Chat About Bob Presents, Inc - Indianapolis, 6/24 to 7/10/16

Post by kport »

A newly issued license has been posted on MTI's site - 'Bob Presents, Inc' of Indianapolis.
BOBPRESENTS, INC
INDIANAPOLIS, IN US

From 06/24/2016
Until 07/10/2016
It links to a defunct website for 'athaeneumfoundation.com'. I changed .com to .org and it linked to a live site that includes a theatre for rental - but this may be entirely off target.

Interesting that they qualified it with 'If we discover a BILLY and MICHAEL...'. Indianapolis is about 3 hours drive from Chicago, where another Billy happens to live. You never know.

It is wonderful to note (in the video above) that this show has actors unbounded by any disability. Is that a first for BETM?

Equally wonderful is this post: an evening when retired and serving military service personnel will be given free tickets, and those accompanying them will receive a discount:

Yes, I noticed and think it's wonderful. I couldn't help noting the aptness of the lyrics playing as I watched this very diverse cast learning their steps:

Everyone is different, its a natural state, its a fact, its plain to see.
The world's grey enough, without making it worse, we need individuality.
