With the holidays in full swing, I’m taking a vacation from blogging for two weeks so that I can unwind, catch up on things and do a little roadtripping. While I’m gone, two friends of Clue Into Cleveland will be guest blogging. Elizabeth Grepp returns to Clue Into Cleveland after sharing her…
Whenever I walk into Reddstone, I always feel like I’m stopping by a party at a neighbor’s house. Of course, that neighbor lives 30 minutes from my house and Reddstone is actually a snazzy restaurant-bar located in the Gordon Square Arts District. But, it’s that feeling of being able to comfortably hang out with…
My first inclination when Great Lakes Theater Festival announced their Fall Repertory of Othello and An Ideal Husband was to focus on the differences between the two plays. The first is a tragic, psychological, Shakespearean thriller. The second, a witty “social comedy” by Oscar Wilde. However, after seeing the second half of the Fall Rep when…
I’m often looking for ways to get involved in an event beyond the basic experience. For me, I find that doing instead of attending has always led to a more enriching and enjoyable experience. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy the Cleveland Sketch Crawl. It allows me to get…
When I was in college and prone to going out to all hours of the night, I’d look forward to Friday like many students because it meant the weekend (and its subsequent parties) had arrived. Of course, how I kicked off the weekend back then was a lot different than how I like…
This past Saturday, Great Lakes Theater Festival opened its 49th season with Shakespeare’s psychological thriller Othello. Needless to say, I’ve been looking forward to the return of GLTF since the Spring Rep’s productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Bat Boy; my first Shakespearean tragedy at GLTF did not disappoint. This intense…
With the opening night of Othello and the Botanical Garden’s RIPE Festival, there’s a lot to write about this weekend. Regardless, though, I wanted to quickly post about my visit to IngenuityFest on Saturday afternoon. This weekend, IngenuityFest returned for its yearly celebration of art and technology in Cleveland. The last time I…
September through December is hands down my favorite time of year in Cleveland. The air is brisk, crisp, and still bearable; there’s usually not too much snow; and the changing of the leaves reflected off the always-beautiful lake is an amazing site. If that weren’t enough, it’s also when my trifecta of favorite holidays…
UPDATE: The 2011 Sparx City Hop takes place on Sept. 10, 2011. More info about the 2011 neighborhood hop can be found on Downtown Cleveland Alliance’s website. Read on for a review of last year’s Sparx City Hop. Saturday was the Sparx City Hop. As I mentioned last week, I headed down…
Earlier today, I wrote about this Friday’s Shore Cultural Collective Concert in downtown Euclid. Tonight, I wanted to focus on another arts-related event this weekend – the 2010 Sparx City Hop. On Saturday from 11am – 11pm, the Downtown Cleveland Alliance will host the Sparx City Hop festival throughout downtown Cleveland and its…
