Concert: Home for the Holidays (for Vets)
by Andrew Lipian 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

*CONCERT: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS (FOR VETS) * What: A benefit concert for Vets who lost/need homes When: Wed, Dec 23, 2020 at 6:30pm Where: The 600 block of Garford Ave in Elyria, OH, 44035 Tickets: N/A -- accepting at-will donations As Menorah candles flicker in frosted windowpanes and merrymakers dress their Christmas trees, it's easy to forget that not all are so fortunate to have a home for the holidays. Severely injured post-9/11 veterans need homes with special accommodations, and some have lost their homes in disasters. One veteran in particular, from the Ohio Air National Guard (OANG), lost his home in a fire around Thanksgiving of this year. This prompted fellow-Guardsman Andrew Lipian to find a way to deliver much-needed aid. Lipian - an accomplished singer noted locally for live-streamed "Porch Morale" Concerts, directing musical theater productions, etc - contacted colleagues of his in Cleveland who expressed a desire to assist. The result: "Home for the Holidays: A Concert for our Vets." Lipian is turning his Garage into a live stage, with Christmas decor, first-rate sound provided by technician Yevgen Gulenko, and lighting effects. The concert will feature Holiday classics such as Believe (from the Polar Express), Blue Christmas, White Christmas, We Need a Little Christmas, O Holy Night, and others. Listeners can join via YouTube Live-Stream, listen in-person by parallel parking, or listen from the sidewalk using decorative chalk-markings for social-distancing. At-will donations can be made on-site beside a warm fire, with special treats provided by Expresso Bakery -- a sponsor of the event. Other sponsors include Fischer and Associates Architects Inc. Parties interested in assisting in any way can contact Andrew Lipian at homefortheholidays(a)mail.com * GoFundMe link to donate: gofundme.com/f/gofundmecomhome-for-holidaysvets *YouTube Live-Stream Link on GoFundMe, or by searching "Home for the Holidays: A Concert for Our Vets" in the search bar on Youtube. * Features Andrew Lipian, Julie Gulenko, Michael Jeffrey Lucas, and a special visit from Santa! See you there! -- *Andrew Lipian* www.andrewlipian.com *Fiat Justitia, Ruat Caelum.*

by Fred Sternfeld 18 Dec '20

There is quite a bit of buzz about Bob Abelman’s hilarious new fictional memoir “All the World’s a Stage Fright: Misadventures of a Clandestine Critic.” Here is what a few locals have to say: *“*’Stage Fright’ offers a rare, first-person peek into the mind of a theater critic with humor that pours from every page.” ~Nathan Motta, Artistic Director, Dobama Theatre “I literally couldn’t stop smiling. ‘All the World’s a Stage Fright’ is a valentine and Abelman’s unfailing love of Cleveland theater comes through loud and clear.” ~Vicky Bussert, Director of Music Theatre, Baldwin Wallace University "Fast, punchy and funny. Combines a warm-hearted comic look at the terrors of creation with nuggets of history and context. It's one of those rare escapist reads where you come out a bit smarter than you went in." ~Eric Coble, playwright NEohioPAL gets a $5 donation for each purchase of this $14.95 book to help it remain a free and vibrant resource for the local theater community.
