Q&A with Filmaker Michael Husain and former Pacers Darnell “Dr. Dunk” HIllman and Dave Robisch after the film!
An incredible story of the ABA – a flamboyant rival league to the NBA – and its players. They created much of what the billion dollar NBA is today–the 3-point shot, slam dunk contest, fashion and culture innovators–but then are forgotten in a business deal gone bad.
The Waiting Game is a powerful documentary that reveals an incredible battle between the NBA and a tiny not-for-profit working to gain full recognition for the men of the ABA. It’s a fight for benefits the players of the ABA felt were promised, but never delivered. While following an investigation of the legal trail of the ABA-NBA merger, key impact journalism and the advocacy for justice, the film reveals the lines that can stand between raw corporate interest and basic human dignity.
Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! is National Public Radio’s Peabody Award-winning comedy news quiz show. Host Peter Sagal leads a rotating panel of comedians, writers, listener contestants, and celebrity guests through a rollicking review of the week’s news. Contestants vie for the most coveted prize in all of public radio: a custom-recorded greeting by any of our cast members for their voicemail.
Every week, Wait, Wait…. Don’t Tell Me! records in front of a live audience, then carefully edits out all the raunchy, inappropriate, shocking, and hilarious stuff so we can broadcast something that doesn’t get NPR in trouble… well, more trouble. The only way you can find out what our panelists and guests really think about the news is to come see for yourself. And please—don’t tell NPR. Also, we’re all much more attractive than we sound.

Laid Back Country Picker plays good music and treats everybody right. He has played and recorded with Grammy winners. He has performed at the fabled Ryman Auditorium, Bonnaroo and Red Rocks. His show combines 70s guitar rock, honky-tonk and punk, all with hillbilly sensibility. His band features the powerhouse drumming of his silent partner “Honey”. In her curlers and moo-moo, Honey has no time for foolishness. LB attracts fans from many genres, including rockabilly, punk and metal, as well as more traditional country and rock and roll purists. He has toured the nation and can be heard regularly on Sirius Outlaw Country. Rejecting the modern for the surreal, Laid Back and Honey deliver a unique musical experience.
Johnny Knoxville called Laid Back his favorite new band!
The Los Angeles-based trio, Nuovo Testamento, is lighting up the dance floor with their uniquely dark italo disco-flavored pop hits. Following the release of the coldwave cult favorite Exposure EP in 2019 on Avant! Records, their acclaimed full length, New Earth, exploded onto the scene with its graceful touch of 1980s-influenced club elements, contagious rhythms and the powerful punch of synthpop. The release was widely considered across genres to be one of 2021’s best underground albums. With the release of their highly anticipated second LP in early 2023, Love Lines, Nuovo Testamento continued to explore the light, the dark and exultant personal power in what will undoubtedly become an instant dance classic.

Doors at 5:30pm. TEDxIndiana University returns to the historic Buskirk-Chumley Theater with Mosaic, our 10th annual TEDx conference! Join us on February 27th at 6 PM to hear six powerful ideas from six inspiring speakers, each bringing their unique piece of the human experience to the stage.
TEDx events are independently organized programs licensed by TED, designed to bring communities together around ideas worth spreading – because ideas change everything. Through live talks, storytelling, and meaningful conversations, TEDx creates space for people to explore new perspectives and engage with bold, innovative thinking.
Our conference, Mosaic, aims to be a celebration of the pieces that make us whole. Each fragment of experience, culture, perspective, and story contributes to a larger image of connection and meaning. In a mosaic, no single piece defines the work; instead, beauty emerges through diversity, contrast, and cohesion.
Through exploring lenses like identity, innovation, or community, we invite you to Mosaic to reflect on how individual elements, when brought together, create something far greater than the sum of their parts.
Discover new ideas. Connect with your community. See how individual fragments can create something extraordinary.
Stay updated at tedxiu.com and on Instagram @tedxindianauniversity. This event is recomended to ages 15+.

Haiku Tunnel defies comparison. A workplace comedy unlike Office Space, based on a dramatic monologue yet nothing like the work of Spalding Gray, and featuring a neurotic lead but completely different from What About Bob. What Haiku Tunnel is is a deeply funny film about anxiety, work, love, and 17 very important letters that absolutely must go out right away (you’ll understand when you watch the movie). IU Cinema’s Assistant Director of Cinema Technology Seth Mutchler says, “Just trust me!” [88 min; comedy; English]

The gossip is hot and the hairspray is heavy! The beauty shop is coming to the stage at The Little Theatre of Bedford in the upcoming production of Steel Magnolias. Get ready for sharp wit, southern charm and a whole lot of pink.
Three seasoned veterans of the comedy scene—Dave “The King” Wilson, Dave Dugan, and Tim Cavanagh—take the stage to deliver an unforgettable evening of family-friendly stand-up.
Dave “The King” Wilson brings decades of stage presence and radio cred. He began doing stand-up in the 1980s and became a familiar voice in Indianapolis radio, notably on the renowned afternoon show on WIBC, and as part of the Bob & Tom universe. His larger-than-life persona, radio chops, and Midwest roots combine for sharp, accessible humor that will resonate with anyone who loves a good story with attitude.
Dave Dugan offers a contrasting but equally strong presence—his every-man delivery, dry wit, and clean material have landed him national exposure on networks like Comedy Central and HBO, as well as regular appearances on the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. He’s known for customizing his act to the audience, making him a favorite for live events and theaters alike—and now you get to see him live in a theatre setting.
Tim Cavanagh rounds out the trio with a comedic musical edge. He’s been performing for more than 30 years, producing rapid-fire jokes, parodies, and songs, and has been featured on national television and radio including regular segments on the Bob & Tom Show. His style brings a different flavor—witty, playful, and adept at engaging the crowd.
Whether you’re a seasoned comedy fan or simply looking for a night out filled with laughter, this event checks all the boxes.

In a busted, musty house in Atlanta, where the basement flooded when it rained, the air smelled like mildew, and the landlord once tried to evict them for using the space as an “electronic rock band facility,” Sword II recorded the most ambitious, accessible, and electrically charged music of their lives.
Electric Hour, the band’s forthcoming full-length for section1, is a wildly catchy and deeply principled rock record. It’s about the beauty and terror of living under a surveillance state, loving people through extreme hardships, and finding strength in friendship and creative resistance.
Self-recorded over a 14-month period by the band – Mari González (she/her), Certain Zuko (she/her), and Travis Arnold (he/him) – the album marks Sword II’s first fully cohesive statement after years of working in a more experimental, song-by-song mode. Each member brings a distinct set of influences: Mari drawing from the emotional and sonic complexity of Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush, the grit of Lucinda Williams, and the drama of musical theater; Certain blends the theatricality of Rocky Horror, the raw energy of hardcore punk, and the playful psychedelia of MGMT; Travis channels the pop bite of Avril Lavigne, the glossy darkness of The Weeknd, and the layered intensity of My Bloody Valentine. Together, they’ve forged a sound that’s raw, unadorned, defiant, and grounded in real-world experience.
