    Punxsutawney Theatre Arts Guild presents “Ripcord”.  A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriating chipper woman by any means necessary.  A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. Written by: David Lindsay-Abaire Courtesy of: Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

    Cook Forest State Park, park amphitheater

     

    There are many things to see and do during your stay at Cook Forest, from walking amongst magnificent tall and ancient old growth forests to taking a scenic float down the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River.  Do you like to investigate wildlife, take a hike on a trail, or are you just trying to find a short break from the rigors of life?  There’s just so much to do in such a short amount of time that it’s just impossible to pack it all into one trip.  We challenge you to leave your electronic gadgets at home and start a family tradition that will last generations… many of your fellow campers already have.  Bring your chairs and blankets to the Ridge Camp park amphitheater for an evening virtual tour that will bring back many memories and help you to make new ones.
