Home builder presents plans to common council
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Developer M/I Homes introduced two residential developments, MontClaire and Bending Branch, to the Noblesville Common Council during its April 15 meeting.
CITY NEWS
No action was taken at the meeting. Both developments will go before the Noblesville Plan Commission in May. There also will be neighborhood meetings with surrounding communities in May, and the projects will return to the council for a vote in late May or early June.
M/I Homes Director of Land Acquisition Jonathan Isaacs said M/I Homes has not determined a final construction cost estimate for the developments.
MONTCLAIRE
Jim Shinaver, an attorney with Nelson & Frankenberger, presented the development plans on behalf of M/I Homes. MontClaire would be a 91-acre residential development with 136 home sites on the east side of Little Chicago Road.
Single-story ranch-style homes would range from 1,900 to more than 2,700 square feet, with flexible options for lofts and basements. Two-story homes would start at 2,200 square feet and could expand to 3,800 square feet with basement options. Homes would range from $650,000 to $800,000.
The community would feature 85-footwide minimum lot sizes, side-load garages, a main entrance with a boulevard entry, 46 percent of open space with large tree preservation areas and a community gathering area.
“(With) these lots being a little bit larger, the expectation is if someone wants a pool, they’re going to (build) it in their backyard,” Isaacs said. “You’re going to

BENDING BRANCH
Bending Branch would be a 99-acre residential development north and adjacent to 191st Street and east and adjacent to Moontown Road with 190 home sites.
The development would feature single-story ranch-style homes and two-story homes surrounded by approximately 4 acres of open space.
Single-story ranch-style homes would range from 1,900 to more than 2,700 square feet, and two-story homes would start at 2,200 square feet and could expand up to 3,800 square feet. Prices for homes at Bending Branch would range from $450,000 to $700,000.
Other features would be a main entrance with a boulevard entry, 65-foot-wide minimum lot size, two- and three-car front-load garages and community gathering areas, ponds and amenities like a playground and picnic areas.
The next council meeting is at 6 p.m. April 29.
INDOT — Contract crews have begun work on an intersection improvement project at Ind. 38 and Moontown Road/Hinkle Road in Hamilton County. The project includes the installation of traffic signals and turn lanes. Moontown Road is closed at Ind. 38 through late May. The official detour follows Grassy Branch Road, 191st Street and Little Chicago Road. During construction, both shoulders of Ind. 38 are closed between East Street and Little Chicago Road. The speed limit also is reduced to 45 mph. Hinkle Road is scheduled to close once Moontown Road reopens. Overall construction is anticipated to be complete in October.

HEPL offers digital literacy workshops
news@currentnoblesville.com
Hamilton East Public Library branches in Fishers and Noblesville are hosting workshops to help residents learn more about the technology that’s ubiquitous in the workplace and nonwork lives.
TECHNOLOGY
According to an announcement on the library’s website, about 89 percent of jobs in Indiana require digital skills — including the job application process itself — which can be challenging for those who lack baseline knowledge.
“There are so many ways technology integrates into our lives and it can be easy to take for granted just how ingrained tech is in our everyday,” the library website states. “But, what if any (or all) of those tasks was a struggle — a barrier to the connectivity available to so many others?”
The HEPL programs, funded through a Public Library Association grant, are designed to help build basic technology skills, such as using email, navigating the internet, building cybersecurity awareness and learning more about using mobile devices. Those who attend a class and complete a survey will be entered into a drawing for a free iPad.
“Our very mission here at Hamilton East Public Library is to be our community’s essential connector to information and ideas,” the website states. “One way we are continually working toward this is to help reduce the digital divide.”
The workshops utilize DigitalLearn training materials, created with AT&T, that are available for free to anyone through DigitalLearn.org and screenready.att.com.

