called several studios and Five Star Dance Studios was the only place that called us back. Even though our choices were limited, we are so happy we found this studio. I have danced for many years at many different studios, and dance studios are notoriously disorganized. I appreciate that the staff at Five Star is organized and communicates clearly. The staff and the students at the studio are all so welcoming and supportive. Our first dance choreography was excellent. We received many compliments specifically about the choreography from the guests at our wedding! We are looking forward to continuing our lessons."

Indy Dance Academy

★★★★☆ 3.6 (8)

"Monday night adult hip-hop is the bomb! Teachers Danielle and Jessica (who call themselves Jesselle) are hilarious and a blast to be around. They have such high energy and prepare fun choreography for each class. The average class has about 10-15 people in it, all at varying levels. Never danced before? Come! Danced for several years? Come!The first 20 minutes of class is stretching and a work-out. Danielle and Jessica then teach a dance and the dance is filmed at the end of class. The dances are posted to Facebook and get over a thousand views. Pretty crazy! Look up Jessica P. on Facebook to see the kind of dances taught. They also allow the class to suggest songs that we want to listen and dance to. Very interactive.The only reason I didn't give five stars is because I'm always confused about whether I need to check-in or get a slip of paper each time I'm there because the system has changed a few times."

Fishers Event Center

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (13)

"I was very lucky to be able to go to what was close to one of the first music shows at the brand new state of the art event center in Fishers. It has great but expensive parking across the street. Note park farther away in the lot as there is only one way out. Leaving took me 45 minutes after the show. It is very nice inside and home now to the Indy Ice. There are numerous concessions around the first floor. I got a brat on a pretzle bun and a beer. Prices for food was much more reasonable that Lucas and food was a lot better too. The floor seating is extremely cramped don't buy it unless you like a stranger right up against you for 90 minutes. No leg room either and uncomfortable. View of stage was good and acoustics were excellent. I overall give it high marks and while expensive though the overall experience blows other places out if the water easily for going to shows."

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra

★★★★★ 4.7 (60)

"My favorite places to see them are at the Hilbert Theatre on the Circle and at the Conner Prairie symphonies on the prairie. They're always fun, talented and warrant big crowds. I love how modern and creative they always are. For example, they currently have a movie series where they show movies like Harry Potter and Star Wars and they play the classical music live during it. Seriously, how cool?! They also have mini lunch time concerts, happy hour concerts after work with local food samples, kid events and sooo much more."

Tivoli Theatre

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"Love the Tivoli! It's a small, old-school cinema. Tickets are cheap and concessions are beyond reasonable, plus they offer really cheap refills. Tivoli is great for families. They often host free kid movies. Staff is friendly. If you buy one of the Tivoli T-shirts you get free refills, how fun is that?"
