That's right.
Welcome to Experience Michiana.
Thank you so much for being with us as we get out and explore the Michiana area.
On this week's show, we're going to find out about a couple of car shows happening over the next two weekends at the Studebaker National Museum.
We're going to head down to Goshen to visit the Carriage Barn, which is a cool event place for things like micro weddings.
But first, Footloose takes the stage in the round at the Wagon Wheel in Warsaw.
So I am here at the Wagon Wheel Theater in Warsaw, and I'm here with Sam, who's the communications marketing guy.
That's what you go by, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Sam, we're getting ready for Footloose.
Tell me about what's happening.
This is actually at one stage, I did actually do a radio show from here, but it was out in the parking lot.
And for some reason, I never came in here.
And as I walk in here, I'm like, this is really cool.
It's so unique.
There's one word to describe Wagon Wheel and that is truly magical.
It's how we like to describe it.
This is a very rare thing we're seeing behind us that not a lot of people have access to.
So I'm excited that you're here.
These are the true magic makers of Wagon Wheel.
The crew, they're the first ones here.
They're the last ones to leave.
So they're building the set right now.
Even though the show opens tomorrow.
But this will be completely done by 8:00 tonight.
Wow.
I have some.
You have rehearsals tonight?
Yeah.
And so is the crew that puts this together.
Are they, like, Warsaw based, or is it footloose?
People that come in and do it or so Wagon Wheel?
Every summer we hire 70 of the best up and coming young professionals in the nation.
So that includes the actors.
Right.
But that also includes painters and designers and stitchers wardrobe wigs.
We hired the best of the best, and we audition alone about 3000 people every summer to come and perform here from all over the world.
So our leads tonight in Footloose are Ren and Ariel.
He is from Georgia and she's from Los Angeles, California.
And so they stay then here.
Like, how long is Footloose actually on?
It's on the whole summer.
Right.
But loose runs for exactly ten performances.
So at Summer Stock Theater, it's fast and furious that we're already in our third show of the summer out of five, which is crazy.
It feels like we just opened our first show a few weeks ago.
Okay, so again, getting all these people from all over the country.
Yeah.
Are there theaters that, like, actors know?
Like, is there a website like where?
Like, I'm kind of curious about that, even though that's probably not what this segment is about.
But I'm curious about how do they find out that this even exists?
That's a great question.
One thing I wish people knew about the performing arts and Broadway in general.
That community is very small.
It's a lot tighter than you might think.
Therefore, when you have performers who The Road to Broadway always includes a stop at Wagon Wheel, which was actually the title of an article that was written about us last year.
Isn't that amazing?
That's awesome.
When we have actors who are fighting tooth and nail to work here and then they're on Broadway, you just kind of learn through that network.
Oh, I definitely want to go work at Wagon Wheel for a summer.
So like a good example is and this is one of my favorite stories, one of our alumni.
Her name is Mackenzie Kurtz.
She's a huge Broadway star right now.
She just she's in Schmigadoon!
On Broadway, which just won the Tony for Best New Musical.
She was Glinda in Wicked.
She was Heather Chandler and Heathers.
Like she is killing the game.
She was Princess Anna in Frozen on Broadway, and her Kristoff was another Wagon Wheel alumni, but they never worked here together.
At the same time, they met in New York.
But they immediately kind of had that really cool connection.
Right.
Isn't that awesome?
It is.
And I'm sure most people don't realize that Wagon Wheel plays such a part in a lot of people's futures.
Oh yeah.
We just hope the message that we are sending to people is, first of all, we're a nonprofit, so we're here to serve the community.
Right.
But we hope that people realize when you are seeing, let's say, Footloose, that Wagon Wheel, you're not just seeing local actors or just some kids from all over the country.
You're seeing the best of the best, who will always, historically speaking, inevitably have an incredible career on Broadway stages.
It's really cool.
And so what about tell me about this theater and the way it's set up, because it's obviously very unique.
Yeah.
So if I'm going to throw it back all the way to in the early 50s, a man named Herb Petrie, who was a very powerful businessman and musician, he saw theater in the round in Washington state and thought, I've never seen anything like this.
And funny enough, he said, you know what town could use this?
Warsaw, Indiana.
