Cleveland developer Rick Foran to transform the former Astrup Awning factory and warehouse into a new, 74,000-square-foot center for nonprofit arts and social service organizations. Foran renamed the Astrup complex as the Pivot Center for Art, Dance, and Expression. The architectural "pivot" comes from a series of unusual windows cut into the brick façade of the museum's space on West 25th Street.

Sitcom comedy with touches of thriller and mystery in a story of characters that hide and show in equal parts until everything comes to light. The result is a well-structured comedy, but with an excessively light hilarity that makes its plot development redundant and with limited grace.
