On tap this week is a trio of performers preparing to bring what is now a modern classic to the area stage. We have three singer/performers, the female leads of “9 to 5: the Musical,” coming to Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette… Caitlin Cotten, who is a previous guest on ART TAP, Kate Martin, also a previous guest and, by chance, my daughter, and Esther Kirgiss, a newcomer to the area. The three talk about their influences to perform publicly, as part of lives with other endeavors in Lafayette Symphony (https://lafayettesymphony.org), Purdue Bands (https://www.purdue.edu/bands/), and a new local eatery, The Lobby (https://thelobbybygreyhouse.com). And they talk about the legacy of the 1980 movie, its iconic characters, the legendary actors who brought them to life on the screen and on stage, and the variations between the movie and the eventual Broadway show.  There is more Florida Man to share, and a common crafting influence led to the quote of the episode, “You just gotta glue some shit together sometimes.” “9 to 5: the Musical” comes to Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette from September 7th to 16th. Tickets are available at lafayettecivic.org. 

On tap this week is Chris McCauley, Executive Director the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette.

His wonder with the arts in the ever-changing and ever more digital world is addictive.

All part of the convo with a fresh spirit and creative technician.

On tap this week is Monica Shaeffer, a private piano and voice instructor, occasional music director for shows at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette, and now Music and Artistic Outreach Director at Trinity United Methodist Church. We spoke about her background as a performer, youth instructor/music director, and now artistic consultant for Trinity United Methodist Church. Discussions of her “meet/cute” with her husband, the nature of creative activity and performance, Lafayette history, preservation, and the possibility of the return of the “Tour of Terror” ensue.

I'm talking with Sarah Mishler, who plays Fiona Finn, the grieving fiancé of the deceased Flanagan, and Helen Coats, who plays town eccentric and mystic, Kathleen Mooney. Interestingly, Sarah played the part of Kathleen last year, so we have a, if you'll excuse me, “old Kathleen/new Kathleen” dynamic here.

One look at the title of Rabbi Mike's book and one could understand why we loved having him on the pod! With a special return visit from Ronnie Nathan as co-host, we had a great conversation. But here's the thing, if you're one of those folks who goes by the phrase, "God said it, I believe it, that settles it" - you're gonna hate this conversation! (Oh and, bless your heart.) Aside from that, we covered a lot of ground. For example, it's okay to question the Bible and wrestle with the idea of God. A rabbi said so! We explored how the Gospels can be interpreted as anti-Jewish. We also discussed whether a Jew could believe in Jesus as the Messiah and still be Jewish.   Rabbi Michael E. Harvey is the Amazon bestselling author of Let's Talk: A Rabbi Speaks to Christians. An ordained rabbi, he has led congregations and served as a hospital chaplain. Rabbi Mike is passionate about social justice, interfaith cooperation, and bringing deep Jewish learning to the lay public. He has followed these passions in serving his community, including founding and directing the Interfaith Council of the Caribbean as well as directing the Interfaith Leaders of Greater Lafayette. He also serves on the rabbinic advisory council of the American Jewish Archives. When he isn't writing, Rabbi Mike can be found building community and offering a listening ear in a different kind of congregation: as a bartender in Indiana.   www.rabbimichaelharvey.com www.rabbimichaelharvey.com/buy-the-book twitter.com/RabbiHarvey twitter.com/coreysnathan post.news/@coreysnathan

Today on the pod we have the honor of talking with not one but two amazing guests! Returning to the pod is the one and only Jo Luehmann along with the brilliant mind of Rabbi Mike Harvey! Many of you probably already know Jo Luehmann (she/they), who is a Colombian born and raised writer, documentary producer, and podcaster who moved to the US to get her masters degree in ministry and theology. After 10 years working inside of churches, developing curriculum and teaching classes on theology and doctrine as an ordained pastor; and finding in personal and systemic ways how harmful and abusive the evangelical church is, Jo quit her job and committed to finding spirituality that wasn't abusive. Alongside her partner she started the Living Room, a non-profit reclaiming faith and spirituality as expressions that can lead us toward wholeness, healing and heaven on earth. In the summer of 2020 alongside a group of victims and survivors of church abuse, Jo started @doBetterChurch an online space where people abused in churches can be seen, heard, believed and connected to others who can offer tools in their journey toward healing, as well as an initiative to invite churches to do better. In less than 6 weeks the space grew to over 5000 people with over a thousand different reports of abuse submitted. In 2021 Jo joined a talented team of organizers, artists and developers to create documentaries telling stories from people in the margins of society so that we all can be inspired to create a better world. Their first feature film is set to be released early 2022. In her podcast, The Living Room with Jo Luehmann, and through her classes, workshops and writing; Jo speaks and teaches about decolonizing faith and theology, as well as the importance of dismantling white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism both individually and collectively.

On tap this week we're kicking off a new series of the ART TAP podcast called “Pre-Show.” Pre-Show will offer early looks at upcoming MainStage productions at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette. We'll talk with directors, performers, planners, and designers and get a preview of what's about to take the stage at the historic Monon Depot Theatre. The Play That Goes Wrong is a 2012 play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields. It opens at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette on Thursday, September 8th and runs through Saturday, September 17th. Go to lafayettecivic.org for information and tickets. I spoke with some of the cast of this wonderful, ridiculous show – Annalyse Ewing (plays Annie the stage manager), Richie Stephan (plays Robert/Thomas Colleymoore), Helen Sorensen (plays Sandra/Florence Colleymoore), and Amelia Goins, who is our real-life stage manager for this play about a play-within-a-play.

