Ohio: Wild at Heart,” a new documentary short film, will premiere at the Great Lakes Science Center’s Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater on Wednesday, July 1, and play there through the end of the month. Tickets, which include science center admission, range from $19.95 to $24.95 and can be purchased at greatscience.com.
