As I was thinking of what to get my 85 year-old mother for Christmas this year, I realized she doesn’t need any more “stuff.” I started looking into things to do, mostly theater productions and came to realize just how many live performances we have available to us in the Lehigh Valley. We have The State Theatre Center for the Arts in Easton, Touchstone Theatre in Bethlehem, Civic Theatre of Allentown and the Pines Dinner Theatre in Allentown. Plus, over the summer, DeSales University and Muhlenberg College both have great programs for kids and adults. I decided to let my mom pick what show she wants to see. I’ll let you know what we see and how we like it.
