I need to start this week off by saying thanks. Thanks to everyone who sold out PlayhouseSquare’s Jump Back Ball. Whether you bought a ticket or helped spread the word on your blog/other social media or the old-fashioned way, thanks! A huge thank you, in particular, to the Jump Back Ball Committee’s Ticketing…
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:…
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…
With a $32 million “Power of 3″ fundraising campaign and a renovation project that’s been going on for a year, Cleveland Play House opened its doors to the public this month with Bertolt Brecht’s The Life of Galileo. A couple days before seeing the show last week, I got to take a…
One of my favorite summer series – PlayhouseSquare’s Cinema at the Square – starts up tonight with King Kong.

When I sat down to write this post I realized it’s been a few months since I blogged about a play (last time was my review of Cleveland Play House’s beautiful Legacy of Light). Thanks to a belated anniversary present from Scott, I’m remedying that situation today! As I mentioned when…
I don’t think I’ve ever looked more forward to a 3-day weekend than I am this July 4th holiday. And while it’s partially because I love picnics and July 4th is always full of them, it’s mostly because I need that one extra day to work on my to-do list. I…
Scott and I finally saw Midnight in Paris last week (which hands down deserves its 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes). His mom and sister had been urging me for weeks to see Woody Allen’s latest comedy because like Owen Wilson’s character, I can often be a sucker for nostalgia. From shopping…
As I posted last week, I’m taking the WhyCLE Challenge in May where I’ll be tweeting a daily reason why I love this city. You can follow those reasons and my other tweets @ADHicken. I’ll also be recapping these reasons on my blog each weekend. *** Reasons 7-13 to love…
It’s time to announce the winner of the PlayhouseSquare Mini Golf Par-Tee giveaway! After placing all of the entries into an Excel document to separate blog post pingbacks from actual entries … …and then using random.org to pick our winner: I am happy to announce that entry 32 – Mike – has…
