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…
I came to the sad conclusion a while ago that I’m incapable of exploring everything in Northeast Ohio. Case in point, I was really disappointed to have to miss the Geneva Ice Wine Festival this past weekend (and the coming weekend since I’m going to be in Chicago for this).…
Religion and art can simultaneously be two of the most unifying and polarizing topics between people. This is because – unlike other heated subjects such as politics or your favorite sports team – the two have become about much more than beliefs and opinions. They’ve seen entire cultures and ways…
If you’ve been following @TwestivalCLE, you’ll know it’s been a really busy week for the coordinating team as we unveiled our new logo (courtesy of Casual Images Graphic Design!), announced the Cleveland charity that will benefit from the March 24th event and got the ticket and donation sites up…
One of the things I enjoy about Clue Into Cleveland is when someone offers to share their CLE experiences with me. So, when my friend Elizabeth asked if she could write about the Botanical Garden’s Orchid Mania show, I immediately said yes. You may remember Elizabeth from her previous Clue Into Cleveland contributions: People-Watching Spots in Coventry and Celebrating…
One year ago yesterday I started Clue Into Cleveland. I’m both a little surprised and proud of myself for keeping this up for twelve months.

Now that Jump Back Ball is done for the year and I don’t have shop nights to attend or an outfit to throw together, you’d think I’d take a break and relax. You’d be wrong. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be happy to be helping @KaseyCrabtree and @KimiKay…
I don’t really consider myself very good at producing art. Sure, I enjoy sketching and painting, but my ability there is pretty limited. And if you get me near any sort of craft that demands a lot of physical dexterity, I’m often defeated by an innate clumsiness. Understanding how much talent and skill is…
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…