So we used to be a dirt floor with a tent where you brought your own lawn chair, and it was outdoors, and it was hot and sweaty in the late 70s, early 80s.
We built this building that were now and we've been killing it ever since.
And what I love about Wagon Wheel, the best thing about it is with theater in the round.
First of all, you're always within ten rows of the action.
And number two, you are literally becoming part of the show.
Our first show of the summer was cats, which is already just a very fantastical experience.
But with that kind of intimacy, the cats are just getting in your face.
It's it's delicious.
It's awesome.
I think it's also really cool for the actors and people involved, that they also get a closeness to the audience that you can't ignore.
Yes.
And they have made comments about that this summer where they're for most of our actors, this is the first time they're working in the round.
They're used to working in proscenium, and they've said, I'm recognizing patrons that are coming back to shows and meeting them after the show at the stage door.
It's a really rewarding experience to build that relationship.
And so also a lot of when you're looking up on stage, there's things swapping and, you know, there's a lot of hidden elements.
So you can't hide anything here really.
I mean, so so also changing the set must be its own unique challenge, which I want to give a big shout out to our artistic director.
His name is Scott Michaels.
He's been here for 31 years, and he's the reason why we have all these Broadway dreams coming to life.
But he likes to tell people he loves a challenge.
He loves to be told what cannot be done in the round.
And then he'll just go do it.
So, like, I will, I will give you I'm going to give you an exclusive.
Can I do that?
Sure.
Yeah.
I will not tell you what, but we have already picked our shows for the 2027 summer season, which is a huge secret.
And we're bringing in three new shows.
Wagon wheel is never done before, and one of those shows technically feels very impossible.
But we're ready for the challenge, and we're going to do it unlike anyone who could ever do it right.
Yeah, it's going to be awesome.
So there's a lot going on.
Yeah.
And you also, I noticed there was some of the orchestra going down as well because at first I thought, oh, they must not have live music.
And because I was just but then there's, there's, there's lots of hidden areas.
So there is so there is a live there is a live orchestra and connected to the orchestra pit, which is right below the show, and they see the show through monitors.
There's a hidden tunnel that a lot of people don't think is real.
There's kind of this legend that there might be a secret 25ft tunnel underneath Wagon Wheel.
There is.
It's very real.
The biggest reason we have it is for fire code, which is so glamorous.
But the other reason we have it is it allows us to do trapdoor entrances and exits.
We always kind of just default to the Wicked Witch and Munchkin Land, right?
How does she rise up?
She can rise to the middle of the stage by crawling through the secret tunnel.
It's also a great place to arrive, to work when you're late someday and you're like, no, no, no, I've been here the whole time.
So I was taking a nap in the tunnel.
Yeah, yeah, just another practical use for it.
But no, that's really cool.
And obviously Footloose is, you know, is happening right now.
What else is coming up this year that people can look forward to?
So after Footloose closes, which is our third show of five, we're moving into dialog for murder, which who doesn't love a murder mystery?
Those are super hot right now, right?
Like a true crime podcast.
We're closing out with Anything Goes, which was written by the late, great Cole Porter, who's a Hoosier who's from Indiana.
So a lot of people consider anything goes to be his magnum opus, but it's a huge tap dancing show on a boat.
It's magnificent.
Yeah.
And so are there also like concerts and things like that, or is it all just shows that happen here?
Great question.
We have what we call our spokes of the wheel, if you know what I mean.
And that's our different programing.
So does that make you the spokesperson I you're welcome.
I've literally never thought of that before and I'm glad that was caught on camera.
I guess the jokes I guess I misspoke.
Well, that's a great new title.
I'm changing my title here now.
You heard it here.
After we close our professional summer shows, we will do a community theater play in the fall.
They're doing a midsummer Night's Dream, and then we always do a Halloween kids show, or what we call a Wagon Wheel Junior show.
So we're really excited about those.
That's great.
I love seeing everything come together because this in itself is magic.
You know, as you mentioned, putting the magic together.
But I almost feel like you can nearly sell tickets to just sit here watching people put the show together.
It is fascinating how it all comes together, and the use of space is such no obstructed view, and there's no such thing as a bad seat.
Yeah, no, that's just the truth of being in the round.
It is.
It's awesome.
