Actors Theatre of Indiana’s Drive-Ins are returning. Due to the success of last year’s Drive-In live performances, ATI will again play host to Drive-In events on May 14, June 18 and July 16.
Last September, Actors Theatre of Indiana began a series of three Drive-In performances in the Monon Square Shopping Center in Carmel. These shows allowed ATI to interact with fans while providing a fun and entertaining night out for those who enjoy live music.
The live shows will each feature a special theme. The Drive-In format allows for patrons to socially distance and maintain the required safety measures issued by the state and the City of Carmel. Area restaurants are within close distance to purchase food and beverages, but just like the Drive-Ins of long ago, patrons are invited to bring their own refreshments, as well.
The following is a list of the themes and music selections for each show:
Start Your Engines
Friday, May 14
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines and drive on over to experience the first ATI Drive-In of 2021. It’s time to rev up for the Indy 500 and the gang’s back together again to bring you the music of the highways and by-ways of America. From “King of the Road” to the surf music of the 1960s, it’s going be some high-octane fun, fun, fun till your daddy takes your T-Bird away.
Our Fathers’ Favorites
Friday, June 18
It’s June and that means honoring Dad. The ATI Co-Founders put together a night with songs inspired by their own dads. It’s a real mix of country, folk rock, tight harmonies and the stuff that makes you move your feet. So, grab a dad and join ATI.
Summer Fun
Friday, July 16
Dwight Lightning and the Conch City All-Stars join ATI for this summer Drive-In. Enjoy some island/beach tunes in the heartland of America. A little Jimmy Buffet, a little John Fogerty, a little Doobie Brothers … and much more, these songs will take you to that roadside haunt or beach destination in your mind.
Note: All the ATI Drive-Ins will feature special guests along with the ATI Co-Founders.
