One of the best parts about the theatre is they partner with you so that you as an organization makes money and the theatre does too. The stage has everything you need to put on an amazing performance complete with lights, curtains, concessions and backstage dressing room areas too! No matter what show you catch you wil enjoy it and there is a wide range of prices from completely free and up! You will catch plays, concerts, artwork and so much more. If you live in Lawrence Township and have yet to catch a show at the Theatre at the For you need to and for those in Indianapolis in general check a show out or two.

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!

It was okay but not super flavorful. I did enjoy the Cesar salad and the carrot cake. I got these tickets as a birthday present and I thought it was a great gift!

As others have mentioned, there truly is not a bad seat in the house. I came here with a friend to watch a medical themed mystery written by a local cardiologist, and we were even able to chat with him during intermission. The friendly gentleman manning the refreshment counter gave us a bit of background on several of the many cat pieces he'd procured to decorate the building. I can't wait to catch another performance here!

Our foodie group went to Mud Creek Players one Saturday afternoon after brunch to see the play "I…read morelove you, you're perfect . . .now change." 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!

The audience was seated either at tables or were free to sit on the grass. Several groups brought blankets to spread out with some bringing food to eat while they watched the performance. It was a great low key performance. Although tickets were free they did need to be reserved in advance. 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.

I've only ever…read moreseen children's plays and performances -- I've seen plays about Elf and Peanuts and Cat in the Hat, each time with children in tow. The great thing about the Tarkington is that it's big enough to fit lots of people, but it feel intimate. There really isn't a bad seat in the theatre. I saw Cat in the Hat in one of the back rows and was able to see clearly, and I saw Elf in the front middle. It's a different experience depending on where you sit, obviously, but there isn't a bad seat. The Tarkington building is attached to the Center for the Performing Arts parking structure, so you can go straight from the parking area to the Tarkington. You don't have to walk outside through the courtyard, like you do if you're seeing a concert at the Palladium. There's a snack bar / drink bar that's open when the plays are going on. The bathrooms are always clean and open when the building is open, even if there isn't a performance happening.

The Carmel Symphony Orchestra is an 80-member fully professional Resident Orchestra of The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts. It was started in 1976 and Maestro David Commanday was just this week named their new conductor. It's scheduled to go through the 2024-2025 season minimally. The orchestra also holds the Young Artists Competition. The concert itself was exceptional. The orchestra sounded amazing and, of course, the Palladium is an excellent venue with tremendous acoustics and sound quality. The guest performances were beautifully coordinated, as well. The Carmel Symphony Orchestra is a non-profit organization and their various concerts reach about 50,000 people annually. In 2010, the symphony performed on Michael Feinstein's release "We Dreamed These Days" and has performed with quite a few greats throughout its existence and especially since establishing its relationship with the Center for the Performing Arts.
