Broadway in Cincinnati presents: The Illusionists
We went to an “epic” magic show tonight at the Aronoff Center, called The Illusionists. I use the word epic because I was with two young gents who used that very word. I cannot remember the last time I heard my boys laugh harder than they did tonight. Not only were our minds blown by...
Smale Riverfront Park
Have you had a chance to visit the Smale Riverfront Park in Downtown Cincinnati yet? This sprawling park along the waters of the Ohio river is a wonderland for kids…and parents too quite honestly. I had as much fun as them exploring the new additions to the park. There are climbing walls, huge slides, larger...
I Love Lucy® Live on Stage at the Aronoff Center
Confession: I grew up with a love for old movies and tv shows. I LOVED the classics. On the weekends we’d go to our local video store and get some old classic movies and shows on VHS…yes, that long ago. I am a huge fan of I Love Lucy…it’s hilarious! I’ve failed as a...

The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Presents ‘Hamlet’
Most of us HAD to read some Shakespeare in High School, some of us grudgingly, and some willingly. I was one of the folks that actually enjoyed reading Shakespeare’s works in school, so I was happy to hear that the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company was going to bring Hamlet to their stage, and even more ecstatic...