Trivia night to aid sight program
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Noblesville Lions Club will hold a trivia night at 6 p.m. April 24 at Bier Brewery in Noblesville to raise funds for a new eye-screening camera for its Kids Sight Program.
FUNDRAISER
Cost per team is $80, with a maximum of eight people per team. Beer and food will be available for purchase before the competition begins. There will be prizes for the team with the highest score and the best-named and themed team at the end of the competition.
The club’s service chair, Josh Kozicki, said the Noblesville Lions Club does several things to help kids with their vision and has used the eyesight camera for about five or six years.
“The specific thing we are working on raising funds for is an eyesight camera that lets us take pictures of kids as young as 18 months through 5 years old,” Kozicki said.
“Just by taking that picture, it will show us whether or not there are any likely signs of eye issues. We can start getting those kids help to find glasses or other support.”
Kozicki said purchasing a new camera will support more children who have issues with their vision.
“It will allow us to be a lot more efficient in seeing more kids and checking more eyes,” Kozicki said. “Our current camera is starting to get old, so we will be able to use both for some time, but then we will have one already ready so that we don’t have to scramble to find a new one.”
The Kid Sight Program is important to the club because, according to Kozicki, Helen Keller challenged the international Lions Club to be “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.”
“Anything having to do with eyesight is incredibly important to us as Lions broadly, and helping kids to succeed is very important to me personally,” Kozicki said.

Art Fair returns in May
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Art Fair on the Square, sponsored by First Merchants, is a free annual event with demonstrations, live music and interactive exhibits. It will return to the Courthouse Square in downtown Noblesville from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 10.
EVENT
The nonprofit arts organizations Hamilton County Artists’ Association and Noblesville Creates partner to present the event, which is a juried art show.
“The Hamilton County Artists’ Association has run this event for several years,” Noblesville Creates Projects Manager Ryan Shelton said. “It’s a juried show, so fine artists applied to the show, and a committee reviewed and accepted applications. Artists should be getting notified soon, and there will be about 30 artists featured this year.”
Shelton said the Hamilton County Artists’ Association created the event to give local artists a chance to showcase their work.
“It’s a simple thing, but Noblesville is a wonderful community with arts and culture, so it’s been a great event,” Shelton said. “Artists get a chance to sell art, and our community gets a chance to see a variety of artists. It’s just a fun atmosphere.”
Several mediums, such as paintings, pottery, photography, woodworking, leather, stained glass and jewelry, will be represented.
“Art allows us to connect as a community and see something beautiful,” Shelton said. “It allows us to be part of a creative world, and when you celebrate that creativity, you never know when you might find the next thing you fall in love with.”
Attendees also can purchase tickets to the Indiana Peony Festival at the event. For more, visit hcaa-in.org/ art-fair-on-the-square.

A legacy of support. Community garden opens for the season
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Noblesville Community Garden is open for the 2025 season at 290 Pleasant St.
PRODUCE
The Noblesville Community Garden Program is a nonprofit committed to helping Noblesville residents access fresh produce by planting more than 1,000 square feet of vegetable gardens each year. It donates organic produce to the community through an on-site stand and local food pantries.
The NCGP is supported by residents who rent plots to grow produce and by donations from individuals and businesses.
Twenty volunteers assisted with the April 12 opening weekend.
Garden lead Monica Willhoite assumed the role three years ago.
“The garden is important in the community,” Willhoite said. “We have some great food pantries, but one of the ways they’re able to provide fresh produce is through these local initiatives.”
The community garden includes green beans, corn, potatoes and onions, among other vegetables. Hoods Gardens on Greenfield Avenue in Noblesville also donates tomatoes, bell peppers and banana peppers.
“We also have a pollinator garden where we have native plants from Indiana and the Midwest, and about eight fruit trees that are also native to the state. In the future, we hope the trees will produce native fruit that we can also provide to the community.”
Volunteers will begin planting May 3, and the garden will remain open until the first weekend in November. For more, visit noblesvillegarden.wixsite.com/ noblesville-garden.
The Payne and Mencias families have long believed in the power of the arts to inspire, connect and transform individuals and communities. With their latest contribution — a transformative donation for the Palladium’s naming rights — these families ensure that art and culture will thrive in Central Indiana for years to come.

