With a $32 million “Power of 3″ fundraising campaign and a renovation project that’s been going on for a year, Cleveland Play House opened its doors to the public this month with Bertolt Brecht’s The Life of Galileo. A couple days before seeing the show last week, I got to take a…
In another life long long ago (err, 6 years ago) and far far away (Philly), I used to work in theatre. Specifically, marketing, sales and a little bit of backstage production work (random factoid #352: I worked backstage on this show for almost 2 years when it was in Philadelphia). So when Fall rolls around, I get excited…
One of my favorite summer series – PlayhouseSquare’s Cinema at the Square – starts up tonight with King Kong. As much I enjoy spending the warm-weather months outdoors, sometimes I like escaping into the air conditioning, curling up in a theatre seat and getting engrossed in a movie. And when it’s a classic film —…
Last week, I posted about my first trip to Blossom Music Festival to see the Cleveland Orchestra. I don’t know what took me so long to get out to the summer concert hotspot, but Scott and I tried to make up for lost time by paying it a return visit this past weekend. In addition…
When I sat down to write this post I realized it’s been a few months since I blogged about a play (last time was my review of Cleveland Play House’s beautiful Legacy of Light). Thanks to a belated anniversary present from Scott, I’m remedying that situation today! As I mentioned when…
Scott and I finally saw Midnight in Paris last week (which hands down deserves its 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes). His mom and sister had been urging me for weeks to see Woody Allen’s latest comedy because like Owen Wilson’s character, I can often be a sucker for nostalgia. From shopping…
It’s time for Clue Into Cleveland’s first giveaway — and what better way to kick it off than with a PlayhouseSquare Partners-related prize? As I blogged last Friday, the young professionals group at PlayhouseSquare is hosting our 2nd Annual Mini Golf Par-Tee on Tuesday, May 17th. From 5:30 – 8 pm, you can…
… May’s a busy month at PlayhouseSquare with Partners’ Mini Golf Par-Tee and the week-long International Children’s Festival … Although the next PlayhouseSquare Partners’ Jump Back Ball is almost a year away, the young professionals group is busy hosting a number of other great, upcoming events for Cleveland. While some…
Over the last six months, my husband Scott and I have discussed starting a family. And as any couple newly setting down this path, the standard questions have arisen: Are we financially stable enough to have kids? Will we be good parents? Is it going to be possible to balance our…
In the Great Lakes Theater Festival’s last production, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), there is a bit where the performers combine the plots from all of the Bard’s comedies into one madcap, convoluted reading. The justification is that all of his comedies recycle the same plot devices. And with the prevalence of cross-dressing, mis-matched, young lovers in his…
