Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Live in Concert at Easton’s State Theatre October 15

Go back to where it all began with this concert event!

Featuring a soundtrack that blends symphonic orchestral music with hip-hop, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Live in Concert pairs a screening of the Academy Award®-winning animated film with live musicians and turntables featuring a DJ scratcher live on stage.

Emmy® winner Daniel Pemberton composed a sprawling score of boundary-pushing original music that is complimented with song contributions by Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith, and Nicki Minaj. The hip-hop based score results in a sonic universe that is woven throughout the fabric of the film, supporting its themes of resilience and universal heroism.

Joining the tour is The Broadway Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra led by conductor Emily Marshall.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask. A superhero classic for a new generation, Miles is an Afro-Latinx teen who is bitten by a radioactive spider in the subway and gains mysterious powers. Joined by spider-heroes from parallel universes, Miles must master his new powers to save his city from a villain who could destroy it all.

Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour crash lands at Easton’s State Theatre Sept 7

By Sasha Sinclair — 1 year ago

Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour lands at Easton’s State Theatre Sept 7

Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) was willing to do whatever it took to become famous, even if it meant stapling his b***sack to his leg.

After failing miserably at the University of Miami, Steve-O was a homeless couch-surfer for three years before he attended Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, to help further his goal of becoming a famous stuntman.

Steve-O: The Bucket List Tour lands at Easton’s State Theatre Sept 7

His relentless attention-wh*ring ultimately led to working with Johnny Knoxville on a stunt-based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of JACKASS in 2000.

Since then, Steve-O has had continued success, as a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his memoir, ‘Professional Idiot’, and he has established himself as a force in the world of stand-up comedy. He’s thrilled to be releasing his new, profoundly multimedia, and wildly explicit comedy special, direct to his fans at steveo.com. It’s called “Gnarly”, for good reason.

Across his social media platforms, Steve-O has amassed well over 24 million followers and counting, providing an intimate window into his continued antics and colorful life with his fiancee, Lux. He’s also got a weekly podcast called Steve-O’s Wild Ride! with amazing guests which have included Demi Lovato, Shaquille O’Neal, Ronda Rousey, David Dobrik, Tony Hawk, and more.

Steve-O has never stopped being wild and crazy, but he’s definitely evolved. He’s been clean and sober for over twelve years now, and developed a genuine love for animals (including the four dogs, two cats, and three goats he and Lux have rescued). Steve-O and Lux have plans to start their own animal sanctuary.

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” staged by the State Ballet Theater of Ukraine Comes to Easton’s State Theater January 20, 2024 at 2pm.

Classical Arts Entertainment presents the ballet fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” in 2 acts with one intermission based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.

“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” staged by the State Ballet Theater of Ukraine Comes to Easton’s State Theater

There are fairy tales that inspire creators to create performances in different genres and directions. One of these was the favorite fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” This time, the fairy tale will come to life in dance and be staged by the State Ballet Theater of Ukraine. Our ballet is a story about love, friendship, witchcraft, about the eternal struggle between good and evil.

The ballet “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is an excellent opportunity to spend time with the whole family. And also to introduce the child to the art of classical ballet. A unique production, an excellent plot (bright acting images, virtuoso solo parts, comical dwarfs, funny little animals), famous characters, and dynamic music will give both adults and children a festive mood.

Three Oak Steakhouse Delivers: Big Flavor, Great Service, located in Easton PA

By Joe Wehinger — 2 years ago

Three Oak Steakhouse delivers: big flavor, great service, located in Easton, PA

When you visit the Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, you ask everyone about where to find good food.

Every foodie I’ve met gets a twinkle in their eye when they mention Easton’s Three Oak Steakhouse.

So I was excited to try it.

Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley is growing. And so are the food choices. People are demanding quality, service and ambience.

Does Three Oak Steakhouse hold up to these very high standard?

On a recent visit, I tasted their cocktails, caesar salad, 20 oz dry-aged Kansas City Steak, and a mushroom side dish.

Three Oak Steakhouse’s Caesar salad

Cuisine

Are the ingredients fresh? Is your plate well-made?

Exceptionally well-done. A wide variety of steak and seafood with high-end side dishes. The cocktails are mixed well. Balanced. The wine list is diverse with mostly traditional choices (Hello California Cab) and a few Old World and enough brave picks that would make a NYC wino grin.

Three Oak Steakhouse medium rare 20 oz dry-aged Kansas City Steak

My Caesar was crisp, slightly indulgent with house-made dressing. My 20 oz dry-aged Kansas City Steak was cooked perfectly, seared with a slight crust that provided just enough crunch. The mushrooms were extra juicy and prepared well to compliment my dinner.

Ambience

The setting is steakhouse perfect. Dim lighting. Wood tones. A selection of bar seating, smaller tables (think date night) and large tables for friends or business. The rooftop bar is a pleasant surprise and a fun hangout.

Three Oak Steakhouse bar and ambience

Service

Much like you’d expect from a high-end steakhouse, the service is exceptional. Fast, very knowledgable and helpful without being too “needy”. All the wait staff kept their distance letting you enjoy your time and yet magically arrive just when you need them

The servers, bartenders and wait staff are anticipating your needs and often a few steps ahead of you.

Three Oak Steakhouse’s Old Fashioned

Hospitality

Does the restaurant deliver on the promise it makes to their customer?

Absolutely yes. Three Oak Steakhouse offers you an incredible night of excellent food and drink in a dramatic, cozy setting, with service that arrives just when you need them.

I can understand the smiles and starry eyes after my first visit. Three Oak Steakhouse is helping Easton and the Lehigh Valley establish themselves as an East Coast foodie destination.

Easton’s Commodore Building Adds Upscale Housing and Dining

By Ruben Kellermen — 2 years ago

Easton’s Commodore Building adds upscale housing and dining

The local project that has taken longer than expected has finally reached a milestone moment and is ready for it’s next exciting steps.

“It’s a really tricky time right now for everybody,”

said Garett Vassel,

president of Optima Durant Group.

“We had some challenges with our former steel contractor and there was actually a bankruptcy with the sub contractors.”

Easton's Commodore Building adds Upscale Housing and Restaurants

They can move forward on the seven-story building.

“This is everything to me, it’s everything to the project,”

Vassel said.

“With this building closing up, now it’s a completely different trajectory for this project. Now people can start working late.

“You have 32 residential apartments – rental apartments. You have two floors of retail spaces. You have two floors commercial office space – about 14,000 square feet. And then 8,500-square-foot rooftop restaurant.”

Easton's Commodore Building adds Upscale Housing and Restaurants

The restaurant looks to be taken by The Trapani Family, who are already successful restauranteurs with Zest and Grille 3501.

“It’s a great opportunity I mean we’re very excited to just be part of the Easton community,”

said Patti Trapani.

“Food-wise we’re looking toward the same thing,” Trapani said. “Fine dining but casual. We’re going to make a very inviting, comfortable setting, kind of warm. Maybe a bit more earthy type thing.”

Construction is now expected to wrap up with tenants moving in by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
