With a name like “the Vibrator Play” one can’t help but have some bubbling expectations as they take their seat at Cleveland Play House’s latest production. Is it a bawdy tale of lust and love? A stark look at humanity’s primal urges? An expose on 1950s horror movie gimmicks? And how important was that ‘mature […]
Remember: Only 2 days left to enter the Fashion Week Cleveland VIP giveaway – good luck! With trips, upcoming weddings and the like, my wallet’s been strapped a bit lately. So I’m always on the lookout for inexpensive, if not free, things to do around town. Although I’m out of town this weekend, there’s a free […]
The Clue Into Cleveland giveaway to attend Fashion Week Cleveland ends this Friday. Enter here today! April may already be halfway over, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty of time to get out and do something (or 10 things) fun this month. I have to second Poise in Parma, who recently posted her […]
I just got back from our annual weekend of comic book epicness in Chicago, only to drive to Connecticut in 3 days for wedding #4 of the year (congratulations, Graham and Aubrey!). However, there’s no rest for the weary (seriously! I’m writing this at 3am) because I have a really fun giveaway to share today: Last week I hinted at […]

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…
Those who know me off-blog know that I can be a competitive person. Maybe not as competitive as Mad Men’s favorite copywriter Peggy (who was described in last week’s episode as so competitive she “races people to the toilet”), but when it comes to a person or place I’m proud of, my competitive streak can quickly […]
Selecting shows is a challenge theatres face every season. While the process includes seeing and reading the productions they’re considering, it’s not always fun and games. A season needs to be built from scratch that speaks to the theatre’s entire audience while embracing their mission. PlayhouseSquare makes it seem effortless, though, when you look at their just-announced KeyBank Broadway…
The Clue Into Cleveland giveaway to win two tickets to Market at the Foodbank ends this Thursday. Enter here for a chance to attend Harvest for Hunger’s annual benefit. When it’s cold, gray and wet outside, there’s nothing that lifts my spirit like seeing a movie. Bundling up and heading to a theatre so I can be whisked […]