So if people want to get tickets, get more information, please.
You can always stop by before the show in person at the box office with Footloose.
I wouldn't recommend that.
We are almost sold out for opening night.
Wagon Wheel Center is your best friend.
You could call us.
You just Google us and look us up.
Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts I always recommend Shameless plug.
I run all of our social media stay engaged on social media.
That's how you find out everything before everybody else does.
Listen to the spokesperson.
He really knows what he's doing, so don't leave that in.
So there's lots going on this summer here at the Studebaker Museum.
And I'm here with Andrew.
Andrew.
Tell me about this weekend.
Coffee and cars.
Tell me all about that, first of all.
Or cars and coffee.
Well, we're delighted to present an Independence Day edition of our monthly cars and coffee.
And it's just like it sounds.
There's bring you down your old cars, your vintage cars, anything you'd like.
And you can get a donut and cup of coffee and check out all the other car guys that are in tow.
I didn't realize just how big car shows are around here until one of my clients I work with, which is a nonprofit, put on a car show, and they have to be so careful about putting it on around because there's just so many car shows around here.
Right?
It's we are blessed with absolutely wonderful car culture in the Michigan area.
And, you know, just about any night of the week if you're between.
On Thursdays we do our monthly cars and coffees to, you know, there's so many places where if you have a vintage automobile or just an interest in seeing some, you can go do that.
And the great thing about it is 3D.
Just a nice way to go out and just get outside and just meet other people.
And, you know, one of my friends has an old MG, like an old British car.
And and for him, it's just an excuse just to go out with his kids and just sit out outside and be outside, enjoy the fresh air and just get to know people.
That's it's not as much about the cars as it is about the people.
It's really a social affair.
I have two vintage vehicles, and my wife and I love just, you know, hopping and going out for dinner or running some other old car guys.
And next thing you know, you know, I have half your evenings gone and everyone's had a really good time.
And so you mentioned you're having an Independence Day version.
Is there something different to your normal monthly show or just it just happens to be falling on July?
It just has fallen July 4th.
I don't think we're planning any fireworks or anything like that.
But, you know, certainly with a holiday weekend, we really hope people can come out and see that.
And the museum is open that that morning from 8 to 10 for, you know, the attendees of cars and coffee so they can come out and see that for free and get a cup of Joe in the process.
And is there a charge to enter your car into the car show, or is it just cars?
And coffee is absolutely free.
You just got to show up and we'll take the rest of it from there.
Now, I know that coming up after this weekend, you have some special events going on and something around LeMans or De La mans.
You know, my French isn't that great, but can you tell me about what's coming up in the future?
Yeah.
Friday, July 10th said.
Or did July 11th.
We have our Concord Elegance at Home weekend down here at the Studebaker National Museum.
We kick off Friday morning with Automotive History Live.
It's a day long automotive history forum.
We have some of the leading automotive historians in the country coming in to talk about everything from the development of the GM's automatic transmission to a special panel discussion on mother roads.
The route 66, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary, the Lincoln Highway, which we can almost see here from the museum and also the Interstate highway system, look at the development of American roadways.
We're going to be graced once again by our special guest, Mr.
Tom Cotter.
The barn fine Hunter.
He's actually going to do two presentations throughout the weekend.
He's going to talk about his barn hunting expeditions and also coast to coast trip he did in a model T Ford back about ten years ago.
And it came right through here in South Bend.
We hosted him for one evening, also on also on Friday, July 10th, we are hosting the Concord, Le Mans, South Bend.
And yes, it is spelled LeMans because that's really what it is.
It's a kind of a tongue in cheek car show.
Whereas, you know, some cars look to celebrate the best we look for in the Concord LeMans, the unusual, the kind of underappreciated.
That's not the word you were using before we asked.
This is a family friendly show, so we really try and keep the language appropriate here.
Tell me about because, because, because behind me are some of the lemons that we brought along which which one of them is just a staff members car.
And then this one here.
Tell me about this, the Avanti.
Well, we're delighted to have Mr.
Don Lindner from the Avani Owners Association is one of our neighbors here.
And he has a tremendous collection of Avani.
He's graciously shared one of the 91 Avanti four door sedan that was produced, considered by many a styling icon and one of Studebaker's finest products.
