Look Behind the Looking Glass, Part 5: The Finishing Touches

The Day After Tomorrow. Nope, I’m not talking about Roland Emmerich’s ridiculous, end-of-the-world laughfest (I’ll stick to Independence Day, thanks).  I’m referring to Jump Back Ball and the fact that I can’t believe it’s only two days away.    Although I signed on to co-chair this year’s Jump Back Ball last Spring, it feels like we announced the theme and started planning it a mere month ago.  Meredith (my […]

The Art of Engagement, Part 3: Great Lakes Theater

After I moved to Cleveland, the first theatre company I fell in love with was Great Lakes Theater at PlayhouseSquare’s Hanna Theatre. Providing a nice complement to Cleveland Play House’s contemporary plays, GLT most often focuses on classic theatre – having its roots in Shakespeare when John Lithgow’s father helped found it 50 years…

Cirque du Soleil's Dralion and a Valentine's Day Discount

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…

Jump Back Ball 2012, Part 1: A Look Behind the Looking Glass

Before joining PlayhouseSquare Partners, I used to hate this time of year.  I’d get all pumped up by the craziness of the holidays; and then once January hit, it was like popping a balloon…instant deflation as the pace of things abruptly came to a halt. Now this time of year means one thing:…

Ringing in 2012 with Fat Head's Brewery and #TeamSawyer Tweetup Heads Up

I love New Year’s Eve – hanging out with friends, Dick Clark’s admirable tenacity, the anticipation of the countdown. However, when it comes to partying on New Year’s Eve, I prefer a low-key gathering. Last year, we had friends out from Philly and rang in 2011 with a dinner at home that featured some of our…
