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

Pleasant Valley's Chris Ward voted 2026 Pocono Record Offensive Player of the Year

What would've happened if Chris Ward never chose to play football for Pleasant Valley? We'll never know. Instead, Ward's talents earned him the 2026 Pocono Record Offensive Player of the Year Award, as voted on by the area's six football coaches for his regular-season performance. Ward did everything for the Bears this season, recording 1,436 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns on 9 yards per carry, while also throwing a few passing touchdowns. Ward's single-season rushing total is the second-best mark in program history, only 50 yards shy of Michael Mitchell's record set in 2016. Pleasant Valley head coach Blaec Saeger said it took some convincing for Ward, who also plays lacrosse, to give football a chance in his early high school days. Thankfully for Saeger, he was persuasive enough to get the pads on him, and the rest is history. "I can't say enough good things about that kid," Saeger said. "And it is true — as a sophomore, I had to talk him back onto the football team, but he is a kid who bought into it. He's a kid who loves it. He's a kid who I love, man. He's just an amazing person. "He's the kid who
