10 years of Cleveland Asian Festival
by Johnny Wu 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

If anyone interested, join us to celebrate our 10 years. Be a sponsor, vendor, perform, compete, health pavilion, or advertise in our program booklet. 10 Years of Cleveland Asian Festival February 8, 2019 admin 0 Comment News For Immediate Release February 8, 2019 Cleveland, OH – When the volunteer founders of the Cleveland Asian Festival created the event ten years ago their main goals were to showcase Asian culture and promote the AsiaTown neighborhood of Cleveland. Now ten years later the Cleveland Asian Festival has become an annual engine of economic growth for the area. While it was expected that the Cleveland Asian Festival (CAF) would celebrate diversity and Asian culture in Northeast Ohio it would have been hard to predict its impact on the resurgence of and growth in Cleveland’s AsiaTown community. Johnny Wu, one of three CAF founders, says “It has been an honor to serve and help this festival grow. The festival’s reach goes beyond the weekend as many attendees continue to visit AsiaTown throughout the year.” Before the Cleveland Asian Festival, what has now become the popular and vibrant AsiaTown was unknown to most outside the area. But with tens of thousands being introduced to AsiaTown through the Cleveland Asian Festival each year the neighborhood has been a popular destination year-round. The Cleveland Asian Festival has been an economic engine for AsiaTown with 35,000 to 50,000 attendees each year and millions spent in the neighborhood. Look for a special Cleveland Asian Festival this year as the 10-year anniversary is celebrated. Johnny Wu adds, “CAF is now a decade in the making. We are very proud and excited.” About the 2019 Cleveland Asian Festival The Cleveland Asian Festival is an annual celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage month in May in Cleveland’s AsiaTown neighborhood. The Cleveland Asian Festival is a landmark undertaking to unite the community through collaboration and recognition of its culture, diversity, and people. The 2019 Cleveland Asian Festival will be held May 18 and 19, 2019 from 11am to 7pm on Payne Ave. between E. 30th St & E. 27th S.

by Roy Berko 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: The Beck Center/Baldwin Wallace Music Theatre Program production of “Once,” is vibrant, and has talent overload. This production rivals the Broadway staging and is much superior to the touring show which was part of the Key Bank Series. It’s the kind of production that you might be tempted to go back and see again! Go. You will enjoy!* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Review of "Once" at the Beck Center for the Arts
by Bob Abelman 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

‘Once’ at the Beck Center entrances but does not transport Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal “Once” is a romantic piece of storytelling so unassuming that “Once upon a time” is too pretentious a preamble. And its melancholic tale of star-crossed love is so universal that the young, working-class dreamers at its center are identified only as “Guy” and “Girl.” Based on the 2007 Indie movie by John Carney, this multiple Tony Award-winning musical composed by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova revolves around a disheartened young street musician who is grieving over the loss of a girl, the lack of commercial prospects for his folk-rock songwriting, and the isolation of living with his Da above their tiny repair shop in Dublin, Ireland. The show opens with him singing one of his gorgeous, angst-filled Irish anthems, throwing away his guitar pick when the song is through, and walking away from his guitar and his music forever. That is, until he is stopped in his tracks by a young Czech immigrant who is so blindly optimistic about his potential that she reinstates his passion for music and is so absolutely adorable that he rediscovers love. But they are unable to act on their feelings toward each other because she is married to a man no longer in her heart and he is still connected to the woman who left. What makes “Once” more than just another romantic tale of despondency is the absolutely charming way the story is told. Its creators threw away the elaborate production values they did not need and amplified the theatricality in everything they did.
