25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Graduated From Binghamton University

People sometimes think of Binghamton University as a place where students go to prepare for careers in business, science, law, and other demanding fields. That is certainly part of its reputation. Yet the university has also educated actors, comedians, musicians, writers, television personalities, political leaders, and people who helped build major American companies. Some of those names are so familiar that their connection to this SUNY campus in New York’s Southern Tier comes as a surprise.

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

The Pennsylvania Mystery That Still Has No Clear Answer

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Pulpit: Local Pastor Emerges as Stand-Up Comedian

He’s a rarity, that’s for sure. A guy who’s equally at ease while preaching from the Bible in a church or delivering a punch line at a comedy club. That’s right, State College’s Jonathan Weibel is both an ordained pastor and a professional stand-up comedian. Appropriately enough, he jokes about his curious combination of professions. “I fly a lot,” says the clergy comic, “and one of the first things someone says to you on a plane is, ‘What do you do for a living?’ If I want to talk to them, I tell them I’m a stand-up comedian. And if I’m tired and don’t want to talk to them, I’ll tell them I’m a Baptist evangelist.” Weibel has served in Christian ministry for nearly 40 years. The last 30 years have been spent in the Centre Region, where he’s planted three new churches and served as lead pastor, worship pastor or youth pastor at State College Alliance Church, Penns Valley Community Church and Centre Church. He first got my attention in work that was unrelated to stand-up: serving as the director of Front Yard Mission , a movement designed to bring genuine Christian love to neighborhoods. But then I heard

Pennsylvania Celebrities Come Home to Urge Voters to Hit the Polls Tuesday

The winners in local political races impact the lives of citizens every minute of every day. From governors, state senators and representatives; county legislators, school boards, borough council members and township supervisors, historically poor voter turnout in election cycle “off years” – or in those where a president is not running for election – can have a profound impact on education funding, programs, property taxes, policies, services and more.

This Pennsylvania Cathedral Could Quite Easily Pass for a Church in Medieval Europe

A chest beneath one altar holds 84 relics of saints and martyrs, including Saint Patrick. That detail alone made me stop scrolling. Construction began in 1875, and the cathedral was dedicated in 1893. The bishop behind it refused to build unless the money was already in hand, so the walls rose slowly, stone by red stone.
