Weekend Big List: April 25-27
Your Late April Weekend Big List of Things To Do…

  • Civic Theatre
    Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
    The Tarkington // Apr 25-May 10
    One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers, and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

  • The Studio Theater // Apr 25-May 11
    9 to 5 is based on the 1980 movie of the same name and features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy, and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy—giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. This musical is a celebration of friendship, empowerment, and the pursuit of a fair and equal working environment. Music & Lyrics by Dolly Parton, Book by Patricia Resnick. Directed by Suzanne Fleenor.

A Global Leader in Roundabouts
Since the late 1990s, Carmel has been transforming intersections, replacing traffic signals with an innovative roundabout network.

Carmel, Indiana, has earned the title "Roundabout Capital of the United States" due to its extensive implementation of roundabouts. As of November 2024, the city has constructed 152 roundabouts, more than any other U.S. city. CNU The initiative began in 1996 under Mayor Jim Brainard, who was inspired by European traffic designs. The first roundabout was built at the intersection of River Road and Main Street. Over the years, Carmel has systematically replaced traditional signalized intersections with roundabouts, aiming to improve traffic flow and safety.The benefits have been significant. Roundabouts have led to smoother traffic movement, reduced congestion, and enhanced safety by decreasing the likelihood of severe accidents. Additionally, they contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing vehicle emissions associated with idling at traffic signals. Environmental Resilience Institute Carmel's commitment to roundabouts reflects its innovative approach to urban planning and traffic management, setting a benchmark for other cities nationwide.