The sedans attempting to find a new market didn't really kind of hit the mark here, but highly collectible is certainly something you're not going to see anywhere else.
I don't know, Don's watching you here.
I don't know if we can show Don for a second here, but he is head to toe in all of the gear, like he's got the hat.
He's got this shirt.
He looks like America.
He's ready, you know, he's got the belt buckle.
This is amazing.
I mean, he's he's ready to go with this I love it.
And so I don't think this is a lemon.
Just so you know, I think this is actually a really nice car.
But what about your staff members car?
How did you have the conversation with her to try and encourage her to let her car be used as part of this feature to the well?
The 24 hours of LeMans is a nationwide racing series for endurance racing.
As they say in crappy cars.
Okay, you find something for 500 bucks, you throw a roll cage in it and you go racing.
And then they started the Concord element to celebrate, you know, again, kind of the the not so nice automobiles, the underappreciated the under loved.
And they host some of those ahead of Amelia Island concours as well as the Pebble Beach Concord.
And we had a great relationship with them.
I am a 21st day LeMans, a co-owner of a racing team.
In fact, our race car will be down here and just, you know, celebration of the unusual and people can come down.
We'll have about a couple dozen cars here.
Everything from the cars you see behind us here.
I believe we have a tribute Blues mobile from the Blues Brothers coming in.
And someone also has like a shortened 53 Studebaker that literally someone took, like two feet out of the middle, welded it together to make a new car that is completely three.
The show starts at noon on Friday, July 10th.
Goes till 5:00 instead of Best of show.
You get worst in show at the Concord de la mons.
Like Becker's car will be in the soul sucking Japanese appliance class and just it's a really good time and folks can come down.
So the Concordia LeMans is absolutely free.
The Automotive History Live Forum is free with your campus and mission that day.
Or if you get the entire campus weekend ticket, a fantastic buy, you get the whole shooting that year.
You get museum and mission both days, the Concord Elegance at Home on Saturday, the Automotive History Forum, and really a great event.
And so we've talked about the LeMans.
Now let's talk about the elegance and tell me about that happening as well.
Well, we're in the eighth annual Concord Elegance of Capture Home coming up here very soon.
That kicks off Saturday, July 11th, a 10 a.m.
right down here on the grounds and gardens around the whole mansion.
We will have over 90 vehicles on display, everything from a class of dos and really the finest luxury car ever made to a class of vintage motorcycles.
We're also celebrating the Pontiac Centennial that day.
It would be Pontiac's 100th birthday in 2026.
We also have a class full of automobiles, some early cars going back to the early teens.
Had some fun cars called our European Economy class, and of course the class of Studebaker's and Auburn's and cause.
We're also celebrating that brand as well.
I like it and look, I'm an aviation note.
So the way you talk about cars, that's the way I love aviation.
And I know Amelia Earhart, her actual car is here as well.
Right.
And I believe it's a chord which was made here in this state.
Indeed.
Yeah.
We are also hosting people.
Again.
If they come down for the Concorde they can check out all the museum galleries are open.
We have an exhibit called five Driven Women that focus on five female owned automobiles from the earlier part of the 20th century.
That is, one of the centerpieces is Amelia Earhart, scored again, built right here in the state of Indiana, owned by one of our con, Mr.
Jack Boyd Smith, and part of the JBS collection, but so, so happy he was able to share that vehicle with us and some other, you know, some other unique automobiles with some fantastic stories behind them.
Awesome.
All right.
So it's all happening, as we mentioned this weekend, but that's a monthly event.
You know, your cars and coffee.
But then also at July 10th and 11th and you've got that big weekend coming up.
And can people find more information about all this online.
Because we did talk about a lot.
Absolutely.
Folks can check us out.
It's Studebaker Museum and also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
And I think I'm forgetting one social media platform.
But are you on TikTok yet?
I'm just wondering if Don's Avanti has any air conditioning because I'm melting out here right now.
It's so hot.
Is there any AC in this thing?
No, no.
Oh, it's not working.
Okay.
All right.
Does they see in this one though.
Right.
So yeah.
Find us on there.
Or you can go to the Concord website at Concord Homes.
And there's links to either place through the website or just do a simple Google search.
You can buy advanced tickets through the Concord website and should be a great time for everyone.