Draft league coming to Noblesville
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
League Joe, a national adult sports organization, will offer draft-league amateur softball at Morse Park & Beach at 19777 Morse Park Lane this spring.
SPORTS
“Our bread and butter is typically slowpitch softball, but we do have branches of pickleball, volleyball and other sports popping up all over,” said Ali Massaro, marketing director for League Joe. “Our main focus is being inclusive, and our teams are balanced.”
Massaro said the organization welcomes men and women of all skill levels. As a draft league, players enter a pool and are selected by coaches before the season begins. All players are ranked based on their experience, and each coach has a “salary cap,” an alloted amount of points to use for the draft.
“Our coaches are given an amount of salary that they can use for each round, and they pick their draft picks to build their teams for the upcoming season or tournament,” Massaro said. “It’s all about playing
for the love of the game, with no pressure to be a pro. There’s no compensation, just a great time and a chance to enjoy some friendly competition.”
Massaro said the organization regarded Noblesville as a good place for League Joe after attending the United States Specialty Sports Association National Convention and meeting residents from the northern Indianapolis area.
“We met a lot of great people there and made some connections,” Massaro said. “We have two leagues in Indianapolis, so we get a lot of traction from the northern Indianapolis area. (Residents) chirped in our ears, saying they were interested, so we did research on our end to find what facilities would work for what we do.”
To be drafted on a League Joe team, athletes must be 18 or older, but some leagues allow players as young as 16 to participate if a parent signs a waiver and the teen plays on the same team as their parent.
Seasons are eight weeks, and registration is $95, which includes a custom team jersey.

Indy Jr. Fuel places 2nd
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Indy Junior Fuel coach Oliver Wenck is convinced hard work made all the difference for the 16 & under team.
HOCKEY
The Indy Jr. Fuel 16 & under team finished second in the USA Hockey 16 & Under Tier II National Championship tournament April 6 in Wayne, N.J.
“As cliché as it sounds, we just outworked a lot of the teams there,” Wenck said. “We were the youngest team in the tournament. We had more 15-year-olds than any other team with eight. We were not the most talented team there at all.”
The Jr, Fuel, which finished 33-23-1, fell behind 3-0 before losing to the Portland (Ore.) Jr. Winterhawks 4-3 in the championship. The Jr. Fuel, coming off a month without competition, lost to the Alaska Wolves in the opener and then won three straight to reach the final in the double-elimination tournament.
Wenck, a Carmel resident, said the majority of the 20 players were from Hamilton

