#cbks

In the next few months I will point out some of Cleveland best kept secrets starting with it’s biggest secret. That it is a  couldron of talent across all cultural fields. A pure training community that has created talents of all kinds from astronuts to chefs the talent is here.

A look at Hollywood history to see the Cleveland talent on the big screen,  a look thru history you will find Clevelanders in major roles, the first  Millioniares of  this countrys Industrail revolution called Cleveland home.

I will point out little known places that have been the training ground for all this talent. As well as show you why it has been and still is The best location in the nation.

First the art community there are a large number of theaters in the city. This one is just the baby of the city just reaching the fifty year mark this years, Makes itm my first #cbks.

As I look back at how many years, I have been operating lights the years seems to run together, I have been at East Cleveland Theater for the last twenty-five plus years.  And it has been a major part of me most my life. I have seen Three Theater Directors work hard to keep the Theater going and this has not been easy with shrinking funds and shrinking volunteer force.  Match this with a membership that is getting older it is a wonder ECT is still here many of the small theaters have closed. Blessed ECT has survived and a new generation of theater performers is here totally dedicated to the craft and the mission. I have been blessed too, having worked with some of this city’s   most talented Actors, Actress, Directors and Musicians over the many years. I have watched children grow and mature at the theater. I have watched Actors   first time on stage go from knowing nothing to commanding the stage like they own it.

This is a small sample of my years here at ECT.
