'Present Laughter' farce to hit Brown County Playhouse stage
Aug. 7-23, various times, Brown County Playhouse, 70 Van Buren St., Nashville, Ind. -- Brown County Playhouse producer Jonathan Michaelsen directs Present Laughter, a farce that sparkles like fine champagne. A popular, pampered and self-obsessed stage star is rather fearfully facing his 40s. But Garry needn't worry that he'll be abandoned. As he prepares for an upcoming theatrical tour he is bombarded by friends, relatives, a love-struck ingénue, his long-suffering secretary and an aspiring -- if quite mad -- playwright who invades his elegant London flat -- many of them attempting to seduce him. Then there's his estranged wife to avoid -- or not.

IU student launches new chapter of PATHE to increase college enrollment among Latinos

His perspective seemed unique among the Latino high school students in his acquaintance, however; Escovar noticed that while some of his peers applied for college, many didn't even consider it as an option. Now entering his senior year at IU, Escovar has started a branch of his Latino fraternity's philanthropy, PATHE (Providing Access to Higher Education) at IU to reach out to Latino precollege students across Indiana.

For as long as he can remember, music has been at the center of IU sophomore Joe Sabatino's life. Friends at his Indianapolis high school, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, even nicknamed him "the music man." That's why Sabatino's decision to major in business, not music, at Indiana University was so difficult -- and why the saxophonist/pianist/smooth jazz lover turned Kelley School of Business student spent much of his first year at IU longing for some form of creative expression.
