WORLD PREMIERE OF “STONE BY STONE” HIGHLIGHTS INLET DANCE THEATRE AND NEHEMIAH 
MISSION FUNDRAISING CONCERT - NOV. 12-13, 2010
 
Sept.22, 2010  – Inlet Dance Theatre and The Nehemiah Mission of Cleveland have 
partnered to offer Stone by Stone, a fundraising concert presented by Patriot 
Security Systems at the Breen Center for the Performing  Arts on the campus of 
St. Ignatius High School, November 12 and 13, 2010 at 8:00 p.m.   Serving as a 
benefit for both not-for-profit organizations, the performance will feature 
exciting works from Inlet’s diverse repertory specifically chosen to reflect 
commonalities between the two organizations’ missions, including the world 
premiere of Stone by Stone by Bill Wade which is inspired by the Biblical story 
of Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem.
 
The organizations discovered their similarities while both enrolled in The 
Cleveland Foundation’s Project Access - a capacity-building program for faith 
and community based not-for-profits.   Jim Szakacs, Executive Director of the 
Nehemiah Mission stated, “while The Nehemiah Mission rebuilds the lives of  the 
physically and fiscally challenged by providing services that improve their 
living environments, Inlet uses dance to bring about personal development 
through training, mentoring, and to speak creatively about life issues.  Since 
we both build community, we felt a concert based on these efforts would inform 
and inspire all who attend.”
Inlet’s performance will feature the world premiere of Stone by Stone - a 
contemporary retelling of the story of Nehemiah that uses the metaphor of stones 
as hindrances for peoples’ quality of life.  The work includes information 
gathered from community members whose lives have been positively impacted by the 
work of The Nehemiah Mission and features a Cleveland-based creative team of 
composer Jeremy Allen, filmmaker Travis Pollert, and lighting designer Trad 
Burns.  Other Inlet pieces in the concert include Ascension, ImPAIRed, Beauty in 
Tension, and The Door by acclaimed choreographer Steve Rooks.
 
The Stone by Stone Fundraising Concert presented by Patriot Security Systems 
takes place on November 12 and 13, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. at the Breen Center for the 
Performing Arts on the campus of St. Ignatius  High School (2008 West 30th   
Street,  Cleveland 44113).  Reserved seating tickets are $30, with limited $60 
VIP tickets that include a post-show reception with the Inlet dancers on 
Friday.  Tickets are available by calling 216.961.6968 or online at 
www.nehemiahmission.org.
