Melissa Hall has been reviewing live theater since 2006. She lives in Indianapolis and enjoys the city's thriving local arts scene. She is a member of the American Theatre Critics Association and serves on its Steinberg/New Play committee. She is also a board member of the Indianapolis Shakespeare Company. She loves to travel and has been to 41 states and 16 countries. When she's not at the theatre, she can either be found at home with her husband, daughters, and dog or at her job, running a magazine for a state association.

The Marriage Matinee is the joint effort of Mr. and Mrs. Caraker, a couple who live in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since forming the bond of holy matrimony almost 10 years ago, they’re continuing a similar bond with Indy theater. Dylan Caraker is no stranger to the theater scene in Indy. He has participated in over 20 shows both as an actor and as a techie. Since embarking on his journey into career life (and marriage), he had been craving to find a way back into the performing arts and was excited for this opportunity to share his reflections. Celeste Caraker seeks to integrate the arts into her daily life, previously serving as a teacher in a performing arts-centered elementary school in downtown Indy. In this capacity, she was always seeking to inspire a new generation of performers and audiences. When not working, this husband and wife team can be found perusing the wares of vintage markets and art fairs. As if walking down the aisle wasn’t enough of a trek, they also frequent outdoor hiking and walking areas, usually before or after sampling some local flavors in Broad Ripple or Carmel. Together, they hope to bring a unique and dual-sided perspective on the theatrical endeavors of Indy’s finest performers, for better or for worse…
