The Ogle Center at Indiana University Southeast is pleased to announce its 2024-2025 Ogle Center Presents season.
“The Ogle Center is where our community comes together to share its mutual love of the arts in southern Indiana,” said Kirk Randolph, Ogle Center director. “We have assembled an exciting variety of performances by nationally-touring groups along with the return of the annual Holiday Pops concerts that have become a family tradition for so many.”
According to Randolph, “the Ogle Center really has been the heart of arts and entertainment for the southern Indiana region for nearly 30 years, and we’re thrilled to be able to add to the quality of life for our community.”
Along with its signature series, THE OGLE CENTER PRESENTS, the Ogle Center is pleased to welcome back the LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA for its 2024-2025 NightLites series of concerts, featuring incredible classical pieces presented in the intimate setting of the Ogle Center’s Stem Concert Hall.

Constellation is kicking off the 24/25 Season with a trip to the beach! This fall, Constellation is excited to present the Indiana premiere of Wipeout by Aurora Real de Asua, on stage September 5 - 29 at the Constellation Playhouse (107 W 9th St, Bloomington). Directed by Constellation’s Associate Artistic Director, Daniella Wheelock, Wipeout follows three lifelong friends as they take to the ocean for a surfing lesson. Starring Mary Carol Reardon, Julie Dixon, and Renee Lockett, this hilarious Constellation Original is not to be missed.
Age is just a vibe! Three 70-year-old women on surfboards. One 19-year-old hotrod instructor. The currents of the Pacific Ocean. What could possibly go wrong? Wipeout is a poignant comedy about friendship, grief, and the unpredictable tides of life.
Not only is Constellation excited to be producing the Indiana premiere of this play, it’s thrilled to be producing a play that centers around three female characters in their 70s! Returning after our productions of Deathtrap and The Importance of Being Earnest is Mary Carol Reardon as Claudia. Julie Dixon, a professor at Indiana State University who has been seen previously in productions at the Jewish Theater of Bloomington, is starring as Wynn. Renee Lockett, a Chicago-based actor, will be making her Constellation debut as Gary! Joining this stellar team as their 19-year-old surf instructor, Blaze, is Marck Kiselevach, a Chicago-based actor who has performed across the midwest.
Wipeout is directed by Constellation’s very own Daniella Wheelock. Daniella has served as Constellation’s Associate Artistic Director since early 2023. Her work was seen previously in Bloomington in our 2024 production of Webster’s B!+@# and 2020 production of The Roommate in January of 2020.
“Growing up in Southern California, the Pacific was a constant reminder of the relentless surge forward of time and life. Wipeout puts three women–who have spent sixty years lovingly putting up with each other’s BS–in that relentless surge, in the context of a surf lesson. Throw in a young surf instructor completely out of his depth with these ladies, and you’ve got the makings of a great evening of catching waves in the middle of Bloomington,” says director Daniella Wheelock.
Joining the creative team are Scenic Designer Maggie Jackson, Lighting Designer Laura Glover, Costume Designer Becky Underwood, Sound Designer David Sheehan, Projections Designer Andres Fiz, Props Master Aubrey Krueger, Props Artisan Barb Steininger, Stage Manager Tabitha Burton, and Assistant Stage Manager Kalias Brown.
Wipeout runs September 5-29 at the Constellation Playhouse and tickets are on sale now! Tickets start at $35 for adults and $20 for students. In addition to traditionally-priced performances, Constellation offers Pay What You Will Thursdays for all Thursday evening performances. Supported by Jessika and Bryan Hane, this program allows audiences the chance to choose their own ticket price (from $5-$75) when attending on Thursday evenings. Tickets are available through Constellation’s website (seeconstellation.org), over the phone at (812) 336-9300 (Mon-Fri 12-5pm), or in-person at 122 S Walnut St (open Wed-Fri 12-5pm).