County and Zionsville.
“We started the season slow,” he said. “I intentionally built a schedule that was really hard early. As the season progressed, we got better and better. We won a tournament in Nashville (Tenn.) in January that really gave the players a lot of belief that if they committed to our style, they could win really meaningful games.”
Indy Jr. Fuel travel tryouts will be held May 16-18 at the Carmel Ice Skadium. For more, visit iyha.com/travel and iyha.com/ tier2.
Noblesville resident marks 25 years with the Boys & Girls Club
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Abigail Stutesman has been involved with the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville for most of her life.
PROFILE
Stutesman, the director of club operations at BGCN, recently celebrated 25 years of employment with the club. BCGN recently created a scholarship to recognize her commitment, leadership and dedication.
“It was humbling to hear of such a tribute to the club, but also to be a part of something that is a legacy,” Stutesman said.
The scholarship will be awarded starting in the 2025-26 school year in partnership with the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation, which supports Noblesville schools by investing in academic excellence.
“It was brought to our attention that there’s an anonymous donor who’s willing to match up to $10,000 to make sure the scholarship has a strong foundation to grow as something that we can do annually with Noblesville students,” Stutesman said. “Our goal is to raise $10,000 for that scholarship fund. Boys & Girls Club alumni will be the main requirement, because many students are vying for scholarships, and we want to make sure we have an opportunity for our club members as they go through high school.”
A lifelong Noblesville resident, Stutesman attended BGCN as a child with her siblings. Her father was a volun-
teer at the club.
“I got my first job at the club when I was 14,” Stutesman said. “I worked at the front counter during check-in and worked there throughout my high school career. When I went away for college, I would come back and work breaks at the club.”
Stutesman attended Marian University in Indianapolis, where she studied sociology. She was promoted to BCGN’s
education coordinator in her junior year of college and also has served as the club’s program director and unit director. In her current position, Stutesman said she focuses on planning.
“We focus on ensuring that our service to the community is meeting families where they’re at,” Stutesman said. “That has evolved throughout the time I’ve worked here. For my position, specifically at this time, I’m overseeing our club, all its programs, children’s safety and our Camp Crosser program. I also monitor grants and our software systems.”
Stutesman has many memorable moments from her 25-year career.
“(I’ve) worked with the kids so closely and can’t stress the importance of this service,” Stutesman said. “I’ve had the privilege of seeing kids go from school-age children to adults who now have their children here. We hear from alumni that they appreciated the guidance and mentorship, even when maybe they weren’t overly cooperative. As a program director, we got to take kids to several different places — those are core memories.”
Stutesman has three adult daughters who also attended club programs as children.
“I’ve been able to see different angles and how it all goes back to our mission of providing a safe, positive environment for kids,” Stutesman said. “It’s really simple. The kids are everything to all of us.”

Tree-removal program renewed
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation District has renewed its Callery Pear Removal Program for 2025.
INVASIVES
The program was launched in 2024 intended to defray landowner costs for removal of mature, standalone and landscape Callery pear trees.
“We heard from a lot of people throughout the years that they can’t afford to take the trees down. So, we knew there was a need there,” Urban Conservationist Claire Lane said.
For approved applicants, the program provides a $400 reimbursement for the removal of any variety of Callery pear tree. Trees must meet specific requirements to be approved for renewal.
“Trees must be mature, have a trunk at least 20 inches in circumference and be in a landscape setting,” Lane said. “Participants get a response from us on their application, have a contractor of their choice come out and take out the tree and then they get their rebate check.”
Lane said the state gave the Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation District a grant to run a pilot program last year for the trees, and all of the money was gone within a month.
“We were able to dedicate some of our funds and budget for 2025 to open the program up again,” Lane said. “We have already allocated half of the money in the first round of applications this year.

Carmel junior softball player gets boost from coach/mom
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Carmel High School softball coach Stephanie Kleiner and her daughter, Jayden Kleiner, spend countless hours together on and off the field.
Stephanie, in her second year as the Greyhounds’ coach, also coaches Jayden’s Indiana Magic Gold Green 18-and-under travel softball team.
“We work well as a team and we bounce ideas off each other, which not everyone can say,” Jayden said. “It definitely took time because parent-daughter relationships can be hard. But I think we’ve figured out a good balance between coach and parent. We have a good time together.”
Jayden, who already has committed to play for the University of Michigan, is a junior shortstop/catcher
“She started out playing pretty much anywhere on the field,” Stephanie said. “As she has grown throughout the years, she’s

devoted a lot of her time and energy on the left side of (the) infield — shortstop, spent time at third base and catcher as well. She has really developed as a leader, not only playing those positions but just with her knowledge and overall game.”
Stephanie said when she coached an older travel softball team without Jayden,

