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…
Although Jump Back Ball has sold out, the work has just begun for PlayhouseSquare Partners. One reason I love Jump Back Ball is that even before Scott and I get to party on February 25th, we’re having fun throughout February at Jump Back Ball Shop Nights. Shop Nights are a unique opportunity to get…
I need to start this week off by saying thanks. Thanks to everyone who sold out PlayhouseSquare’s Jump Back Ball. Whether you bought a ticket or helped spread the word on your blog/other social media or the old-fashioned way, thanks! A huge thank you, in particular, to the Jump Back Ball Committee’s Ticketing…
Today is part 2 in my blog series “The Art of Engagement” (your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you; I slightly changed the name), which takes a look at Cleveland theatres and the different ways they engage their audiences. If you want to catch up, check out last week’s post which…

I wanted to begin 2012 refreshed so Scott and I are taking a road trip to Austin to see two of our favorite Clevelanders. While we’re in the live music capital of the world, I leave you in the very capable hands of a few local bloggers I enjoy. And…
A triple murder and assassination attempt may not be the first things that come to mind when I think about the holidays. However, the world premiere of Ken Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot (or Holmes for the Holidays) at Cleveland Play House is a hilarious, quirky and thrilling alternative to your standard holiday entertainment. The Game’s Afoot opens with a performance of one of…
Each year, holiday preparations seem to start earlier and earlier (I was floored when I saw Christmas decorations on some shelves before Halloween). But although I’m not quite ready to bust out the decorations, I think it’s never too early to start planning my gift giving, as well as my own wishlist. Last…
A couple months ago at PlayhouseSquare’s Young Professionals Movie Night, I was happy to join my fellow Jump Back Ball co-chair Meredith in announcing the theme of this year’s Jump Back Ball: Jump Back Through the Looking Glass The planning has been amping up since then — as we recreate the whimsical world of…
