While there’s still plenty of summer left for most of us, the Indiana
Repertory Theatre is already buzzing as our production staff returns to build
the fantastic sets and beautiful costumes for our upcoming season. Over the following weeks we'll be updating you on what's going on at IRT and at other venues around Indianapolis.
After 35 years of magnificent artistry at the Indiana Repertory Theatre, Priscilla Lindsay is leaving to take on the role of Chair of the Department of Theatre and Drama in the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. “Priscilla’s contributions to professional theatre in Indiana are inestimable: from her ingenue roles, played in the earliest years of the IRT, to her 10-year run directing IRT’s holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, to her inspiring work as a theatre educator, to her acting virtuosity in recent years in such roles as Linda Loman (Death of a Salesman), Amanda Wingfield (Glass Menagerie) and the unforgettable Shirley Valentine (which she did twice!), Priscilla’s momentous talent, authentic spirit, and generous heart have thrilled audiences young and old,” said Janet Allen, IRT Artistic Director and Co-CEO. “We can’t begin to thank Priscilla enough for the contributions she has made to the IRT in these many roles, but we can salute and celebrate the great artistry she has left behind, acknowledging that truly, she has been a cornerstone in the making and sustaining of the Indiana Repertory Theatre.”
Please join us for a Cocktail Reception and Open House as we celebrate Priscilla Lindsay's 35 years of magnificent artistry at the Indiana Repertory Theatre and send her off in warm Hoosier style to her new leadership role at the University of Michigan.

Produced in the year of the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, Terre Haute is an imagined series of meetings inspired by events that occurred between Timothy McVeigh and American author Gore Vidal, who took great interest in exploring what compelled McVeigh to inflict such carnage on innocent adults and children. The two men’s distrust of the American government creates a bond between them in a play that examines, but does not excuse, the savage acts of Timothy McVeigh. Produced in London and New York, this play now comes to Indianapolis after a successful run in Terre Haute.
