The Stroudsburg area dining scene is getting a fresh new player, and it comes with a familiar name attached. Swiftwater’s Frogtown Chophouse is bringing its talents to Stroud Township with a new twist, introducing a relaxed tavern concept they hope will quickly feel right at home in the community.Eric Noone, co-owner of The Frogtown Tavern, says the new spot marks the second location in the growing Frogtown brand, which began with The Frogtown Chophouse (472 Red Rock Road, Cresco) in 2012. While the Chophouse is known for its fine-dining experience, he describes the tavern as “a 180-degree difference,” offering a much more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

One year after the blockbuster first act, “Wicked,” hit theaters, we find ourselves right back on the yellow brick road heading to Oz.  “Wicked” follows two girls, Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, and Glinda, played by Ariana Grande, as they navigate college at Shiz University. When trying to see eye to eye with each other, they encounter love interests, issues dear to their hearts, and events that will change their futures for good.  “Wicked: For Good” opens in Oz a few years after the ending of “Wicked.” If you have also followed “The Wizard of Oz,” you would know that the second movie occurs during the events of “The Wizard of Oz.” You should expect to see familiar faces from the 1933 classic in this film.
