One Community Reads: An Evening with Eric Klinenberg

One Community Reads: An Evening with Eric Klinenberg

Presented by The City Club of Cleveland and Cleveland Public Library and Cuyahoga County Public Library and Playhouse Square and Ideastream Public Media at Mimi Ohio Theatre

A collaboration among The City Club of Cleveland, ideastream, Playhouse Square, and all nine local public library systems, One Community Reads is designed to broaden and deepen our appreciation of reading and to cultivate dialogue based upon a shared reading experience for the Greater Cleveland Community.

In the face of increasing political polarization, climate emergencies, and declining civic institutions, renowned sociologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Klinenberg’s book Palaces For The People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life reveals how we can find common purpose through the places that form the foundation of our neighborhoods.

This provocative book reframes our conception of civic life, arguing that the resilience of our communities rests not on shared values but on shared spaces capable of fostering crucial, sometimes even life-saving connections. In clear, accessible prose, Klinenberg explains that today’s most pressing issues crime, education, the opioid crisis, and climate change—can all be addressed with place-based policies, and demonstrates how such policies have been put into effect with great success.

Tickets are free and will be available via the Playhouse Square website on February 10, 2020.

PARKING GARAGE

Playhouse Square has kept event parking affordable for our guests. In fact, at just $20, the on-site Playhouse Square garage is priced lower than other parking facilities at every downtown entertainment and sports venue, where prices are sometimes more than double on event night for lots that can be several blocks away.

The garage offers a covered walkway into the theaters. The walkway is accessible from the 2nd floor of the garage and elevators are available on each parking level.

Purchase night or weekend parking in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage (located at 1450 Chester Avenue).

The Lumen Parking Garage is conveniently located across the street from the theaters, entering on E. 17th Street between Prospect and Euclid.

Parking passes must be purchased prior to the day of your performance.

Note: On the day of your performance, you will not be able to purchase Playhouse Square Parking Garage passes online or at the Box Office. Drive-up on-site parking may still be available at the published on-site rate. No overnight parking.

PURCHASE PARKING IN THE PLAYHOUSE SQUARE GARAGE OR THE LUMEN GARAGE

VALET PARKING

Valet parking is provided by VIP Valet at Playhouse Square. For your convenience, valet is available on both sides of Euclid Ave.

Pardon our dust! During the construction period for the Bulkely Apartments through December 2024, valet parking for the north side of Euclid will be located at the corner of E. 17th St. and Euclid Ave. From Chester Ave., turn south on E. 17th to access valet parking.

Valet parking is also available in front of the Hanna Theatre on E. 14th St.
