Muncie Civic Theatre Executive Director Elected to State and National Board Positions
Muncie Civic Theatre Executive Director Darrin Murrell has recently been elected to serve positions on both the state and national Boards of the American Association of Community Theatres (AACT). Having held a seat as member-at-large on the Board of Directors of the Indiana Community Theatre League for the past two years, the membership of that organization elected Murrell President of the Board at their Annual Meeting in March. That board subsequently recommended Murrell to the Regional III Board of Directors of AACT as a potential candidate to serve as Region III Representative to the national Board of Directors of AACT. Murrell was elected to that position by the regional board in May and will begin serving a three-year term when he attends the AACT National Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina on June 24.
The mission of AACT is to foster and encourage the development of, and commitment to, the highest standards by community theatres, including standards of excellence for production, management, governance, community relations and service. In addition to giving Muncie and Muncie Civic Theatre a voice on a national platform, Murrell's responsibilities on the national board include serving as liaison from Regional and grassroots community theatres in order to further the participation of and services rendered to these groups, report regional activities and concerns to the national board, provide reports for the national newsletter and assist with all AACT programs and projects within Region III (Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin & Michigan) including the state and regional performance festivals.
Murrell has served as Executive Director of Muncie Civic Theatre since 2003. During that time the organization has completed the first two phases of a long term strategic plan designed by Murrell and the Civic board shortly after he accepted the position. The first major accomplishment has been an increase in programs and capacity by more than 50% including attendance numbers that have risen from 8,000 to more than 14,000, number of productions each year which has risen from 7 to 20, growth of the Young Actors Workshop Program which has increased enrollment from 30 to more than 300, the development of new outreach programs and community partnerships and a significant renovation of the facade of the historic building at 216 East Main Street. The second phase of the plan, now in its second year of implementation, involved overhauling the financial structure of the organization to create a reserve account to hold all future ticket sales income as restricted until the production for which the tickets were sold actually performs, thereby providing a financial cushion which results in positive cash flow throughout the year. The third and final phase of the strategic plan is currently in preparation and involves addressing long-standing needs related to the building itself.
Originally born and raised in Selma, Murrell built a successful career in professional theatre after leaving Ball State in 1987, including stints in New York, Florida and Chicago before establishing his own theatre company in Portland, Oregon in 1998. He was recruited to return and serve as Executive Director at Muncie Civic Theatre in 2003. Along with his wife, Julie Barber, and daughter Sofia, Murrell lives on his family's homestead farm in Parker City. The family will welcome a second child in July. In addition to his work at Muncie Civic, Murrell also serves as President of the Board of Directors of Historic Farmland, USA.

Celebrate the Arts at First Thursdays Downtown
Meet the Artists at First Thursdays in Downtown Muncie
Downtown Muncie, Indiana celebrates the arts on the first Thursday evenings of every month from 5 to 8 pm. Our many art galleries spotlight their exhibit openings for the month and host meet-the-artist receptions; and our specialty shops are open late on this evening for a free, family fun event. Visit www.munciedowntown.com for details.
Some of the gallery events at the next First Thursday, June 7, from 5 to 8pm:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
~ The Artist Within, 313 S Walnut Street - 765-289-7895 ~
June at the Artist Within will feature local artist and Ball State graduate Andrew Chambers.
Mr. Chambers received BFA in 2001 with a major in figure drawing under the guidance of John P. Gee. He has exhibited throughout Indiana and was included in a show in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Andrew states, "My art represents a constant experimentation of seemingly conflicting media with the nude figure, interpretation of symbols, and re-contextualized popular and familiar imagery as my main themes."
This exhibit will showcase his digital work, but will have a few pieces created in traditional media. He feels that artists Umberto Boccioni, Henry Moore, and Peter Saul have had the most influence on him; however, his 2004 reading of "Modern Art and the Death of a Culture" by H. R. Rookmaaker has had a profound impact on how he views art.
Andy lives in Muncie with his wife, Lisa.

Minnetrista to Host National Premiere of GPS Adventures
Muncie, IN - Learn all about GPS and the exciting sport of geocaching! GPS Adventures: From Tracking to Treasure Hunting, is coming to Minnetrista June 2 - September 3. Minnetrista is honored to be the venue for the national premiere of this educational traveling exhibit.
"It is always exciting to premiere a national exhibition or program. It invokes a higher level of anticipation for our audience. And with this particular exhibit, we hope to see audiences from throughout the Midwest as geocachers plan their summer vacations. We look forward to welcoming the national sponsors, Groundspeak and Trimble, to the opening day activities. I believe they will be very pleased with the way Minnetrista has programmed around their first major exhibit," says Betty Brewer, CEO at Minnetrista.
GPS Adventures introduces GPS technology - its history, current uses and future possibilities.
GPS (Global Positioning Systems) is now used not only for serious business, but for fun and recreation. The exhibit simulates the increasingly popular, GPS-enabled sport of geocaching by leading visitors on a search for hidden caches as they gain access to four "satellite rooms" rich with experiences. Key messages of the exhibit are shared in these rooms.
Satellite 1: The History of Navigation - Traditional Navigation is complicated. GPS makes it easy.
Satellite 2: The Great Outdoors - The outdoors is for everyone. Be prepared, go play, and Leave No Trace.
Satellite 3: GPS Today - Geocaching is the popular, GPS-enabled sport of worldwide treasure hunting. Currently there are approximately 2 million geocachers worldwide.
Satellite 4: The Future of GPS: GPS is changing the way we live.
Visitors will be exposed to the technology, but will also be learning some important tips about being prepared and staying safe in the great outdoors. The geocaching experience is simulated as visitors explore a maze with four geocache environment rooms: City, Back Country, Local Park, and Historic Site. Each room features a hidden cache and a secret code challenge.
Enticed by the lure of treasure hunting, visitors enter the maze through an orientation room, where they will learn what they need to know before embarking on their treasure hunting adventure: Find four hidden caches (treasures), solve a puzzle to find a secret code, enter each satellite room and stamp your adventure card.
So that visitors can also participate in a real-world geocaching experience, Minnetrista will have GPS receivers available to check out. Caches will be hidden on Minnetrista's campus, and in each of the following counties: Blackford, Delaware, Grant, Henry, Jay, Madison, Randolph and Wayne.
Exhibit admission is $4 child/student; $6 senior; $7 adult. Hours are Monday - Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Sunday, 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
For more information about the exhibit and related activities, visit www.minnetrista.net, and click on Signal (the GPS Adventures frog), or call (765) 282-4848.
Located along historic White River, Minnetrista includes 40 acres of beautiful gardens and grounds, a modern museum facility, an historic home, Nature Area, numerous sculptures, and a portion of the White River Greenway. Its mission is to create awareness, understanding and appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage of East Central Indiana. Minnetrista serves East Central Indiana with dynamic community activities and exhibits that honor and reflect its mission. For more information about Minnetrista, visit www.minnetrista.net
