By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
The Pennsylvania Ballet’s opening production of its 2017-2018 season is “The Sleeping Beauty,” which is a bit ironic considering that the company has been anything but sleeping in recent years under the guidance of Artistic Director Angel Corella.

On Stage (Spotlight): Andrew W.K. keeps the party going
By Denny Dyroff, Staff Writer, The Times
It would seem natural if Andrew W.K. had a tattoo of Dionysius somewhere on his body.

By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times
The other night, as I have done countless hundreds of times, I stood with my hand over my heart during the playing of the National Anthem on the sideline of a local high school football game.
None of the players on either team chose to kneel — but honestly, I wouldn’t have had a big issue with it if they had. Last time, I checked, this is America, a country...
Finding the bright spot
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
Every time I turn on the TV, the news seems to get more disturbing. The temptation to avoid media coverage altogether is becoming harder to resist; but yet, I don’t want to feel blindsided if something important is unfolding. Knowledge is power…even if you’d rather not hear it.
