Alice Cooper Brought Alice’s Attic Tour to the Wind Creek Casino Event Center, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on November 1, 2026

My introduction to Alice Cooper’s music was listening to 8 Track tapes of Love It To Death and Killer on the 1200 mile trip to Fort Lauderdale , Florida (the home of Spring Break) when I was in college. Whenever we couldn’t tune in an am radio station, it was 8-track time. Fast forward to the present, where I was part of the sellout crowd of 2500 attending the Alice’s Attic tour stop in the Event Center at the Wind Creek Casino.

Ice cream nachos exist, and they’re being served at a revived roadside creamery that opens at 6:30 in the morning. That early start matters because this spot now pours coffee and makes griddled breakfast sandwiches before most ice cream shops even unlock the door. Later in the day, the menu swings toward smash burgers, cheesesteaks, and milkshakes.

Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble to premiere new ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ adaptation

Bloomsburg, Pa. — Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble will present a new adaption of "It's a Wonderful Life" for the annual holiday show at the Alvina Krause Theatre. Performances will run Nov. 27 through Dec. 27 at the downtown theater, 226 Center St., Bloomsburg. BTE Resident Artist Kimie Muroya wrote the adaptation of “The Greatest Gift” by Philip Van Doren Stern, which Frank Capra also adapted into a film in 1946. BTE Resident Artist Amy Rene Byrne will direct. Both promise a visually stunning adaptation that emphasizes the importance of community. “When George Bailey (BTE Resident Artist Aaron White) fears he’s lost it all, his guardian angel helps him reflect on all the good he’s done for his community,” Muroya said. She loved writing the ending, “where George’s community rallies around him at the end. The kindness he gave out comes back to him in spades.” She is also excited for people to see the starry effect used to represent guardian Clarence, played by returning guest artist Ethan Jovanovic, and his angelic cohort. BTE founding members Elizabeth Dowd and Rand Whipple return to the BTE stage as Mr. Gower/Mother/Mrs. Hatch/Ensemble and Father/Uncle Billy/Ensemble, respectively. Resident Artist Abigail Leffler will play Sam/Ernie/Ensemble, and