Jayden practiced with the older players.
“She learned a more mature game and that’s added to her success on the field and added to her mental aspect of the game, where she knows where she’s supposed to be 99 percent of the time as well as where everyone else is supposed to be,” Stephanie said.
Stephanie said attending college camps and watching college softball raised her daughter’s softball IQ.
In the first nine games for the Greyhounds this season, Jayden is hitting .586. She hit .438 with six home runs and 36 runs batted in as a sophomore. She hit .304 as a freshman.
Stephanie said Jayden spends much of
her free time working with Roundtripper Sports Academy in Westfield with her strength and hitting coaches.
“Just putting the ball in play wasn’t going to be enough. She had to put the ball hard in play and make line drives turn into home runs,” Stephanie said.
Besides adding strength, Jayden said working in the weight room has helped her move better laterally when she is in the field.
“Every year, I want to do better than I did last year,” Jayden said. “I’m going up there thinking, ‘What can I do to get on base for my team, so they can move me over?’ Just getting on base as many times as I can is my goal this year.”
Jayden committed to Michigan in the fall of 2024. She said the Wolverines coaching staff will help her reach her potential. She also was impressed with the family culture around the program.
“I’m close to my mom, so being with a coaching staff I knew I could connect to was really important,” she said. To nominate a high school student for Athlete of the Week, contact mark@ youarecurrent.com.

BOOM, BABY!
Pacers’ G League team announces new name ahead of move to Noblesville
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
The Indiana Pacers’ G League team has a new name as well as a new home.
On April 15, Pacers officials announced that the team formerly known as the Indiana Mad Ants is now the Noblesville Boom, which is relocating to the city beginning in the 2025-26 season. The Boom will play their home games at the new Arena at Innovation Mile in Noblesville.
The team was founded as the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in 2007 as a Pacers’ affiliate and played at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum until 2023, when it began playing at Gainbridge Fieldhouse under the name Indiana Mad Ants. The G League is the development league of the NBA.
Todd Taylor, president of business operations for the Pacers, said the rebranded name is a tribute to the “Boom, baby!” exclamation coined by late Pacers coach and radio commentator Bobby “Slick” Leonard, who said it enthusiastically each time the Pacers made a 3-point basket.
Taylor said the Noblesville Boom name also reflects the loud, fast-paced basketball the team brings to the court and the energy and growth of the Noblesville community.
“The Fort Wayne Mad Ants made a lot of sense for Fort Wayne, but we wanted to rebrand it and tie into the Pacers’ DNA while also recognizing Noblesville as the home of our G League team,” Taylor said. More than 400 names were considered before the Noblesville Boom was selected, according to Taylor.
“Our marketing team spent a lot of time in Noblesville and talking to historians,” Taylor said. “As you go through a naming process for a team, there are a couple of things that you start to work out, such

as the connections to the city that you’re going to be in and the identity of the team. We went down the whole path of native animals to Noblesville and the history of Noblesville as a city.”
The Noblesville Boom logo features the color cyan, introduced for the Pacers’ 2023-24 City Edition uniforms, alongside the Pacers’ classic navy and gold color scheme. The team’s court design was unveiled April 21, and Taylor said the mascot and uniforms will be unveiled in the coming months leading up to the season that starts in October.
The City of Noblesville first announced its partnership with Pacers Sports & Entertainment in May 2023. The team will play at the Arena at Innovation Mile, a new 3,400seat, 123,000-square-foot arena near Finch Creek Park in Noblesville set to open this summer.
“This was not necessarily on our radar screen five years ago,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said. “But from the moment we said we committed to terms with the Pacers, it has been an all-in partnership. It has been a mutually beneficial partnership from Day 1 that has reverberated well beyond the sports industry into the business community and the overall philanthropic fabric that is Noblesville.”
Taylor said moving the team to Noblesville will help develop talent for the NBA while exposing the Pacers’ brand to more
communities within Indiana.
“When we had the opportunity to partner with Noblesville and have our home games played there, we were excited because it allows our players to be close to our main hub in Indianapolis,” Taylor said. “From a development standpoint, it’s easy to call players up and down as you need them, and then as you look at the growth of Noblesville and Hamilton County in general, it’s about being able to have the second-greatest league of professional basketball behind the NBA playing minutes from downtown (Indianapolis).”
Proximity to Indianapolis was a determining factor because, according to Taylor, the number of players that have played in the G League and want to play in the NBA continues to rise, and the move allows the Arena at Innovation Mile to serve as a training center.
“It came down to what made sense from a business and brand extension standpoint,” Taylor said. “Hamilton County made the most sense in terms of having a brand extension, and Mayor Jensen and his team have been tremendous in terms of the innovation and build out of the city. We think we can (help) continue that growth.”
Jensen anticipates the Noblesville Boom and the Arena at Innovation Mile will also enhance the city’s growth.
“It’s going to spur not only entertainment aspects but economic prosperity
that we’re seeing on the east side as well,” Jensen said.
Taylor said the move also will help the team to continue to develop.
“I think the (Arena at Innovation Mile) is going to be a beautiful building,” Taylor said. “If you look at sports in general, specifically in Noblesville, there’s great support for that. Being a part of the community is huge in our DNA. It has been a partnership and relationship; we’ve worked through it together. I anticipate great things.”

