Indy Shakes: Riverside July 18th thru 27th
2024-07-25 19:00 - 22:00, 2024-07-26 19:00 - 22:00, 2024-07-27 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Riverside Park, 2420 Riverside E Dr, Indianapolis, 46202, United States
Riverside is a play by ML Roberts, developed in partnership with The New Harmony Project. Inspired by the desire to honor the history of the area, and the generous welcoming collaborative spirit of so many neighborhood residents, we asked ML (who played Hamlet in our first production in Riverside Park) to research the history and conduct interviews with area residents, chief among them, Phyllis Hackett.
The resulting play, Riverside, developed in partnership with the New Harmony Project and directed by Rudi Goblen, tells part of the story of Black Indianapolis from the perspective of a single family line in 3 different decades, the 1820’s the 1920’s and the 1960’s. We hope you’ll join us for this performance-meets-community event!

The DNR State Fishin’ Pond, started in 2006, gives children ages 5-17 the chance to fish for free during the State Fair. Each year, thousands of kids fish at the pond. For many of them, it is their first fishing experience. The program would not be such a success without the help of wonderful volunteers.
Registration for State Fair Fishin’ Pond shifts occurs from mid-May through mid-August. Would you like to volunteer? DNR recruits hundreds of people to help during the fair. Volunteers receive free admission to the fair, a free T-shirt, and the opportunity to fish with kids for a few hours at the pond. If you don’t like touching worms, getting fishy, or standing in the sun, we also have other volunteer needs. The pond has four volunteer stations, and each volunteer session is four hours.
See the story on WISH-TV. And, double the fun by sticking around to catch a show on the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage.
