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…
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. Before this blog, I had had Livejournal and Blogger sites, but they were personal blogs and after a few months my interest in them would wane. I had partially…
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…
… A look back at last weekend’s Parade the Circle, BRRG and Chef Jam 2010 … One of my goals when I started this blog was to highlight a variety of the places and events that can be found in Cleveland. And I hope that I’ve made some progress in…

Although I’m looking forward to going on vacation, I’m disappointed that I’ll not only miss Saturday’s Sketch Crawl, but also the DJ Kishka Polka Happy Hour AND Rare Birds shows this Friday at The Happy Dog. The Happy Dog is worth a future blog post all its own for…
Each month, the Cleveland Sketch Crawl provides artists, photographers, and sketching enthusiasts of all skill levels with the opportunity to get out in the city, learn about Cleveland and draw some really amazing stuff. The first Sketch Crawl I attended was in April at the Carnegie West Library. Unfortunately, due to…
Why do we love to be told stories? This past Sunday, actor John Lithgow returned to the Great Lakes Theater Festival for a performance of “Stories by Heart” which examines why people are entranced by listening to — and in some cases, telling — stories. Both a former member of GLTF and the son…
I know that my last couple of posts have been focused on some of the theatre and music that can be experienced in Cleveland. I’ll be the first to admit that I have a soft spot for the arts, and am finishing up my next post which takes a look at John Lithgow’s performance of ‘Stories by Heart’ for the Great Lakes…
