Precarious
In this week’s issue:No matter what they say, this is an exquisite, precarious time of year in NEO. You have to get out of the house, and you have to know where to go. Hence, all the links below. Read the profile of Ensemble Theatre, then buy a ticket. Check out Red Dot Gallery’s new online gallery and go out and see some art. Mansfield brags about the safest place in all Cleveland, and gives us a heads up on African fiddlers you can go out and see. And speaking of links, our new winner Patty Quiñónez won $250 just for clicking on CoolCleveland.com. That doesn’t sound risky at all.–Thomas Mulready
The Precarious Nature of Our Lives
Red Dot Project’s new online gallery
Endure, the first on-line gallery event from RED DOT Project, features abiding works on canvas by Robert L. Stockham, durable metal jewelry by Qandle Qadir and steadfast metal-tiled collages by Chris Zielski.
The physical opening of the show was hosted by environments 4 business in their 515 Euclid Avenue store on February 11th, the modern office furnishings in their showroom were an appropriate back drop for showcasing these original pieces.
Ironically, this brief, one-evening showing was the kick off for the on-line gallery exhibit named Endure!
The name of the exhibit is a reaction to the fast-paced and precarious nature of our lives…

Latest Prize Awarded in ClickToWIN Contest
Winner chooses cash, of course…
When we emailed winner Patty Quiñónez to tell her she won her choice of either $250 cash or a new iPhone (value $199), she wrote back with this exclamation: “YEPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! YEPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WON! I WON!!! I WON!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! I will take the CA$H!! :-)”
Since Patty is a financial planner, we expected her to do the math and ask for the $250, but we couldn’t get her to tell us what she plans to do with her winnings. We’re guessing mutual funds and maybe some Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. ‘Cause everyone knows inflation is coming…
Watch the video of Patty’s award, and then get busy because we are upping our next award to $300 smackeroos.

It’s Not Just an Ensemble–It’s a Family
Keeping the Artistic Vision Alive
For decades, when Cleveland theatergoers thought about Ensemble Theatre, they thought about its founder and Artistic Director, Lucia Colombi. She was part of a trio of talented siblings–older brother Chris, an actor and director, and twin sister Licia, a director and dramaturg–who made their passion for live theater a lifelong pursuit.
Lucia was so closely tied to Ensemble’s identity that when she passed away in January 2009, there was serious doubt as to whether the theater would survive.
In the words of Lucia’s widow, Martin Cosentino, “That thought was never far from our mind, especially immediately after Lucia passed away. We had hoped Licia’s love for the theatre would be enough for her to take her sister’s place. We had already cancelled the two remaining plays of the season. But when Licia was taken ill in April and passed away in her sleep in early May, it was all we could do to even think about theater. It was just a time to grieve and stay close…”

The Safest Place in Cleveland
Plus, Stupid Black Folks, and more…
I just returned from a place where you can completely relax, where you can walk around without fear of being accosted
even with hundred dollar bills just hanging out of your pocket or purse. I know, I know, you think I must be smoking my underwear
taking hits on a bong filled with the type of grass you cant legally grow on the front lawn.
But no, I wasnt visiting some drug-induced utopia of my imagination, nor was I in some jack-booted state like Singapore where citizens can receive 30 lashes for so much as dropping a gum wrapper on the street I was right here in the good ol U.S. of A., in Cleveland in fact.
The only prerequisite for receiving such protection is that your name has to be
Wahl Marte, Bess Bye, or Homey Despot. In other words, you have to be located in that placid and safe commons known by the name of Steelyard…

Così fan tutte is Glorious
You expect sublime and thats what you get
‘Women may indeed be like that’ according to Mozart’s comic opera Cosi fan tutte, but only because boys will be boys! Ample evidence of that is demonstrated in this lively, very physical production, which was transplanted (more or less) from Zurich Opera to the stage of Severance Hall.
Opening night was Tue 3/2 and there are three more performances to come. Sat 3/6 is already sold out, so don’t dawdle! Thu 3/4 and Mon 3/8 may still have some seats…

Out of the Musical Closet
Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty I’m free at last to come out of the musical closet and profess my love of banjo and fiddle music that most blacks think is the sole province of white Appalachian bluegrass pickers … but it’s really not.
An almost forgotten part of American history is that while segregation and slavery was the law of the land, black and white musicians in the south developed, and together played, a style of music that coupled Celtic reels with the African rhythms slaves brought to this country with them and first played on their homemade string gourds.
Later they would become first-rate fiddlers…

Gund Grant to City Schools – Such An Irony
Plus, Dodgers Move & Ratner Arrival – Which Worse Brooklyn?
Think of the irony of it. The Gund Foundation is giving the Cleveland schools $2.5 million of dollars, according to a Page one story this week in the Plain Dealer. Isnt it ironic – or at amusing – or a dime on a dollar – that the Gund family took MANY millions FROM the citys schools.
The Gunds were big property tax evaders.
Yes, it is a good move for the Gund Foundation to give $2.5 million with a promise of more. We should applaud for it. But lets not get teary eyed.
It is so much as how the world works.
The rich get richer and they bequeath tax-free pennies from those they took…

We heart Cool Cleveland That was a GREAT Bird Town piece in the latest Cool Cleveland. We need more neighborhoods to do this type of planning AND we need this type of planning to be KNOWN that it’s happening by the Greater Cleveland population. Thank you Cool Cleveland for posting it. Kudos to the developers of that plan and the documentors to create such an interesting outline. I live South, in Brecksville, and only a bit familiar with that area, but I would really WANT that area to improve – for those residents, for future residents and for the Greater Cleveland area as a whole. Wouldn’t a domino effect be awesome!
