Dress like a gangster and head to the Indiana Theatre

TERRE HAUTE — Terre Haute Landmarks, Inc. will host Hautean Hideway – a Terre Haute Speakeasy — from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the Indiana Theatre, 683 Ohio St. Enjoy the music of the roaring ’20s provided by the Crossroads Brass, have a sloe gin fizz from the cash bar and enjoy the nibbles from Saratoga Restaurant and Sycamore Farms and just socialize with someone new.

Come in dressed as if you were a moll or gangster (minus the weapons please!) Tickets are $20 per person and will be available at the door.

Proceeds will benefit a Terre Haute Landmarks, Inc. project.

At 7:30 enjoy a free showing of Public Enemies, Johnny Depp as Dillinger and Christian Slater as FBI agent Melvin Purvis. Experience a movie about a notorious gang that had numerous connections to Terre Haute and Indiana in a historic landmark theatre, built during the same era.

The movie is based on the book: “Public Enemies: America ’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34” by Bryan Burrough. An examination of the stories of John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, the Barker-Karpis Gang, Machine Gun Kelly, and Bonnie and Clyde as a single narrative history of the FBI’s “War on Crime” from 1933 to 1936, the book is about the bureaucratic evolution of the FBI from a bungling group of amateurs to a professional crime-fighting organization and his central aim is to reclaim the history for the individual agents involved.

Bryan Burrough will be at ISU at 7 p.m. Oct. 5 in Tilson Auditorium as part of the ISU Speaker Series. His presentation is free and open to the public.
