LIFE SUCKS @ Dobma
by Roy Berko 30 Apr '22

30 Apr '22

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: Several years-ago I ended my review of Dobama’s production of Posner’s STUPID F**KING BIRD with the comment: “As a person present at the very start of Dobama, I would say that Donald Bianchi, the theater’s founder, would approve and be delighted that ‘his’ theater is still fulfilling ‘his’ dream.” For LIFE SUCKS, I conclude: “Ditto!” My recommendation? Go, see, enjoy, participate! Applause, applause!To read the entire review go to: https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ <https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/> To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/>••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Spring Bulb Fundraiser to Raise Money to Bring FREE Arts programming to Greater Cleveland
by Margaret Reardon 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Thank you for your interest in supporting PRISM: Education and Enrichment Through the Arts, an initiative dedicated to offering free arts- based programming across age groups, income levels and arts disciplines with a special focus on the underserved and the marginalized. What do PRISM programs look like? Here are some examples: • Free concerts at community centers for all ages • Free creative writing programs for seniors to keep them sharp and connected • Free programs in the schools to enhance curriculum • Free story hours in preschools • Free activities for the differently abled • Free programming of all kinds for people emerging from trauma And as everyone on this list knows, it's crucial the artists and educators who create and present these programs be appropriately compensated, and the funds raised will be used for that purpose. The more we raise the more we can do together, and the faster all our pandemic hit bank accounts in the arts community can be replenished as well. Browse the selections here and place your orders my May 15th and feel free to share | | | | | Margaret Reardon Margaret Reardon Marketing LLC | | | | | 440-292-7739 | | | margaret(a)margaretreardonmarketing.com | | | | www.margaretreardonmarketing.com | | |