Bring the kids down.
There's family friendly stuff.
We'll have a Lego racetrack during the day.
Our super service center in the museum will be open as well for the children, and we have a beer garden courtesy of Studebaker Brewing Company being set up that day, so should be full event.
Sounds good.
Hopefully the weather's nice and not as humid as it is today.
As long as it's not raining, we'll take it.
All right.
Thank you.
I'm here in Goshen at the old bag factory, and I'm here with Lori and Michael, who are the co-owners of the Carriage Barn.
And Lori, tell me a little bit about this space and what it is that you're trying to achieve here or offering here.
Yeah, the space here is an event venue.
So we do a lot of baby showers, graduation parties.
And then we also specialize in micro weddings.
So micro weddings up to 80 guests.
That's our guest capacity where you can have weekend weddings and stay in the on site lodging next door as well.
Yeah.
And I know that we're going to have a look at the cabin next door as well in a few minutes.
But about this space and this event space, Michael, was there a big gap in the market for this, or did you guys just love the space and kind of go for it?
Or hoping for the best here right now or what?
It just kind of, I don't know.
We initially purchased this building.
Laurie's always had an interest in this building.
She initially started doing her photography next door.
Loved this building, wanted to get it, find.
Eventually we were able to to get it and as time went on, she was only here a couple days a week.
We should rent it out to some people while she's not here.
And then it just kind of snowballed after that and it was like, oh, let's run it out for a little bit.
And then next thing you know, it's a it's a venue.
Nice.
And it is a really cool venue.
And as I look at it here, I mean, when you talk about micro weddings straight away and actually like it looks like a wedding venue as I look at it here, and so is the hope that this is really a primary wedding.
Like, is weddings the big market that you're going for?
Lori.
Yeah, I think so.
We understood after several tours, after we kind of got it on the market and had had some tours, that it was a niche market that we didn't realize even existed.
Yeah.
Where you can decorate and fill a smaller space when you're planning on just a year fewer guests instead of a larger area, which would be more expensive as well.
Even your decor packages, you can have less decor because it fills it so quickly.
It's beautiful.
I mean, it's I love the rustic feel of it.
That's obviously one of the charming things, but most of being great as a photography studio, it was.
It was what do you know, it lasted.
Are you still doing that here or, you know, now you need another space.
I got kicked out a little.
I kicked myself out.
All right?
Yeah.
Michael, I once worked with my wife.
Now, I'm not trying to cause any issues, but I once worked with her, and one day she was working with me, and I looked over a shoulder and she was on com looking for jobs because she couldn't work with me anymore.
And how is that going?
I mean, you've got four kids.
It's like it's a lot to be working together at home.
Together.
Like it all gets blurry.
So how do you keep that going to blurry is a good way to describe it.
Yeah.
I mean I have a, you know, 9 to 5 job as well.
Okay.
Well that's and you know then we have three businesses on top of that now that we're, that we're trying to keep going.
Yeah.
So yeah, there's just always something to do.
And I don't know, we get we're pretty good team, we get it done.
And she has her strong suits and I have mine.
And I think ultimately we come together and get the job done.
I think you guys should do some kind of, like, renewing your vows here as a publicity stunt, like, you know, for your organization.
We actually did our rehearsal dinner here for our wedding.
All you did was that of renting additional time at the venue or whatever.
It's like, oh, let's just do it here.
And I don't know if that maybe even sparks some of the idea, like, hey, and tell me about the outside space, Lori, because I know that's important for this space to.
Yeah.
It's so we do ceremony to reception transitions.
And so it's an additional space for people to kind of spread out while we're moving chairs and adding tables and moving decor and things like that, especially if they didn't rent the cabin, then they can kind of spread out over their shop at the old bag factory so they can lounge out there, have a drink, and the reception can kind of be inside and outside of the weather's nice.
And you mentioned about the cabin now a few times, so let's go over and see that, because that's a, that's a full all other space of its own.
So we're going to head over there next.
All right.
Oh my.
Wow.
This is a this is spectacular.
The first impressions of this are absolutely amazing.
Was it like this when you got it or like I mean how much did you have to do to make it like this?
A lot.
Some days I feel like I can't even find time to vacuum our own house.
