This Thursday, October 22, Walden Theatre is premiering a new play by Hank Willenbrink entitled It Came from Indiana! Just in time for the Halloween season, It Came from Indiana! is a mashup of 1950s sci-fi and contemporary environmental issues in Louisville. Written specifically for the students of Louisville’s premiere youth theatre conservatory, It Came from Indiana! promises to delight and excite audiences with local flavor, fine acting, and more than a couple chills and thrills.
The story goes like this: When students from Yum! Brands High School start making a movie about the environmental issues of the West End, the movie is only half the problem. Is it life-imitating-art or life-imitating-art-imitating-life? Set in the near future, when the I-64 bridges still aren’t done, Louisville still fears what resides across the river, but it may be what’s at home that’s the real problem. Directed by Walden’s Associate Artistic Director, written by Hank Willenbrink, and designed by Lily Bartenstein, It Came from Indiana! proves that the real danger may be what we’re all forgetting on this side of the Ohio.
All performances will take place at Walden Theatre, 1123 Payne St.
The show runs October 22, 23, 24, 29, & 30 @ 7:30pm
October 24 & 31 @ 2:00pm
