This coming Fall, the Cleveland Play House will be making a huge move from its home for the last 84 years at 8500 Euclid Avenue to PlayhouseSquare’s newly transformed Allen Theatre. The year-long, $30 million-plus transformation of the historic movie palace just hit its halfway point earlier this month. And…
As I mentioned in my last post, this week’s Twitter Twenty question was “What Does Spring Mean for You?” and over the last couple of days, I’ve been thinking about it a lot. More than anything else, the return of my favorite Cleveland sport means Spring is officially here for…
Last week Scott and I saw My Name is Asher Lev at The Cleveland Play House, which used a three person cast playing multiple characters to tell an intimate story about a man’s struggle between his Hasidic roots and the Manhattan art world. Another show on stage right now in Cleveland…
The last time I posted, I had been rushing out the door to finish getting ready for Saturday night’s Jump Back Ball. I pretty much had been looking forward to PlayhouseSquare’s annual benefit since I first read about it last year — so when I walked in the doors of the theatre,…
In a couple hours, a year’s worth of planning comes together and Jump Back Ball 20 gets underway. Needless to say, I’ve been counting down the days over the last week as we got closer to today – making sure I had everything I needed, doublechecking I hadn’t lost my tickets, and…

With Clevelanders having an Iron Chef and James Beard nominees and winners in their backyard (among numerous other accolades), there’s really no excuse to not have a good meal. And it’s about more than just the food, a lot of times it’s the experience of the restaurant that makes the evening – be it…
With only one week until set up day for Jump Back Ball, saying it’s crunch time would be an understatement. Over the last month, members of Partners have met a couple times each week in the Hanna Building, putting together the decorations for the event. Since the first Shop Night…
So much has been written about the concept of home and what it means to each person. For me, it’s a place where I feel both comfortable and challenged, and I’ve spent the last 10 or so years trying to find that place. I lived in other cities before…
A couple people have asked about how to get tickets now that Jump Back Ball has sold out. Although the only tickets I have are the two @ScottHicken and I will be using, Metromix Cleveland and wkyc are sponsoring a contest where two winners will get a pair of tickets…
