Before I start today’s post, I wanted to take a moment and encourage everyone to contribute to the Chardon Healing Fund. 100 percent of the money raised will help those in the community directly affected by the random and devastating violence from earlier this week. Donations can be made at any PNC Bank branch…
Well, the sore throat I was hoping to shake when I posted last week blossomed into a plague that since Sunday has kept me either in bed or on the couch when I’m not at work. I’m sure exhausting myself at Jump Back Ball didn’t help much – though it was an incredible night! Lack of […]
The Day After Tomorrow. Nope, I’m not talking about Roland Emmerich’s ridiculous, end-of-the-world laughfest (I’ll stick to Independence Day, thanks). I’m referring to Jump Back Ball and the fact that I can’t believe it’s only two days away. Although I signed on to co-chair this year’s Jump Back Ball last Spring, it feels like we announced the theme and started planning it a mere month ago. Meredith (my […]
3 years ago today, I said “I do” to my best friend and partner in crime — Happy Anniversary, Scott! When it comes to anniversary presents, Scott and I tend to gift each other “experiences” in an attempt to not add anymore to the amount of clutter we already have. So, this year, he got us tickets to the […]
Over the last month, I’ve enjoyed blogging about one of my favorite topics: Cleveland theatre. Specifically, highlighting what a few of our local theatres are doing to engage more diverse audiences and help members of the community explore a deeper relationship with the performing arts. I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about local enrichment programs along the way […]
After the last week of snow, I think we are able to say that winter is finally here. And just in time for two events that aim to celebrate Cleveland’s snowy season: This Saturday from 5-10pm, Brite Winter Festival returns for its third year. The event originally started as the creators’ proactive, grassroots approach to stave off the brain drain they were seeing in Cleveland among…
The countdown has begun: Less than two weeks to go until Jump Back Ball! Scott bought the rest of his outfit this weekend, all of my accessories have come in, and at last night’s Shop Night so many of the decor projects really came together. I’ve even had my requisite dream where everything…
After I moved to Cleveland, the first theatre company I fell in love with was Great Lakes Theater at PlayhouseSquare’s Hanna Theatre. Providing a nice complement to Cleveland Play House’s contemporary plays, GLT most often focuses on classic theatre – having its roots in Shakespeare when John Lithgow’s father helped found it 50 years…
Confession time: I have a “Performing Arts Bucket List.” Yep, I’ve managed to combine my obsession for making lists with being a theatre fangirl. One of the items I have yet to cross off: Cirque du Soleil. This Spring, I’m excited to finally experience one of their shows when Cirque du Soleil’s Dralion comes to the Wolstein Center, April…
I have the tendency to go a bit crazy when thinking about home improvement. Don’t get me wrong – I love our house. But although I thoroughly enjoy some of the vintage touches like the laundry chute and milk bottle delivery box, there are a number of updates on our to-do list which can get overwhelming…
