Hi Neighbor!

If she asked me once, she asked me twice. My neighbor, that is. Two times she has asked if I know why Wawa - everyone’s favorite local convenience store (because they have something for everyone including my favorite coffee flavor of the winter Caramel Cream, but that’s another story for another cold winter day) - doesn’t have electronic doors. Two times I listened, because quite honestly, I forgot she had asked me once before.

Still, I found her answer fascinating, even the second time around. And…I found it to be unscientifically true as a first-hand witness on a daily basis. READ MORE

Gotta have a Wawa,

A modern classic of the American theatre, “Proof” tells the story of Catherine, a young woman who for years was the primary caregiver for her brilliant mathematician father, Robert. Now, after his passing, Catherine must navigate a long weekend in the company of her sister, Claire, as well as one of her father’s former students, Hal, who is making a search for Robert’s lost notebooks. When a groundbreaking mathematical proof is uncovered, all the elements of comedy, drama, mystery, and romance are combined to create a powerful, moving, always surprising, and endlessly entertaining night of theatre.

Stoga Theatre's Spring Musical:

Once Upon A Mattress

February 25, 26, 27 and 28 - 7 pm

Saturday matinee on February 28 at 2pm

Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? This rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing!
