A Carol for Cleveland’s Ed Podolak knows a thing or two about Cleveland winters. Inspired by the Les Roberts’ novella of the same name, the play’s main character finds himself alone on Christmas Eve in the middle of Cleveland’s Public Square. But as Ed learns, memories of family and a little human kindness can warm even the chilliest body and soul. We hope this photographic stroll down memory lane gets you in the spirit for A Carol for Cleveland’s celebration of this great city.
