Although summer officially begins in late June, the season seems to start weeks and even months before the solstice. For some, summer starts the first time they dine on the patio of their favorite restaurant; for others, it’s when the neighborhood pool opens or they break out the grill for a barbeque.…
… A look back at last weekend’s Parade the Circle, BRRG and Chef Jam 2010 … One of my goals when I started this blog was to highlight a variety of the places and events that can be found in Cleveland. And I hope that I’ve made some progress in…
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend (6/11 – 6/13), Cleveland’s definitely not lacking in options. Myself, I’ll be running around tomorrow and Sunday – hitting up Parade the Circle, the Burning River Roller Girls’ Semi-Finals, and Chef Jam. However, there are a variety of other things going…
Although I’m looking forward to going on vacation, I’m disappointed that I’ll not only miss Saturday’s Sketch Crawl, but also the DJ Kishka Polka Happy Hour AND Rare Birds shows this Friday at The Happy Dog. The Happy Dog is worth a future blog post all its own for…

As mentioned in my last post about the Great Lakes Theatre Festival, one of the things I love about Cleveland is the quality of the performing arts that can be found here. However, the city also demonstrates excellence in other areas besides theatre. It not only hosts the world-famous Cleveland Orchestra, but is also home to a…
Before I moved to Cleveland, I worked for a couple of theatres in Philly. I enjoyed it a lot — working in subscriptions and marketing departments and working backstage on a show for a year. Even when I stopped being involved, I still loved experiencing Philly’s vibrant theatre community and the shows…
