The Cathcart is a historic apartment building located at 103 E. 9th St. in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It was built in 1909 amid an apartment-building boom in what is now central Indianapolis.: 18 Its NRHP nomination states: "The Cathcart is an architecturally outstanding example of the "Eastern" flat type apartment that was a significant part of the commercial/real estate development of Indianapolis." It is built of deep red brick and grey limestone and has detailing "reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts or Craftsman style." The site of the building was the location of a cottage which had been given as a wedding present to Robert Weir Cathcart and Alice Morrison Cathcart in 1870, and was their family home. In 1909, recently widowed, Mrs. Cathcart undertook to have the apartment building constructed "despite the warnings of all advisors."In 1983, the Cathcart was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the "Apartments and Flats of Downtown Indianapolis" multiple property submission. The apartments in this group were added to the Register for their architecture and for their place in the development of commerce and real estate development in Indianapolis.: 14

The Cabaret

The Cabaret, formerly the American Cabaret Theatre, is one of four professional theatres in Indianapolis, founded January 9, 1988 and located for many years in the Athenæum. It is a cabaret theatre, typically doing only one "book" show a season, which has included Evita, Little Shop of Horrors (with elements from the movie added), and even the spoken play, A Streetcar Named Desire. Most of its productions center on a theme and are assembled with interstitial material by founder and artistic director Claude McNeal. It has primarily used a stock company of actors including Shannon Forsell (who eventually replaced McNeal as artistic director and CEO), Brenda Williams, Jeff Owen, Tim Spradlin, and Gary DeMumbrum. Jane Lynch, Alan Cumming and Leslie Odom Jr. have all performed there.In 2008, it went to several other locations, including the Connoisseur Room at 127 E Ohio St, The Columbia Club 121 Monument Circle, Suite 516, 401 East Michigan Street, and The Metzger Building at 9th and Pennsylvania, where it has been located since July 10, 2017. According to its website, dated February 1, 00-9, "In the face of a change in leadership and financial pressures due to a national economic recession the American Cabaret Theatre is restructured into The Cabaret. The Cabaret’s new business model is unveiled, with the goal of being sustainable in the new economic climate while raising the quality of productions and educational programming." The website currently quotes Wikipedia's definition of cabaret.
