Oakland Civic Theater's 10 Year Anniversary Celebration

Making a Killing 

November 7-22, 2014 

6450 Oaklandon Road, Indianapolis


In 2004, Oaklandon Civic Theatre opened its doors with the comedy mystery, Making a Killing by John Nassivera. Now, ten years later, three of the original four cast members are bringing the play back to celebrate the Theatre's anniversary. You will enjoy this hilarious story in which a Broadway playwright, his producer, and his wife, hatch a plot to guarantee their new play's success by faking the playwright's suicide on opening night.

Watch and Share this TED Talk on the Value of Play for Children and Adults. 
On September 10, Jill Vialet, Playworks CEO and Founder, shared with hundreds of healthcare, academic and nonprofit professionals what you already know: that play is necessary for developing engaged citizens.

"Our collective well-being...is dependent upon opportunities for play being allowed and encouraged to flourish equitably," Vialet shared. Watch Jill's TEDMED talk.
