Originally known as the Post Theatre, this building was originally built in 1929. It's actually the…read moreonly original Fort Benjamin Harrison building still being used for its original purpose - as a venue for movies and entertainment. While previously it served the military here, the fort itself is long gone and the building now falls under the non-profit umbrella of Arts for Lawrence. Arts for Lawrence acquired the building in 2016 and began some pretty significant renovations including new technologies, film capabilities, cosmetic upgrades, and a building addition. The building can be used for both movies and stage performances and is actively used for both. Indy-based Heartland Film recently moved into the Fort Ben area (in the Sterrett Center) and often utilizes this theater including for its current holiday movie series. Accessibility has greatly improved under Arts for Lawrence (fantastic non-profit), though there are obviously limits given the age of the building. As a general rule, attending events here should be no problem for those, like myself, with mobility issues. There's parking right across from the building. I'm not sure about the seating capacity here, though it's a relatively intimate setting with probably no more than a couple hundred seats. The theatre itself is close to several nearby restaurants and it's easy to make attending an event here a date night. Fort Harrison State Park is also less than five minutes away!

This was my first time coming here to see a play, so I was looking forward to the performance. It has been a long time since I have seen a play at a local community theater, so this was a treat for me. The play did not disappoint me at all. The actors did a wonderful job with the performance. The play is based on a Broadway musical, and it had a little bit of everything from singing to acting with different skits throughout the play. I was laughing and even crying a little bit throughout the play. Mud Creek Players is a great venue in Indianapolis that offers community theater plays and sketches for entertainment. The interior is definitely like an old style stage and theater with a concession stand in the front. All proceeds from the concession stand sales go towards a foundation for the theater. It is a very nice venue and the staff are wonderful and friendly. The play was excellent and entertaining like I said earlier, and it was worth the ticket price of $20. I'm glad I was able to see a play here at Mud Creek Players, and will definitely come back here again to see a play because it was great entertainment for a Saturday afternoon. So glad Indy has culture available to us!

And donations are accepted which I didn't realize until a friend noticed a small sign and basket on the way out. So if you go and enjoy the performance I'm sure donations are most welcome.

While much of Indianapolis spent this past weekend paying attention to the NBA All-Star game, the…read morefine folks behind Heartland Film were using All-Star weekend to kick off their latest film festival offering - the 1st Annual SLAM Film Festival. The SLAM Film Festival is a basketball-themed film festival that is right at home in basketball mad Indiana. All-Star weekend was the perfect weekend to kick this effort off with screenings at downtown Indy's Living Room Theatres in Bottleworks. This is a one-weekend only festival that debuted on 2/16/24 and went through All-Star weekend. It featured such films as Hoop Dreams, Above the Rim, Winning Time, Amongst the Trees, and quite a few others including our beloved Hoosiers. Despite the obstacles of All-Star Weekend, the SLAM Film Festival managed to lure in quite a few celebs and others involved with the films screened. The Hoop Dreams screening featured an amazing Q&A with Peter Gilbert, Greg Sorvig, William Gates, Arthur Agee, Steve James, and Aron Phillips and celebrated the film's 30th anniversary. As always, the folks at Heartland are known for incredible hospitality and volunteers and that was on full display during a busy weekend in downtown Indy. It was a hugely bold move to start this festival in the middle of a big weekend. It was a bold move that paid off wonderfully. If you haven't been to Living Room, I suggest you do so. They're great theaters with a perfect mix of contemporary tech and vintage decor. I absolutely love them. This festival reminded me that I really need to get there more often. Some of these films really didn't get much time on the big screen when they were released. It was nice to see that happen and great to see Hoosiers on the big screen again. Boy, that film really holds up nicely. As is always true with Heartland, accessibility was strong and Living Room does a great job with nearby parking available and the theater itself quite good with accessibility. It's one of Indy's newer theaters and it definitely shows in terms of accessibility. The parking is just a little bit from the main door for the most part, though you may get lucky and find street parking. Parking around here is paid, though Living Room has some validation (check their website). This is a great new addition for Heartland Film and I definitely hope it continues. I love it when Heartland dips into these special weekends and I could easily see this becoming an Indy tradition.

We've been coming here for about 2 years now. In all that time I don't think the bathrooms have…read moreever been cleaned or the floors vacuumed. The facility is always dirty. The only reason we keep coming is because it's the closest place to my house and I can get my daughter here after work. I used to try to work at night while I'm here, but I can no longer connect to the WiFi and they will not give me the new password. I can't use my hotspot because there's no sprint service in this area. I've noticed recently that they turn the heat off at night before the classes end and by the time we leave at 7:00 we are freezing. The sign outside has been broken for over a year. The place is always packed, so it seems like they could pay someone to clean (or bother to do it themselves), and pay to heat the place in the winter while classes are happening. I can see turning it off at night, but not while your customers and small children are still in the building. It seems like they take every extreme measure possible to save a penny. The instructor in my daughter's class in an angel, but the constant filth combined with one thing after another is causing me to reevaluate even bringing her here.

Our family and new baby have made it through the forth trimester and decided to celebrate together. This was a first time to a film festival for each of us and we were super excited for the experience to be at The Heartland International Film Festival here in Indy. All of the volunteers were super nice and helpful. Getting to watch a film premier with the director in the same theater was wicked awesome!!!! If you ever get that opportunity I highly recommend you take it. My kiddos may be young, but I hope they always remember the cool things mom took them to experience such as this film festival. The film we were there to watch premiere was "Zero Gravity" which was a great family friendly documentary that followed a few young Cali students participating in a NASA coding summer program competing for the chance to create a winning code for NASA to use on the International Space Station. It was quite inspiring to see kids from all walks of life coming together to learn and create something so meaningful, tech savvy, and space exploration forward at such young ages. We are definitely living in the space exploration boom times friends! Thank you so much to all of the film directors, producers, and the staff required to create such art. And thank you so much to all of the volunteers who help to create such an unforgettable experience on the world stage! Looking forward to next year!!!
