Plain Dealer architecture critic Steven Litt recently wrote a rather positive reviewof the Roe Green Center for Theater and Dance on the main campus of Kent State University, and my own opinions about the building renovation are so strong I feel the need to weigh in.

Just about every child has performed the exercise of tracing a friend’s outline on a big piece of paper and then using the resulting drawing as the starting point for an artwork. And just about everyone, child or adult, has dreamed of what it would be like to fly through space, unhindered by gravity. Cleveland artist [...]
I hate school. I’m stressed to the max.

Maybe Kent State has finally come of age. Four decades have slipped by since Neil Young’s“four dead in Ohio” rang out as a generation’s lament on the loss of life and innocence. And some now say a renewed and mature Kent is rising — even as it finally fully honors its dead and embraces its [...]
