This Small-Town West Virginia Movie Theater Still Charges Prices That Feel Like The 1980s

Three people reportedly caught a movie here, with popcorn, large drinks and candy, for about what one ticket costs at a bigger theater up the road. That sounds like a typo. This little West Virginia cinema sits inside a shopping mall and shows the same new releases you’d find anywhere else. The difference shows up at the ticket window and again at the snack counter.

Be There To Be Square

Morgantown is a great place to cut a rug—you can try square dancing once a month at The Encore. Back in the day, physical education teachers across the nation set up record or tape players in gyms and had students do-si-do to “Turkey In the Straw” and skip through the Virginia Reel on a regular basis. Now we have groups like the Morgantown Friends of Old-Time Music and Dance (FOOTMAD) to thank for keeping square dancing current in Morgantown.

The Individualism of Roger Humphries

Around 9 p.m. on gala night of the 2026 Pittsburgh Jazz Festival, I was obliged to exit an immensely satisfying concert by Samara Joy and her cohesive septet in the August Wilson Cultural Center’s auditorium to emcee a set by drum grandmaster Roger Humphries. A familiar and beloved figure in Pittsburgh’s hardcore jazz circles for most of his 82 years, Humphries reached the global stage during his 1964–’67 tenure with Horace Silver, during which he developed a creative, still-fresh, swing-meets Afro-Latin beat matrix to propel bandmates Joe Henderson, Carmel Jones, Woody Shaw and J.J. Johnson on albums like Song For My Father, The Cape Verdean Blues and The Jody Grind, thereby stamping his tonal personality in the volatile mix of contemporaneous drum expression then being developed by individualistic, virtuosic generational contemporaries like Tony Williams, Joe Chambers, Jack DeJohnette, Lenny White and Billy Cobham.

Review: Midnight Radio’s ‘Night of the Living Dead N’At’

Pittsburgh is known as the birthplace of the modern zombie movie and a top choice for Halloween movies. So it isn’t surprising that Bricolage Production Company chose to parody Night of the Living Dead, a classic horror film directed by George A. Romero and shot in and around Pittsburgh. Bricolage Production Company’s Night of the Living Dead N’At opened Midnight Radio’s fourteenth season in residency at City Theatre, and there is no shortage of zombies, raunchy humor, and Pittsburgh references. Night of the Living Dead N’At is a must-see treat (with a few tricks) for anyone who loves horror movies and enjoys the playful humor of a good parody.
