    For the past couple of years, Reign Lee has been teetering on the edge of superstardom. She is doing everything the right way; releasing critically acclaimed records, winning adulations from the always-discerning indie press and embarking on an endless rotation of tours to help hone her craft.

    Talk about a terrific resume builder. The Concordia Singers, a select choral group featuring singers of the Nittany Valley Childrens Choir, will get to perform with the Kronos Quartet on Nov. 10, when the Grammy-winning, genre-defying string group brings its new multimedia presentation, “Awakening,” to Eisenhower Auditorium.

    Hollywood loves money. So does Ebenezer Scrooge. So what better way to launch the holiday season than putting the old money-grubber at the head of the line to separate movie-goers from their cash? The latest version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” features Jim Carrey as Scrooge. Coming on Ebenezer’s coattails will be vampire romance (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”), end-of-the-world stories (”2012,” “The Road”), epic science fiction (“Avatar”) and a new incarnation of the world’s greatest detective (“Sherlock Holmes”).

    THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

    A fun tone is undermined by disjointed storytelling in George Clooney’s “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” and it all starts with the disclaimer that opens the movie: “More of this is true than what you might imagine.”

    The Box

    Cameron Diaz and James Marsden have a terrible moral dilemma in Richard Kelly’s “The Box”: Press a button on a mysterious container, they’ll get $1 million, and someone they don’t know will die.

    she loves me PRE
    L. Reidar Jensen

    Long before eharmony.com and all those 800 numbers, singles looking for romance answered “lonely-hearts” ads in newspapers by letter. This quaint form of finding Mr./Ms. Right is central to the storyline of the musical “She Loves Me” being presented by the Penn State School of Theatre.

    Almost all of us have seen at least one adaptation of Sergei Prokofiev’s timeless 1936 composition “Peter and the Wolf.” Whether it was the 1946 animated Walt Disney short or one of the other dozens of renditions, most of us are familiar with the valiant tale of young Peter venturing into a snow-covered forest only to come face to face with a blood-thirsty wolf. On Nov. 8, the Pennsylvania Centre Orchestra will perform its own interpretation of this everlasting standard.

    The Next Stage’s local premiere of Willy Holtzman’s “Something You Did” is theater at its finest. This professional production tackles a contemporary issue with sensitivity and compelling drama. The play tells the story of a ’60s political activist, Allison, who has been imprisoned more than 30 years for her part in a domestic terrorist bombing in Grand Central Station. Two people were killed, a policeman and another activist.

    sweeney todd PRE

    Some folks prefer their Halloween to be all about treats — candy, costumes and party fun. Others prefer their holiday full of tricks — scary pranks, ghoulish masks and ghost stories. The Penn State Thespians hopes to satisfy both camps with their production of “Sweeney Todd.”

    Exhibit1

    Many popular writers, Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver for example, have bemoaned the fact that, as often as not, American families eat their meals on the go. Foodies, locavores and pundits alike worry important cultural traditions are being lost every time a fast-food burger is eaten en route to soccer practice. When food is consumed simply to fill a void, they argue, we lose our connection to what we eat and to each other.

    Upon entering Penn State’s Borland Gallery, there is no mistaking the feeling of being steeped in a gentility and refinement that can come from enjoying afternoon tea. The exhibit “Tea Time in 18th-Century Philadelphia” is a collection of furniture and tea settings from colonial Philadelphia that provides a glimpse into what was once a great tradition.

    The Haunted Granary in Lemont has been drawing thrill-seekers for more than a decade with attractions such as the grain elevator maze, haunted bus and interactive skits. The event’s new management promises higher-quality entertainment and a variety of activities for all ages.

    Saturday will come early this week to Centre County. Country-chart topper Brad Paisley will bring his “American Saturday Night” concert tour to the Bryce Jordan today, with his patented cocktail of mischief and music, rimmed with salt-of-the-earth earnestness.

    Wine consumers generally fall into one of two categories: tasters and drinkers. Tasters can detect subtleties in flavors of a wine and know how it was made while drinkers imbibe without analyzing. No matter which category one falls into, there are always more wines to taste and knowledge to be gained.

    Think “circus” and, traditionally, images of elephants, sideshows and clowns packed into tiny cars come to mind. But 25 years ago, all that started to change.

    In “Humpday,” an independent film screening at the State Theatre, Joshua Leonard plays a man who agrees to make a gay porno film with his best friend — which means they will have to have sex with each other on camera.

    PITTSBURGH — A cardboard lid is lifted and four archivists peer inside. A postal box from Paris. Who sent it? A piece of crusty wedding cake. Whose? Another box: $17,000 in cash. Yet another: An autographed picture of a naked Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

    Eleven years ago, Joel and Ethan Coen released the smart, wry noir dramedy “The Big Lebowski,” to lukewarm critical reviews and half-empty theaters.