WHAT’S NEXT?
The Arena at Innovation Mile, which will serve as an event center in addition to being the Pacers’ G League team’s home arena, is set to open this summer. The Noblesville Boom will tip off the season in the arena in October.
“We don’t view (the team name reveal) as the end of this process — it’s the start,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said. “Once we turn it on, it (will) be full speed ahead for professional basketball and the City of Noblesville.”
Todd Taylor, president of business operations for the Pacers, said the organization will begin connecting with the business community and identifying partnerships.
“We’ll go through the process of a deposit campaign and then start to sit down with the city and talk about who should be a partner in the building or companies that have dual interests with the Pacers and the Boom and the City of Noblesville,” Taylor said. “The next steps are building a franchise that (will) have a lasting lifespan in a booming city.”

Funding cuts hit close to home

HUMANITIES
On April 3, Indiana Humanities received notice from the National Endowment for the Humanities terminating congressionally approved grant funding that provides support to our organization and allows us to serve all 92 counties. Money for programs that help students learn about local history, equip libraries to expand offerings and fuel civic engagement vanished. Also lost were funds that supply resources to classrooms, support cultural festivals and enhance Hoosiers’ ability to connect with each other and their community, state, nation and the world.

What does that mean for the residents of Hamilton County? NEH grants helped fund books for the 2024 community read at the Hamilton East and Carmel Clay public libraries. Indiana Humanities made possible last month’s author talk with “American Made” author Farah Stockman at the Carmel Clay Public Library and the Curious Conversations series at Conner Prairie with talks on Roberts Settlement, Indiana’s
It’s not people from Washington, D.C., running these programs. It’s our neighbors, librarians, local bookstores and staff from Indiana Humanities who are hosting. In 2023 and 2024, in our congressional district alone, Indiana Humanities provided more than $31,000 in funding to 52 program partners in 17 communities. These investments in our local libraries, museums and cultural organizations resulted in 266 events that deepened our understanding of local history, helped to strengthen our bonds to each other and encouraged us to imagine better futures and ways of being in the world.

Stand up for libraries
Editor,
I’m writing in support of our libraries, which the Trump administration is determined to shut down. Libraries are facing budget cuts, closures and attacks on the kinds of books they carry. The threat to our libraries is personal to me, because of my lifelong history with them.
When I was a child, I developed a rare and incurable lung disease. Many times, I was given three to five years to live. I’m 61 years old now.
Throughout my academic history, I missed a lot of school. At the age of 5 or 6, my mom took my siblings and I to our local library every week. I was a naturally fast reader, and my habit was to check out every book in the children’s section. I doubled up by doing the same in my grade school libraries.
I didn’t love every book I read, but I learned something from every book I read. I cannot emphasize enough how important books were to me through my childhood: they kept me alive. I was almost always
bed-ridden, and the only thing that made anything other than chronic illness REAL was books.
Today’s libraries don’t just offer books: They host many events for children and adults. Public libraries offer language classes, computer-use classes and voter registration, among other activities. They offer free Wi-Fi, job hunting help, homework support, digital access and safe spaces.
We need leaders who will boost library appreciation and promote library usage, not faux-religious political ideologies determined to cut library funding and ban books and programs.
We need to stand up for access to information, diverse voices and the right to read freely. Public libraries are so much more than buildings full of books, but even if that were all that they provided, we need our public libraries. The books on library shelves give us the entire world at our fingertips.

