The Holidays are just around the corner! Leaves are falling, the temperatures are cooling, and we have some great shows coming up in November!

“Home for Christmas” by Rod Foote will be a special treat this year at The Playhouse as we present two big acts of Christmas cheer filled not only with the glorious sounds of the season, but a touching one act play with music that is bound to tug at your heartstrings.  Following a first act of well-loved Christmas carols and other songs of the season along with heart-warming remembrances of Christmases past and a bit of comedy, too, Act Two brings on a new set and a new play. “The Greatest Christmas Story Ever Told” takes place in the Club Car of a train headed to Chicago from Seattle.  The time is Christmas Eve, 1940, and 9 strangers soon become the best of friends in that final pre-war year as they collectively find the comfort of the Holy Night bringing them together for a true celebration of Christmas.

“Home for Christmas” runs from November 15 through December 22

Ticket prices are:

$28 Adults $25 Seniors $15 Children under 12

New to the Shawnee Playhouse stage, “A Christmas Wizard of Oz” by Kathryn Schultz Miller

will be a fun time for the whole family, from the tiniest tots to the oldest members. A snow blizzard carries Dorothy and Toto to the Magical Elfinsland where Glinda is the Good Witch of the North Pole! Dorothy must get home to open her Christmas presents in the morning, so she sets off to meet the Wizard who lives in the Great Palace of Toys. The Scarecrow is now a Snowman, the Tin Man becomes a Tin Soldier and the Lion is now a toy Stuffed Lion that is sadly overpriced!

All Shows 10am

November 23 Through December 22

November 18, 19, 25, 26 and December 2,3,9,10,16,17,21,22

Tickets are $10 for all seats

Also in November is “The Ultimate Elvis Tribute” featuring Jay Allan for one night only, November 18 at 8pm.

Jay Allen puts on a performance that will leave you All Shook Up….the vocals are haunting and the resemblance is downright shocking! JAY ALLAN The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist has been so successful and authentic because he is a fan first and foremost of Elvis Aaron Presley. Jay can perform any and all era’s of Elvis’ life (50′s, 60′s & 70′s). This separates Jay from other Impersonators. Jay Allan is backed by the “That’s The Way It Is Showband” and their show is becoming the top Elvis act in the Eastern United States.

“Great tribute……he does remind me of my brother”
DAVID STANLEY (Elvis’ Stepbrother)

Long Pond, PA. (October 4, 2011) ― On June 4, 2010 Pocono Raceway announced the Raceway was embarking on an expansive construction project directed to improve driver safety and enhance competition.  In the fall of 2010, more 5,500 feet of the new generation SAFER (Steel and Foam Energy Reduction) barrier was installed to the inside of the track from the exit of turn one to the entrance of turn three, and more than 6,100 feet of  catch fence added from the front straight to turn two. Today, Raceway President and CEO, Brandon Igdalsky announced the kick-off of phase two of the project that includes:  a new outer pit wall, concrete pit stalls and repaving of the 2.5 mile superspeedway, known as “The Tricky Triangle.”

“We received input from a number of drivers, as well as NASCAR Officials before making our final improvement plans,” stated Igdalsky. “A new outer pit wall will replace the current pit wall and new concrete pit stalls will provide an excellent surface for pit stops and subsequent burn-outs. Our pit stalls are already among the largest on the circuit and our pit road is one of the widest and safest in NASCAR,” Igdalsky added. “Pocono was last repaved in 1995 and all construction work will be completed prior to Pocono Raceway’s June 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event.”

The 2012 Pocono Raceway schedule includes the June 10, Pocono 400 and the August 5, Pennsylvania 400, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. An ARCA 200-mile race will be run on  Saturday, June 9. An ARCA 125-mile race and a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series 125-mile race will be run on Saturday, August 4.  NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Pole Qualifying will also be conducted on the Saturday prior to each Sprint Cup Series event.

Renewal forms for 2012 tickets have been sent out to existing ticket holders. June 2011 ticket holders will receive a 10 percent discount on tickets ordered by October 31. August 2011 ticket holders will receive a 20 percent discount on tickets ordered by November 1 or a 10 percent discount on tickets ordered by December 31. Additionally, if race fans renew their tickets for the 2012 season by October 31, they will automatically be entered into a random drawing for two tickets to 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards Banquet in Las Vegas on Friday, December 2 and $500 spending cash.

For additional renewal or ticket information call toll free 1-800-RACEWAY (1-800-722-3923) or visit: www.poconoraceway.com.
