Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

Nestled in the heart of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Luzerne County and the Greater Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton and Pittston areas, offer visitors an area of natural beauty - with mountains, streams, lakes and valleys providing outdoor recreational opportunities year-round. Few areas can match its accessibility with Interstates 80, 81, 380 and 84 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike crossing through its region.

The Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, in addition to its role as a regional arena for professional sports, plays a key role in Northeastern Pennsylvania as a large venue for touring companies like the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, and numerous national touring artists. Elton John, who once played the arena twice within six months, is one of the arena’s biggest fans.

The F.M.KirbyCenter for the Performing Arts. The Kirby started its life as an elegant movie theater on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. In 1938, the Comerford movie theater chain erected her as a monument to its founder This grandest of all movie palaces, with an advanced art deco design featuring five lobbies, oval rose-colored mirrors, tall fluted columns, doors and walls in copper tints with shades of metallic blue, was the "place to be seen" in America’s grandest age. She became the Paramount in 1949, and continued as the premier movie theater in all of Northeastern Pennsylvania into the 1970s. Although this grand lady with her spectacular lobby chandelier survived Agnes’ daunting flood waters – 14 feet of water, muck, and mud entered through the main lobby doors – the end of grand movie houses was inevitable, and the Paramount closed in late 1977. Although the building suffered significantly after her closing, she was resurrected by an impressive, community-based capital campaign which raised more than four million dollars.  www.kirbycenter.org
