Broadway talent to perform in the Poconos on Nov. 22 | Kulick

What makes our “neck of the woods” so special are the little things that happen that are singular to our community, being Monroe County and its surrounding counties. One of those things is the fact that through the efforts of folks like Skip Scheetz and Stephen DeAngelis we have the opportunity to see seasoned performers that others pay dearly to see perform their art by way of the nonprofit organization Pocono Center for the Arts! (PCFTA) To this end, I wanted to highlight the final show that will be performed on Sunday, Nov. 22, at Stroudsmoor Country Inn at 4 p.m. If you have taken the opportunity to see any one of the shows in the past, you know what I am talking about. PCFTA has a motto, “Expect the Unexpected.” Well, the final show of the season never disappoints, and it is why it is titled “Show of Shows.” The performers who will appear represent those who have performed on Broadway stages, at concert halls, and on international stages. Stephen DeAngelis, producing artistic director, both produces and hosts the evening’s entertainment. William Michals has performed in "Beauty and the Beast," performing both the role of the Beast and of
