Thanks to the close proximity to New York CIty and some of the world's greatest talent, the Poconos has found itself the lucky recipient of both talent spillover and a demanding public.
Tucked away here and there throughout the Poconos, there are playhouses and revival theatres that offer a whole host of productions -many familiar, and others either local or obscure.
Use the listings below to find specific locations and theatres as well as a sampling of the best upcoming and current works.
