APPLAUSE, the Emmy Award-winning production of WVIZ/PBS ideastreamsm
hosted by Dee Perry spotlights Northeast Ohio's rich arts and cultural

Sunday, April 9, 1pm)

In an exclusive interview, APPLAUSE host Dee Perry talks with Timothy
Rub, the Cleveland Museum of Art's newly appointed executive director,
about his decision to take the Cleveland position, featuring news on his
plans for the Museum. In another program segment, acoustic guitarist
Doug Wood was recently recorded performing in Idea Center's newly
appointed KeyBank studio. Wood, a popular performer on the college
circuit, combines the subtleties of folk and jazz music with the
intensity of acoustic rock.  And, Dr. Henry Adams, professor at Case

Design," joins Dee Perry for a conversation about the largest exhibition
in history organized in celebration of Schreckengost's 100th birthday
this year.

>From 1942 to 1945, Cleveland Institute of Art graduate Don Allen was
much sought after by U.S. fighter pilots to create airplane nose art -
the genre of painting used to decorate combat aircraft. Allen joins Dee
Perry for an extraordinary perspective on World War II, and a look at
the artist's personal war time achievements. In another program segment,
the Alcazar hotel, a Cleveland Heights landmark dating back to 1923,
gets special APPLAUSE treatment as Sandra Martin, manager of the
historic hotel takes viewers on a behind-the-scenes tour. Included in
the commentary are stories from the establishment's long history of
service to entertainment and other luminaries, and a "who's who" list of
Alcazar guests. "SLAM U!", a workshop and poetry-slam program organized
by the Playhouse Square Center's Arts Education department, has helped
area high school students with speaking and performance skills.  Dee
Perry talks to members of Cleveland's National Youth Poetry Slam team
before they head off to compete in New York City.
