[NEohioPAL] World Premiere of CLEVELAND HEIGHTS: Pre-Performance Talks Bridge Fiction and Reality

[Anita Tucker]

"CLEVELAND HEIGHTS offers a window into the life of the Jewish experience of
our area. Yet it also provides a teachable moment to examine larger issues
that affect us all, particularly the flight of businesses and money." -
Heights Observer

With staggering relevance to the turbulence of our current economy,

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS is a universal story of how families can be affected by
the stresses of financial pressures. It is also a familiar Cleveland story
of a Jewish family who flees Europe and builds a business in an American
city poised for growth, only to see its legacy threatened by the boom and
bust cycles of American industry. Above all, CLEVELAND HEIGHTS is a story of
hope and a reminder that while economic struggles may challenge us, the
strength and security of family and community triumph and endure.
