I think seeing Frost Nixon would be really cool. I grew up in that era. My brother (who is older and really remembers all of it) wants to see it also - so I think I would take him. I love the theater very much. We come as ofter as poss. Which is hard with the lack of money these days. thanks for giving tickets to people who cant alwways afford them.
Plot: An isolated English country house. A rainy night. Love, lust, jealousy, greed, revenge. Who is killing whom? For whom? And who is whom, anyway? Rupert Holmes' (THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD) audacious twist on the twisted mystery plot is a plot within a plot within a play within a plot. Or is it a play within a plot within a plot within a play... or is it... Oh, just give up on guessing and enjoy this wickedly funny ride! It would be a crime to miss it! (Not recommended for children. )

Avidly involved in Cleveland's artscape for more than 10 years, Bob Peck's street art background continues to influence his work today. Recording our city with movement and texture, Bob paints surreal landscapes by layering spray enamel and acrylic paints. Creating gestural abstractions, he brings reflections of the past and present to his canvases. Nostalgic and diffused, these still lives offer an expression of connection and kinship to his surroundings.
"They Never Saw It Coming" chronicles the expansion of Bob's portfolio, from adolescence and adulthood. This transcension of work exhibits the artist's talents and progression from his early graffiti work to current fine art pieces. Opening reception 7-10 pm Friday, 20 June 2008

I really enjoyed the show The Gamblers. It is an awesome show. The cast created a spark of pure energy on the stage and through out their performance. They all did an extraordinary job well done. Terry Cranendonk is an amazing star performer and so as all the rest.
