A MUST-SEE IN MALVERN!!!

The Unexpected 3rd starring Kathryn Grody (AKA Mandy Patinkin’s better half) at People’s Light is HILARIOUS! It’s also a wickedly subversive and deeply personal dive into life as a “woman of a certain age” in America. I ADORED IT!!! So did the men in the audience.

Already heldover through October 26 due to popular demand, this one-woman tour de force - written by Grody herself - chose to make its world premiere here in Malvern. (Yay for us!)

Here’s hoping Broadway’s bright lights are next!

PS Excited to listen to Patinkin/Grody’s upcoming advice podcast - cheekily titled “Don’t Listen To Us.” It’s by , the folks behind Julia Louis Dreyfus’ sensational “Wiser Than Me” podcast. Good stuff!

THiS SOUNDS EPIC! Two-time Tony Award-winning actress, singer and dancer Sutton Foster is coming to the Main Line this Friday night! The superstar is headlining a first-time fundraiser with the Philly Pops for student scholarship at Villanova U.

Talented Nova students will join Foster on the Finneran Pavilion stage and smart money says everyone’s fave University President, Father Peter (a Nova Theater grad himself), will make a cameo. Take it from us, that priest can SING!!!

The event is modeled after a similar collab between Boston College and the Boston Pops. The plan is to make Pops in the Pavilion an annual event. How fun is that!!!

TICKETS include a gourmet picnic-style dinner with beer and wine to enjoy at your reserved seat & a tax-deductible donation toward student scholarship.

NEW STORY: We go inside the mind-blowing transformation of a local landmark in the heart of the Main Line. This isn't a store, it's an EXPERIENCE.

Prepare to scrape your jaws off the floor, folks – World Wide Stereo in Wayne is a WOW!!! Newly opened in the old Starbucks, it’s a welcome 180 from that sketchy CBD/kratom shop that Radnor township wisely gave the boot after a hot minute. It's also a snazzy upgrade over its former Main Line hom...

SO EXCITED TO SHARE THE STAGE with this Hall of Fame Eagles Coach in a few weeks.
Why?
1. I'm a lifelong and diehard Birds fan who's been around long enough to remember Vermeil's glory days.
2. The topic is very much in the news: cutting-edge tips and techniques to extend our individual healthspans - in brain and body. In addition to hosting a fireside chat with Coach, I'll be leading a Q-and-A with longevity experts and providers. And guests will get a chance to road test some cool longevity/wellness tech. And...
3. The event benefits one of my fave local nonprofits: Surrey Services for Seniors.
DETAILS AND TICKET LINK IN OUR STORY. Hope to see you there!!!

Looking to live longer, healthier? Take a page from Coach Vermeil’s playbook. You’ll get that chance Friday, Oct. 17 at an inaugural luncheon summit hosted by Surrey Services’ new Beilenson Institute for Innovation in Aging. The Hall of Fame Coach will headline the program at The Desmond Hotel...

OVER AND OUT FOR VALLEY FORGE MILITARY ACADEMY IN WAYNE. The prep school announced today that it will close at the end of this school year, two years shy of its 100th year of operation. The Academy stated that it “is no longer viable” due to rising costs and falling enrollment.– only 120 students total were reportedly enrolled in grades 7 to 12 last year and tuition was $22K to 49K. VFMAC has also had to defend itself against lawsuits alleging hazing and sexual abuse.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The two-year Valley Forge Military College has a different board and leadership and will soldier oneducating cadets at its Wayne campus.
AN UNANSWERED QUESTION: What does the closure of the prep boarding school mean for the VFMAC campus? The school has been forced to sell off significant chunks of its campus in recent years.

Are your kids already stressed by school and friendships? Check out our story about a groundbreaking new "club" near Tredyffrin/Great Valley that offers enriching, supervised activities for the young (and young at heart) in a relaxed setting.

It’s easier to explain the new Clubhouse Wellness Center by telling you what it’s not. It’s not drop-in daycare or eldercare, it’s not an indoor playground and it’s not therapy. What it is: a place for screen-free play – mostly for kids but also for grownups – that inspires connection,...

Handel's Ice Cream will mark 20 years in Berwyn this Saturday but it won't be touting its own success. Instead, Handel's birthday bash will honor one of Berwyn's finest: "Big Dan" McMonigle, who left a legacy of love when he passed in late June. Why is Handel's raising funds in his memory?

I was sorry to read this story about my children's alma mater on the front page of this morning's Inquirer.

Soccer coach David Zimmerman and students were placing "prop bets" on the performance of boys basketball players. The NCAA has sought a federal on that type of sports gambling.
