Another week is almost done – what are you doing this weekend? If you don’t have plans, a slate of festivals have you covered from the east to westsides. Get out this weekend (bring a water bottle – it’s going to be hot) and experience the unique art and entertainment our…
When I compare it to other theatres, what sets Cleveland Public Theatre apart is that I never know what to expect when I walk in their doors. When I see a show there, I get the same on-edge excitement as when I stick my hand into a mystery box at a…
Before I start today’s post, I wanted to take a moment and encourage everyone to contribute to the Chardon Healing Fund. 100 percent of the money raised will help those in the community directly affected by the random and devastating violence from earlier this week. Donations can be made at any PNC Bank branch…
Over the last month, I’ve enjoyed blogging about one of my favorite topics: Cleveland theatre. Specifically, highlighting what a few of our local theatres are doing to engage more diverse audiences and help members of the community explore a deeper relationship with the performing arts. I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about local enrichment programs along the way […]
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…
As I mentioned in my last post, I had been feeling a little down earlier this week – overwhelmed and definitely not in the holiday spirit. So, in hopes of brightening my mood and forcing myself to forget about the holidays for a few minutes, I made plans for dinner with an old…
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…
When I’m thinking of checking out a new store or need help making a decision between two restaurants, one of my first stops is Yelp. I even used it this past weekend when I was out of town and needed the address of a diner in Philly. I’ll admit, though, it’s a love affair from…
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…
