For the first time ever, Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI), Carmel Symphony Orchestra and Indianapolis Arts Chorale came together for one amazing weekend at The Center for the Performing Arts. Sweeney Todd played to a full house at the Palladium Friday night, and the VIP party after the show spilled into the halls of ATI offices. While the planning for this show has been years in the making, the production itself was all brought together in barely two and a half weeks. With this level of success, these groups will surely come together again. A few people at the VIP event told The Reporter they hope someone drops the hint that they should do Phantom of the Opera.