Reforming Indy to open this July
By Jessica Todd jessica@youarecurrent.com
Lisa Carter, owner of Reforming Indy — a boutique fitness studio — recently announced she will open a facility in Noblesville this summer.
PILATES
Reforming Indy, which has locations in Carmel and Fishers, offers Pilates, fitness and barre classes. Carter, a former ballet professor at Ball State University, took ownership of the business in 2023.
“Reforming Indy’s been going since 2007, and an Australian couple in Carmel started it,” Carter said. “In 2017, they left to go back to Australia, and someone else bought it and kept it going through COVID. He realized Pilates wasn’t for him, and that’s where I came along.”
Carter said people commute from Noblesville to the other two locations, so she determined the demand was high enough to open a studio in the area.
“I think it’s a lot to ask people to commit to exercising and then ask them to drive, too,” Carter said. “The Noblesville location is off Ind. 32, and several cars drive past
every day. The growth down that road is exponential, so it made sense.”
The studio is expected to open July 7 and offer group and individual programs.
“I’m excited,” Carter said. “It’s always a challenge to open a new business, but this is not a business from scratch because people know who we are, and we’ve been around for a long time. Pilates is so good for mental health. I think we will take over Indy with Pilates one Reforming Indy at a time.”

Texan set for ATI role in Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Abigail Storm figured this role was a great fit.
Storm plays Doralee in Actors Theatre of Indiana’s presentation of “9 to 5” from April 25 to May 11. The musical, with music by Dolly Parton, is based on the 1980 movie with Parton playing Doralee.
Storm, a 2024 Ball State University graduate from Austin, Texas, was cast a year ago as Doralee, the secretary to the lecherous boss, Franklin Hart.
“I love ‘9 to 5’ and I love Dolly,” Storm said. “I’m a Texan and Doralee is a Texan. She’s a Texan cowgirl, which is kind of how I am. We have a ranch back home. I’m about to play another Dolly role in ’Steel Magnolias’ later this summer.”
Storm has seen videos of the musical but has never watched it live.
Storm said she recently read a book about Parton’s relationship with her late husband Carl, which is similar to her character’s relationship with her husband.
Texan accent.
“It comes out when I’m angry or tired,” she said.
Fishers resident Devan Mathias plays Judy, and Judy Fitzgerald portrays Violet, the other two main characters who are harassed by the boss. Cynthia Collins plays Roz, who is secretly in love with Hart.
“It’s a wonderful cast,” said Fitzger ald, ATI’s artistic director and a Carmel resident.
Fitzgerald said the story is set around 1980, the same year the movie came out.
“It’s been great to jump into the show and create that relationship with (the character) Dwayne, played by Jacob Butler,” Storm said. “It’s cute. I grew up with Dolly’s music, but I didn’t know a lot about her upbringing.”
One of the songs Storm performs is “Backwoods Barbie.”
“It’s right after all the girls are shunning her because she is in all this get-up, and she is sparkly and over-the-top with her looks. Everyone is judging her and (she) says, ‘I’ve always been misunderstood for how I look. Don’t judge me.’ She talks about how she grew up really poor and saw all these gorgeous women and she thought, ‘I want to be like that. So, if I want to dress like this, who cares.’ She has the attitude that she is who she is and no one’s opinion is going to change.”
Storm said she can apply her natural
“It just has that Dolly Parton spirit, the whole thing,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s mayhem and fun. But it has a great message, and the message is still relevant.” Fitzgerald said she loves her character.
“She’s no-nonsense,” Storm said. “She’s the one that really runs the office, much more than Hart. She works to get the promotion and a person that she trained gets it right out from under her feet.
It’s the boys club. She is the heart and brains of the office. Roz is the office snitch who kisses up to the boss. She sings the song ‘Heart to Hart.’ It’s hilarious.”
J. Stuart Mill, a northwest Indianapolis resident making his ATI debut, plays Hart.
“He’s not a very nice guy. That’s part of what attracted me to the role because I think it’s different from me in real life,” said Mill, a retired Washington Township elementary school teacher in Indianapolis.
“I have a lot of powerful women around me and I respect that. I was asked to con sider auditioning for this by the director Suzanne Fleenor. Suzanne and I go way back. After college, she directed a lot of shows I was in. I’m really looking forward to working with her again.”
Mill has one song that defines his char
acter’s lecherous nature. Although a challenge, Mill said it’s fun to play a bad guy,
“The characters I play are the dads, like Mr. Banks in ‘Mary Poppins,’ who started out hard and they get soft and learn and everyone likes them in the end,” Mill said.
“It’s good to challenge yourself.”

