It’s a twister
If you’ve been out of town for the past couple weeks, things have turned upside down. Let’s try to catch you up.
BorderLight Theatre Festival is about to kick off four days and nights of indoor and outdoor theatre and fringe performances the likes of which you probably have never seen. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Dan McCoy has released his 14th album, a Midwest style melange of rock & roll with roots. And like an out-of control tornado, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose may have just purged your name from the voter rolls. But if you act now, you can re-register here. As the national scene spins wildly, we urge you to stay focused on our key local issues and candidates, such as re-electing Senator Sherrod Brown. CoolCleveland columnist C. Ellen Connally met with him last week and tells us how much he needs our help, and how important his re-election is.
Violet Edge, a magazine for Cleveland creative arts, throws themselves a first birthday party and concert. The annual Greek Festival at Sts Constantine and Helen Church has some of the best food you’ll ever taste, plus music, dancing and church tours. Cleveland-born Mary Jo Bole has produced a film about her family’s history that will make it’s Cleveland debut at the Cinematheque. Motorcycle culture is celebrated at Fuel Cleveland. Opera will be heard at the Italian Cultural Garden, polka danced to at the SNPJ Farm in Kirtland, and teens in CPT’s STEP program perform passionately all around the city. It’s enough to make your head swirl.
