Talks around Evansville's Mesker Amphitheatre not dead, not active

EVANSVILLE – Talks over Mesker Amphitheatre aren't active. But they aren't dead, either. That's the purgatorial state of Evansville's historic outdoor venue more than a year after the Board of Park Commissioners accepted a proposal from an outside entity to potentially lease it and raise it from the dead. The person behind that proposal – Tim Drake, owner of The Mill amphitheater in Terre Haute, Indiana – was the only party to express interest during a 60-day window for proposals between July and September of 2025. Talks between Drake and the city apparently stalled, though, and everyone involved has remained tight-lipped ever since . On Monday, Anna Raben, spokeswoman for Mayor Stephanie Terry's office, said "there have been no recent developments in discussions with The Mill." "However, conversations have not been formally closed," she said. "We will share additional information if there are any updates." In a previous email to the Courier & Press, Raben said the city is looking into the possibility of "an" amphitheater. The focus is on "identifying an approach that best serves the community’s long-term interests." Problems at Mesker Amphitheatre None of that is great news for Mesker itself. The 74-year-old venue has hosted everyone from

Cicada Cinema to open movie theater on Bloomington's near west side

This story has been updated because an earlier version included an inaccuracy. After 10 years of showing and promoting movies throughout the Bloomington area, Cicada Cinema will soon have its own theater space for films on Bloomington's near west side. Since May 1, dozens of people have helped in transforming the space at 615 N. Fairview St., Suite 1, so the volunteer-run nonprofit can open its own theater. Previously Cicada Cinema has screened films at the Orbit Room, the Back Door, Hopscotch Coffee, the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts and many other venues including city parks. Josh Brewer, manager, anticipates offering longer runs of new movies. The project "got bigger and better," he said after he purchased almost 70 theater seats from Wolf Cinema multi-plex in Greensburg, which closed. "They just couldn't run a multi-plex in a small town," Brewer explained. After buying the seats, Brewer and others had to detach the seats bolted to the floor inside the old cinema, getting dirty in the process from both the grimy floor and the seats. After transporting them to Bloomington, it took 9 1/2 hours for a team of about 20 volunteers to clean them in the parking lot outside the