NIGHT & DAY
Stuart embraces instrumentals
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
Country Music Hall of Famer Marty Stuart always enjoyed listening to 1960s albums by The Ventures and Herb Alpert.
CONCERT
“I grew up loving instrumentals,” said Stuart, a country and bluegrass singer-songwriter-musician. “I think everybody in the band did. What I noticed is when we start talking about instrumental bands and covering their songs, we turn into a bunch of 15-year-olds again with our first instruments. It makes it all about fun.”
That spurred Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives’ interest in making a fully instrumental album titled “Space Junk.”
“The Superlatives have always written and played instrumentals,” Stuart said. “We’re players. I noticed one day we finally had 20 original instrumentals, and we thought the world needed a fresh instrumental album. We seem to be doing three to four songs a night from ‘Space Junk.’”
Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives will perform at 7:30 p.m. May 1 at the Payne

& Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“The setlist varies every night,” Stuart said. “However, ‘Tempted’ is the one that always seems to be a part of each and every show. I love that song.”
Stuart and his band have been together for more than 20 years.
“It’s beyond special,” he said. “Nothing stays the same in Nashville for 20 years. “
Stuart has been performing since age 13 and has no plans to slow down.
“Whatever is up ahead waiting just around the next curve and the next unwritten song,” Stuart said of his motivation.
Vocalist set for Center series
By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com
PsyWrn Simone has a unique style of blending vocals from a variety of genres.
CONCERT
“It’s a little bit of this and that,” Simone said. “I grew up listening to about everything. I pull from all the genres, certainly R&B, soul, gospel, some funk, a little bit of contemporary and hip-hop. I like it and create and put it back out there.”
Simone will perform in the Live at the Center series at 7:30 p.m. April 22 at the Payne & Mencias Palladium at Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
“The Palladium is a dream venue. The stage is beautiful, the sound is unmatched,” said Simon, whose given name is AshLee Baskin. “It’s an opportunity to expand listeners and supporters and to expose more people to my artistry. It’s a dream come true among places to perform, especially in this (Indianapolis) area.”
Simone, a Pike High School graduate who lives on the southeast side of Indianapolis, appeared in the Live at the Center series in 2021 as a guest vocalist with classical

pianist Joshua Thompson. Simone said she has been itching to return.
“I’ve been performing pretty much my entire life, but (I’ve performed) in this fulltime professional capacity for the better part of five to seven years or so,” Simone said. “Like a lot of folks, I got my start in the church choir. I picked up playing the guitar. As I got to high school, I started participating in performing arts as a whole, incorporating theatric elements more as you do when you are in a show choir.”
Simone is the associate artistic director at Asante Art Institute.
Tickets are $10 or register for a free livestream at thecenterpresents.org.
