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

The art of remembrance: Work continues on Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park

To Stephen Colley, many military memorials feel polished and rigid. Colley doesn't want his work for the Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park to feel that way. "It looks like movie stars were in the middle of war," the sculptor and Marywood University educator said of other statues he's seen as he stood over several miniature renditions of a 12-foot eagle obelisk he designed.

Pennsylvania Has 4 Restored Grist Mills Where Water Wheels Still Turn For Visitors

One Pennsylvania mill lets you eat breakfast while a 24-foot water wheel turns on the other side of the glass. I love that detail. It makes pancakes feel like a field trip. That mill is not the only one still at work. Across the state, old wheels keep scooping creek water and spinning heavy stones.
