I’ve written a lot over the last season about the changes going on at Cleveland Play House this season – from their move downtown to their increased dedication to audience engagement. It’s been an exciting ride seeing a theatre that’s almost 100 years old not be content to rest on its laurels and…
Earlier this week, I had to bring into work a photo from my childhood. As I was looking through the box of family photos in my bedroom closet, I found this one: And seeing it made me question where that carefree kid went. I can be so focused on whatever tasks I’m juggling that it’s…
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…
A bit of blog-keeping: I meant to post this earlier in the week, but life ran away from me and I’m a little behind on the blog. So, come back next Friday for part 3 of the Art of Engagement to learn about how Great Lakes Theater is engaging Northeast Ohio audiences and a…

When it comes to Cleveland success stories, the tale behind Jakprints is one of my favorites (here’s an article I love from last year’s Cleveland Scene). From seeing the need fellow musicians had for printed materials to developing a company that Harvard called one of “the top 100 U.S. companies…
If you were to ask me what my favorite ‘Saturday morning’ activity is in Cleveland, I’d be hardpressed to pick just one. However, if I was really forced to, I would have to go with visiting Ohio City. The Westside Market is swarming with activity and in general the neighborhood is filled with great people-watching…
After Saturday’s 5K, this past weekend had another “first” for me. Fortunately, it was a much more leisurely kind of “first” – my first visit to Blossom Music Festival. On Sunday evening the Cleveland Orchestra had a “Meet the Musicians” night for media and bloggers followed by a concert of Bruckner’s…
