For the characters in the “Game of Thrones,” the phrase “Winter is Coming” meant that bad things were about to happen. For us in northern Ohio, the phrase “winter is coming” also can hold a bad omen, as many of us suffer from seasonal depression.

Two performances of the original Broadway show Swing! will take place this weekend at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.
