Jo Ann M. Gora writes:

"The next step in the Muncie Action Plan is a community choices workshop, which consists of two events. The first is a public meeting that starts at 5:30 p.m. March 16 at the Muncie Central High School auditorium. More than 1,600 ideas were proposed at the December meetings. This meeting will review those ideas, develop a framework of goals, and draft initial recommendations. The workshop will take two hours.

"The following day, March 17, everyone is invited to participate in the second part of the workshop, an open house from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in room 114 of the Innovation Connector (1208 W. White River Blvd.). This will be an opportunity to review the progress of the Muncie Action Plan, the only community plan being developed for and by participants, and to meet with key stakeholders for their perspectives on Muncie's future. At the end of the day, the research findings and public input will be synthesized into a coherent vision that will be reported to the steering committee.

"The Muncie Action Plan will be a strategic guide that expresses the values and aspirations of our community while creating a compelling action agenda for the future. Please plan to attend one or both of these meetings and participate in shaping our city's future. Remember that we all are Muncie!"

Hear what community life in Muncie was like during the 1930's from retired Ball State Librarian Nancy Turner. This program will span the years of the Great Depression up until the beginning of World War II. Thursday, March 25 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. No admission fee.

Ball State's University Theatre will transform into the heart of England with its rendition of the classic "My Fair Lady." Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins will light up the stage with song and laughter in the musical made famous by Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. The musical opens March 25 at 7:30 p.m. Additional shows are scheduled for March 26-27 and March 30-April 3 at 7:30 p.m. Patrons can catch a matinee showing April 3 at 2:30 p.m.  

"My Fair Lady" is the transformation of Eliza Doolittle from a poor flower maid with a cockney accent to a "proper" English lady. Her journey is guided by the very strict and grumpy Professor Henry Higgins. The more Eliza learns how to be an English lady, the more independence she gains from Higgins, which forces the uptight professor to change as well in this witty and entertaining musical.  

Director Michael O'Hara said, "My Fair Lady is one of the greatest musicals from a Golden Age of Broadway; it was adapted from one of the greatest comedies of the English stage, George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion; and here it will be performed by some of the most talented people that I have ever worked alongside."

Harold Mortimer, associate professor of musical theatre, is playing the part of Professor Henry Higgins while Ball State students are playing the other roles. The musical includes the well-known numbers "I Could Have Danced All Night" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face."

O'Hara added, "The best part is the joy in sharing the happy but hard work of collaborating with such great students and colleagues to create a complex work of art that says something significant about our human experience."

Audiences of all ages will be entertained and delighted by the brave Eliza Doolittle and the irritable Professor Higgins in the this rendition of "My Fair Lady."
