CLEVELAND — The city of Elyria has made it to the bright lights of the Big Apple. A playwright from the Lorain County city is using her hometown to show the world how special Elyria truly is.  "Elyria" is the new play from Deepa Purohit that's now in production in New York City. Born in the UK, her father moved their family to Ohio for his medical job. They eventually settled in Elyria.  During a conversation with 3News' Laura Caso, Purohit looked back at what things stood out to her growing up in Northeast Ohio.