Confront the Climate Crisis (CTCC) is a grassroots, statewide campaign that has been achieving climate action solutions in Indiana since September 2020, by West Lafayette Climate. Today, we engage over 150 students from communities across Indiana, including Greater Lafayette, Evansville, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, Gary, Hammond, Carmel, Alexandria, and Kokomo. By bringing youth to the forefront of state politics, we know that we can create the change that we need to see to protect Indiana's future. CTCC educates youth through climate literacy programs, including building little free climate resiliency libraries, creating an information hub of blogs on resilience projects, and planning events to educate our community. We also hold general community events such as climate strikes and intersectional events. CTCC facilitates relationships between youth, local organizations, and policymakers to accomplish specific environmental goals. In the 2021 state legislation, CTCC drafted and introduced a bill establishing a climate task force and concurrent resolution acknowledging the climate crisis. Partnering with Indiana Senator Ron Alting, we met with key legislators and built a coalition around our legislation. Although our bill did not make it to committee, we continue to push for statewide legislative action against climate change. ​We believe that the climate crisis must be treated as the crisis it is by the state of Indiana. Despite many powerful and passionate student-led events, we have seen little action from our state legislators. We have had enough. We demand that the Indiana General Assembly acknowledge the problem of unprecedented climate change and create a plan to systematically deal with climate change and other environmental injustices. We have the power to confront the climate crisis and that is what we will do.

A few years ago, I heard Mark Rockefeller speak about how Veterans can help remove the divide in politics. He talked about how veterans are taught to work and execute a mission with people who are different from themselves. As military members we come from all over with all different types of cultures and experiences but are all seen as soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, coasties and have one primary mission, to get the mission done.It requires not only talking to your fellow service member but also working together to solve the problems at hand.

This week on WBAA’s Ask The Mayor: there’s debate across the country about different reforms for law enforcement – including the idea of “defunding the police”. What does that entail, and what would some of those concepts look like in Lafayette? What would work – and what wouldn’t? What are the city, and the police department, already implementing in terms of best practices? In our talk with Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski, we’ll discuss recent protests that have unfolded in Greater Lafayette, how residents have responded, and how the city and community are communicating right now about what the future could hold.

Late Sunday night in downtown Lafayette, a few small groups were still gathered at the intersection of 3rd and Main Streets, quietly talking and watching the Tippecanoe County Courthouse and surrounding streets. They were piecing together the past few hours. Grant Vasquez was still holding on to a brightly colored sign. He and his friends described what they experienced as a mostly peaceful evening of protest that turned chaotic. “No one’s breaking anything right now,” Vasquez said. “It’s all peaceful right now.” Earlier, people had raced around street corners to get away from the courthouse; some stopped to scoop milk into eyes streaming from the release of tear gas. A protester named Hugo, face covered by a bandana, said he’d been there since 8 p.m, at the start of a planned demonstration to protest police brutality that had officially ended around 9:30 p.m. His eyes were trained anxiously down the street, where the lights of parked Lafayette police vehicles flashed behind a slowly

The pandemic may have delayed the start of the food truck season for Ben Hewitt, but the pitmaster of smolder BBQ returned to the scene to provide some savory sensations this weekend for Memorial Day. Today, we talk about how regional BBQ, life as a part-time food trucker, and seeing turkey beyond thanksgiving meat.

To kick off the long-awaited second season of The Grindstone, we welcome to the studios Dr. Lacey Davidson, who graduated with her PhD from Purdue just this past summer!

In Latino Heartland: Of Borders and Belonging in the Midwest (New York University Press, 2015), Sujey Vega Assistant Professor of Women and Gender Studies at Arizona State University, traces the way Latina/o Hoosiers established community and belonging in Central Indiana amongst the sharp rise in anti-immigrant/Mexican sentiment after the passage of the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 (H.R. 4437). Dr. Vega foregrounds her analysis by illuminating the “pathology of forgetting” practiced by the region’s non-Hispanic White population as they have reimagined and celebrated the region’s ethnic past through the lenses of whiteness and assimilation. Thus, despite their multigenerational presence in the region and regardless of immigration status, Latina/o Hoosiers are perpetually viewed as foreign and unassimilated by many of their White neighbors. Following the passage of H.R. 4437 by the 109th U.S. Congress in Dec. 2005, Dr. Vega explains how the discourses of illegality and nativism intermixed with the region’s collective memory to “other” and “racialize” Latina/o Hoosiers as outside the bounds of community and belonging in America’s Heartland. Examining religious practices, community celebrations, sporting events, and other forms of socialization, Professor Vega details the formation of ethnic belonging among Latina/o Hoosiers as they appropriated space and claimed membership in Greater Lafayette, Indiana. Amidst the anti-immigrant fervor of the day, Vega asserts that the establishment of ethnic belonging laid the groundwork for civic engagement and political activism as Latina/o Hoosiers participated in public demonstrations of solidarity and protest, like the Immigration Reform Protests that swept across the nation between March and May of 2006.

There's only one Greater Lafayette high school team left, and West Lafayette has run through Sectionals. Can they keep it up? For Purdue football it seems to go from bad to worse. Perhaps a QB change? An offensive scheme change? And the family watches LSU versus Bama every year. That's over, what about the rest of the BCS. Can Baylor leap frog Ohio State?

This week we gauge some early post season action for the Greater Lafayette teams, especially with West Lafayette steam rolling everyone. For Purdue football, it's a big week as the Boilers do some soul searching in what looks like a must win game. And of course, so big time college games in the SEC which should shape the national title picture.

It's Monday and that's means an update on the Greater Lafayette area sports. In high school, perhaps it's not just CC and West Side this year. The Boilers got their first W of the season, but have a tough schedule for the next few weeks and rest of the year. And of course you got our weekly picks, as we add the NFL.
