As a storm rages outside the Lorraine Motel, the tension builds inside Room 306. It’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s last night on earth, but he doesn’t know it yet.

A gripping reimagination of events the night before the assassination of America’s most renowned civil rights leader.

BPP presents MODERN
Powerful Musical Drama

FEBRUARY 18-19
Book & Lyrics by Selda Sahin
Music by Derek Gregor
Produced in Partnership with University Players
Associate Producers: Anthony Sweeney & Peggy Markle
Sponsored by Ed & Jan Ryan and Cyndi & Dale Nelson

Modern follows a group of Amish teenagers on their Rumspringa, a period when Amish teens are given greater personal freedom ending with a choice: be baptized into the church or leave forever. As they all move in together only a few miles away from their small community, they face the struggle for love, tradition, family and faith—and who they’ll soon become.

*From the composer of two of BPP’s biggest hit musicals of all time: TOAST & ISLAND SONG.

The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) and its Regional Arts Partners is accepting applications for two grant programs: Fiscal Year 2023 Arts Project Support and Arts Organization Support.  

“Indiana’s arts organizations, arts projects, and artists are critical to the vibrancy, connectedness, and economic development of our communities,” said Miah Michaelsen, IAC Executive Director. “These grant programs make it possible for Hoosiers all over the state to have access to arts opportunities, and our Regional Arts Partners work alongside us to promote and expand participation in the arts in Indiana through their direct services.” 

Applicants for both programs apply through their respective Regional Arts Partner.   

About the Arts Project Support Program 

Arts Project Support grants provide nonprofit organizations with funding to support a specific arts activity, such as a one-time event, a single production, an exhibition, an educational workshop, or a series of related arts activities such as art classes or training sessions. The objectives of the Arts Project Support Grant Program are to provide the general public access to quality arts activities, with particular attention to underserved communities, and to support Indiana artists who are a vital part of Indiana's economy and community life.   Projects must occur between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 to be eligible for FY23 Arts Project Support.  

Applications for Arts Project Support are due March 9, 2022, at 4:30 p.m. through the IAC's online grant system. Learn more and access the guidelines. 

About the Arts Organization Support Program 

Arts Organization Support grants provide annual operating support for nonprofit arts organizations' ongoing artistic and administrative functions.   The objectives of the Arts Organization Support Grant Program are to align with the IAC's Public Funding Imperatives and to provide quality arts and cultural activities to the public, with particular attention to underserved communities. The Indiana Arts Commission defines "underserved" as people lacking access to arts programs, services, or resources due to isolated geographic location, low income, age, race/ethnicity, cultural differences, disability, or other circumstances.  

Applications for Arts Organization Support are due March 9, 2022, at 4:30 p.m. through the IAC's online grant system. Learn more and access the guidelines.
