Southern Indiana Classic Half Marathon
Registration is currently
underway for the first-ever Southern Indiana Classic Marathon and Half
Marathon, which is not only a new event, but also serves as a qualifying run
for the 2011 Boston Marathon. Both races of the SICM will be in and around the
vicinity of the Vanderburgh 4-H Fairgrounds on April 11.
Would-be participants are excited about this historic
race, and next month’s issue will cover the event in greater detail. In the
meantime, more information can be found at sicmarathon.com; if you have
specific questions, send an email to info@sicmarathon.com.
Between Daylight & Boonville
Evansville native Matt Williams is well-known for his roles as
the producer/co-creator of popular 1990’s sitcoms Home Improvement and Roseanne.
Evansville
plays host this month to another of Williams’s creations as the Evansville
Civic Theatre is set to perform his play Between
Daylight and Boonville.
Williams’ play, described by the Civic
Theatre as “set in Evansville’s
backyard,” is the story of Carla, a twenty six-year-old high school dropout,
wife and mother. Carla dreams of packing up and moving to escape her dreary
existence. Her friends, less than supportive, tease and threaten her while
spending their day swapping gossip and watching their children play in their
trailer park community.
An ordinary day turns surreal, however,
when the local mine is rocked by a large explosion. The play is a touching and
humorous study of women who possess the courage, the humor and the dignity to
rise above the grimmer facts of their existence.
