PigPen Theatre Co. began creating their unique brand of music, film, and theatre as freshmen at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is a group of all-singing, all-strumming Ukulele players, using instruments bought with loose change, which believes that all genres of music are available for reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the Ukulele. A concert by the Ukulele Orchestra is a funny, virtuosic, twanging, awesome, foot-stomping obituary of rock-n-roll and melodious light entertainment featuring only the “bonsai guitar” and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and toe-tapping oldies.

The Muncie Makers Market at Make Music Not Meth

The next two weeks are busy for the Muncie Makers Market! :) I know we all look for ways to support our community, this is the time! 

As the whole planet seems to know, Muncie has a meth problem. So do most towns, and it doesn't stop at meth. To combat both this drug abuse problem that tears families and communities apart, and the awful brand stuck on our town, we are fighting back. No one is coming to save us, we will save ourselves. 

Last year brought the beginning of our Community Healing Concert Series, Make Music Not Meth (MMNM). These events look to raise awareness, and to give concrete alternatives to destructive choices. Hoosier Mike Martin is the organizer behind this series, an actively touring musician and concert/club producer, and he has invited the Muncie Makers Market to show kids, before they make those destructive choices, a bunch of wonderful, proactive, creative people making their own community great. We are role models, and I'm proud of that. 

On Saturday, June 3rd and Saturday, June 10th, the Muncie Makers Market will go as usual, at our lot on the corner of Jackson and Cherry Streets from 4-7p. On Sunday, June 4th and Sunday, June 11th, the Market will be also featured at MMNM, at the Downtown park, Canan Commons (on South Walnut by the roundabout, next to the Marriott), also from 4-7p. The music will continue on through the night and there will be all kinds of activities for kids and families including music jams, bounce houses, a musical instrument drive, and much more!

Come see the Muncie Makers Market! Fresh food, locally grown produce, plants, art, handmade crafts, and live entertainment, all weekly outdoors, May-October, at the Muncie Makers Market on Saturdays from 4-7p on the corner of Jackson and Cherry Streets in the Old West End of Downtown Muncie, AND, we are a PokéStop just FULL of lures! 

*We now accept SNAP/EBT on Saturdays!*

Art through the ages can still be heard through the music of Beethoven, Greenman, and Mussorgsky. The lush sounds of Beethoven paint a sad story, while the world premiere of Steven Greenman’s Klezmer Violin Concerto blends traditional Klezmer music into a live orchestral performance. One doesn’t have to imagine Moussorgsky’s vision, as Viktor Hartman’s art along with contemporary images will be projected in Emens Auditorium during Pictures at an Exhibition.
