Online, Ohio conjures up the ironically bizarre, soothingly cursed, and stubbornly unexplained. But there’s nothing subtle or lowkey about our region. From snipe hunting in Geauga to a spring cabaret concert by musical upstarts at a church in Pepper Pike. From a cutting-edge concert reinventing the drumline to a jazz album recorded with an orchestra full of local all-stars.
From a new play about squirrels engaging in a battle of haves and have-nots to a Ukrainian folk band undeterred by the Russian invasion. From a panel on women in the film industry to the season opening of an herb farm.
Resistance moves West as the Resistance Fair pops up in Lakewood with 50 activist and social service groups showing how to fight the power. It’s gonna be a banger, Ohio.
