'Five Course Love' will be performed Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through June 14th at Theatre on the Square.

Poet Norbert Krapf will be reading at the Athenaeum on June 11th for free.

1. 'Five Course Love'

8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 5 p.m. Sundays, through June 14; $20-$25; Theatre on the Square, 627 Massachusetts Ave.; www.tots.org

Romancing in restaurants is the theme of Theatre on the Square's comic musical "Five Course Love." Three actors play 15 characters trying to find the perfect mate in five restaurants, from Dean's Old-Fashioned All-American Down-Home Bar-B-Que Texas Eats to Trattoria Pericolo to the Star-Lite Diner.

2. Indiana Festival

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 7, 11.a.m. to 5 p.m. June 8, $7, $3 children, Conner Prairie, 13400 Allisonville Road, Fishers, www.connerprairie.org

Unlike the State Fair, Indiana Festival celebrates the Hoosier of the 21st century. And, you'll learn that Hoosiers come in every color. They play West African drums and Irish flutes, they dance Russian ballet and Cuban Rumba, and they eat jerk chicken, spanakopita, and (yes) gigantic breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches.

3. Artist Encounter with Israeli composer Avner Dorman

6 p.m. June 5, free, Arthur M. Glick Jewish Community Center's Laikin Auditorium, 6701 Hoover Road, www.jccindy.org

Avner Dorman, considered Israel's leading young composer, comes to Indianapolis for the U.S. premiere of his Ellef (Millennium) Symphony. The first three movements are based on Jewish war poems from the past thousand years; the final movement treats the new millennium as an empty canvas, on which we can create a world that overcomes war. Join Dorman, along with New Israeli Opera director Asher Fisch and ISO principal violist Michael Isaac Strauss, for a free, pre-concert discussion.

4. Reading by poet Norbert Krapf

7:30 p.m. June 11, free, Athenaeum, 401 E. Michigan St., www.krapfpoetry.com

Embrace Indiana's German heritage when Pulitzer Prize- nominated poet Norbert Krapf reads from his prose memoir, "The Ripest Moments: A Southern Indiana Childhood." The book shows how the roots his German ancestors put down in Jasper in the 1840s continue to shape the community today.

5. Strings in Harmony: A Duet by Indian masters

7:30 p.m. June 7, $15 general admission, University of Indianapolis DeHaan Auditorium, 1400 E. Hanna Ave., (317) 788-2135.

Purists bristled when sitar superstar Gaurav Mazumdar and violinist Lalgudi Krishnan first performed a jugalbandi (duet) together in New Delhi.

Grammy-nominee Mazumdar is master of Hindustani music, the style of classical music from North India; Krishnan is steeped in Carnatic music, from Sorth India. Imagine a concerto fusing bebop jazz and country western. Their wildly popular performance has reshaped purists' thinking about pairing the two styles of music. The sitarist and the violinists will be accompanied by Sai Shyam Mohan on the North Indian Tabla and by Vinod Seetharaman on the South Indian Mridangam.
