There are shows this weekend and next.
Brecksville Little Theatre’s summer show,“On Golden Pond," is a tale that explores relationships between family. Jan Futhey, the director of the production, said in an email that she thinks the message of the show is a lasting one. Futhey writes: “This is my third involvement with this play, and each time it becomes more clear to me just how timeless the message is. The story has many layers: an estranged father and daughter attempting to mend a fractured relationship; Norman, the cantankerous husband and father preoccupied with death; and Ethel, the wife and mother, his opposite in disposition, managing his moods and running interference when he’s less than charming with others. There will undoubtedly be many audience members who can …

You probably won't be around the next time this happens, so watch it on Tuesday evening.
A little after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, residents of our area will have an opportunity to witness one of the rarest predictable celestial events: a transit of Venus. Often referred to as the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star," Venus is the brightest natural object in our sky after the Sun and the Moon. As the second planet from the Sun, it's closer to the Sun than the Earth is. A "transit" of Venus occurs when Venus passes between us and the Sun in such a way that we can see Venus's silhouette backlit by the Sun's brilliant light. It last happened in 2004, but it won't happen again until 2117. Unless you plan to shatter some human longevity records, this is probably your last chance. Were Venus either large enough or close enough to block out the…

We’re collecting responses to share on Memorial Day.
What does Memorial Day mean to you? Does it remind you of a particular person in your life, of their patriotism and dedication? Or maybe you don’t know someone personally who has served the country, but you have memories of attending parades and special ceremonies with your family. Whatever Memorial Day means to you, we want to hear it. Brecksville Patch will be collecting your responses through the end of the week and publishing them on Memorial Day. If we get enough responses, we’ll spread them out over the weekend, too. To participate, just send your name, hometown and a few sentences to Local Editor Rachel Abbey McCafferty by May 25. If you have some family photos you’d like to share, be sure to include them.

Help the city honor the men and women who have served the country.
Individuals and groups who want to take part in this year’s Memorial Day parade need to get their applications in to City Hall by Sunday. Memorial Day is a big event in Brecksville, one that will be made even more meaningful this year as the city remembers Sgt. Dennis E. Kancler, who died in Afghanistan last summer. Kancler’s mother, Paula Kancler, will be the featured speaker after the parade, according to information from the city. The parade will begin at 9 a.m. on May 28 at City Hall. Participants will begin gathering at 8:15 a.m. The parade will include the Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School marching band and members of the American Legion Post 196.

The show is running for two more weekends.
Brecksville Theater on the Square premiered “The Producers” this past weekend, and theater fans have just two more weeks to check it out. According to a press release from the theater, the show follows a Broadway producer and an accountant trying to create a failure of a play to make some quick money—comedy, of course, ensues. Director Patrick Ciamacco said the usually large show is scaled down a bit for the Brecksville location, but that it still has a "giant, Broadway feel." He's been working with a very talented cast, he added. The next performances will be held on May 4, 5 and 6 and again on May 11, 12 and 13. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday performances begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $14 for adults and $12…
