Project Mah Jongg, Cleveland Orchestra and Dan Folino

Posted Monday, January 30, 2012

Dee Perry sits down to a game of Mah Jongg as she explores the Chinese game's cultural connections in a new exhibit at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. Plus ideastream's Dave DeOreo takes his talents to South Beach to report on The Cleveland Orchestra's performance over the weekend at The Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami. And local favorite Dan Folino returns to Northeast Ohio to star in Stephen Sondheim's 'Anyone Can Whistle' at Lakeland Community College.