Like, how do you, like, take on this too?
It's.
It's amazing though.
It's so beautiful.
You'd never imagine this, like, close to downtown Goshen.
But it works with the old bag factory, the vibe around here.
So tell me a little bit about this space.
It was originally my photography studio.
I had purchased it from the owners that established it here in 1986.
Before that, it was standing in New Paris as two separate log cabins, and it was built in 1837 and then again reestablished here in 1986.
And then it was probably nine years ago that I bought it from my photography studio.
When we went and bought the carriage barn then and I did my studio, there were like, well, what do we do with this space?
And we're like, Airbnb.
So all of it kind of just happened organically and worked with the city to get all of the permits, had to change it from industrial to residential, and then do all of the plumbing and modernizing a building that was built in the 1830s was exceptionally difficult.
But we had a good a good team.
So it's beautiful.
And so Michael, so far, like the bookings all being around people coming for weddings.
Or do some people just rent it?
Just if there's nothing going on just to staying a cabin and Goshen.
Yeah.
I mean you get kind of a little bit of everything.
People rent it for Notre Dame games, people through the holidays.
They've had Thanksgiving dinner here, Christmas dinner here.
Christmas morning.
People have rented it for baby showers and birthday parties.
And I mean just a little bit of everything.
But yeah, we've seen ups and downs and does anybody.
Yeah, we've had a good once we kind of lumped it in with the venue.
A lot of people have just been like, yeah, yeah, we want, we want it, we want it.
And yeah, I think it's it's going to work out.
Is the upstairs open to the public or I see the stairs here.
I'm like, are there more bedrooms upstairs?
Yeah.
Okay.
So how many bedrooms total are up here?
There's three bedrooms but it sleeps 16.
There's I don't know what kind of family you grew up in where three bedrooms sleep.
16.
Michael, that sounds like my mother's family growing up.
Were all five sisters slept in the one bed.
You know, there's the one room upstairs, has a quadruple, a quadruple bunk bed.
Then there's two pullout couches upstairs, the pullout couch on the main level here.
And then there's a day bed downstairs as a trundle bed under it that pulls out.
So there's just somewhere to sleep.
Just about everywhere.
We even have a couple of air mattress stowed away and people exceed their exceeded capacity.
Yeah, you're really getting as many people in here as you can.
So yeah, let's have a look upstairs.
It's really cool that you're doing this.
I think it's such a great thing.
And again, overall, like Lori, what do you want people watching to really know about?
Not just the space we've talked about, but really you guys, I'm the business as a whole.
Like, what is it that you're really trying to, like encapsulate here?
I, I really want we just got married last year and the venue shopping experience was a little stressful.
Yeah.
Everything was you could get a room and then you could add this room on for $1,500.
You could add the bar on for $1,200.
We really wanted to have a full concept space where it was affordable.
And if you wanted that micro wedding feel, if you knew you weren't going to have 200, 250 guests, you had a place that was beautiful, manageable and affordable.
I love that.
All right.
Can people get more information online about the Carriage barn?
And also here's what all in one place.
Yeah.
So we're on the not the wedding.
Meyer.
Oh, yeah.
Carriage barn events.
Com you can email us at Carriage barn events at.
Yeah.
Lots of different ways to get hold of us.
The wedding crew is a tight knit.
I remember it from 2019.
Like the knot and everything like that.
So people know where to look if they're getting married.
And then what about if you're just looking at staying here, you're thinking this would be nice.
Is that also on the website to or.
Yeah you can find on Airbnb, Vrbo Booking.com you can book direct.
Yeah.
There's a couple of QR codes out on the signs outside, but it's all over all those sites to.
Yeah.
Yep yep.
Okay.
Well thank you so much.
Best of luck with your marriage.
I don't know why that sounded sarcastic.
I didn't mean it that way, but you just got married last year.
I didn't know that until you said it.
And just best of luck with this.
And good for you for going for it, you know?
Thank you so much.
You did it.
Scared?
Absolutely.
What you have to do sometimes.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's how I got.
But once you once you get so far, you don't have a choice.
It's just like so in now.
Yep.
At least, you know you always have somewhere to sleep, right?
Like, if anything.
So now I'm just kidding.
But thank you guys for showing me around.
Yeah.
