Are you still with us? Last weekend’s blast of heat and humidity was enough to melt anyone … or at least drive us all inside. No doubt our summer has more tandoori days in store, but this weekend promises a more merciful climate. That’s good, because there are many outdoor events worth your time in the next seven days. Indoor ones, too, for the once-burned-twice-shy among you.
It’s another busy week in the Queen City, both indoors and out. You have no excuse not to find something completely enlightening, entertaining or both to do. I’ll even give you a head start on planning.
The Cincinnati Debate Society had its first event of the season. College student Jack Mclaughlin and IT specialist Noah Weaver debated the resolve: Ohio should ban the sale and purchase of semi-automatic assault rifles.
A lot of work (and money) has been put toward turning Elm Street into Cincinnati’s arts axis. How is that paying off? Well, four of our first five picks this week take place along a two-block stretch of Elm. And that doesn’t even count the CSO – and they’re playing, too. So park once, and enjoy often.
TEDxCincinnati will mark its eighth year with the theme “Reinvent.”
The program will feature local and national speakers and performances. Topics vary year to year but usually include wellness, entertainment, technology, health, learning and more.
Engage your mind and your senses this week with new exhibits, performances and more around town. This city has a lot to offer so we’ve done some leg work for you and selected a few happenings we don’t want you to miss.
The most basic elements of any story are a beginning, a middle and an end. The more nuanced elements include an introduction, interesting characters, conflict, high stakes, transformation and resolution. By any of these measures, the story of Cincy Stories remains incomplete. The end, or resolution, is nowhere in sight. But the power of a story, in the telling and the hearing, has been plain to see.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham will be the final speaker in this season’s Montgomery Woman’s Club Town Hall Lecture Series.
The Cincinnati Woman’s Club welcomed Neville Pinto, Ph.D., president of the University of Cincinnati, as guest speaker. Pinto shared his vision for the future and his philosophy on leadership.
Repeat after us: Pay no attention to the falling snow. It’s spring. It’s really spring. Whatever Mother Nature’s capricious weather, there are still plenty of great reasons to get out of the house this week for great arts offerings. In particular, although Holy Week doesn’t start until Sunday, Easter-themed programs are popping up like daffodils.
