Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tour
2025-05-02 19:45 - 21:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Join us during First Fridays for Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tours!
Many places in the massive Bethlehem Steel plant were 24/7 operations. Although some areas glowed with molten metal after sunset, other locations were dark, illuminated only when workers with company issued flashlights navigated the maze-like facilities. Now guests can participate in a guided tour of the plant after dark, utilizing flashlights to experience the former steel mill by spotlighting specific features and peering into areas otherwise in the shadows during the day. The tours will leave from the Museum, walk the Hoover-Mason trestle, look at the east side of the blast furnace complex from the ground, and return to the Museum at street level, all while using flashlights to focus on details and stories from “The Steel.”
Please bring your own flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants will be required to sign a waiver at check in. This tour happens entirely in public spaces, but in the dark, with uneven surfaces and limited visibility. It is not a haunted/ghost tour, but some visitors may be uncomfortable with the lack of light, strange noises, and heights (46 feet). In the case of inclement weather (including rain, snow/ice, heavy winds, lightning), please check the museum website and WFMZ storm center for cancellations.

The Paper Escaper
2025-05-11 16:00 - 18:00 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
What happens when a book character won’t stay in their place? At first, the world of The Paper Escaper exists only in white, blacks, and greys. But then, the Illustrator reveals a vividly colored pop-up book and Benny, the book’s newest character. Benny, our plucky puppet protagonist, is eager to explore the world beyond their page. But when the Illustrator keeps trying to make Benny stay put, Benny will need the help of a surprising new friend to evade the Illustrator’s traps of glue and tape. As the zany game of cat-and-mouse escalates, a wily fire threatens to break out of control and consume the whole workroom. Benny can’t fight it all on their own – what will they do?
This puppetry play that uses no dialogue lets the striking visuals, dynamic original music, and cartoon-like sound effects tell a story of determination, friendship, and the power of following your own path.

Connect & Create: Drawing as Meditation
2025-05-13 17:30 - 19:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
with Teaching Artist Susan Morelock
Disconnect and de-stress in this peaceful evening session at LUAG. We’ll begin with some gentle seated movement, followed by a short guided meditation. Then, with a cultivated sense of heightened awareness, we will move together through several drawing exercises, creating experimental drawings inspired by the season, observation, and curiosity about the world all around us.
The resulting drawings will be experimental, fluid, foundational, gestural, and incredibly fun. Here, the emphasis is on mark-making, gesture, and connecting the practice of drawing with the practice of meditation. No prior drawing or meditation experience is required, as the practice is really based on the individual’s response to the experience in the moment.
All supplies will be provided and participants will take home their own drawing kit.
This event is free and all are welcome. Space is limited to 20 participants. Please register in advance.
If you require assistance filling out this form, prefer to share your registration information via email or phone, or have questions, concerns, or any accessibility needs, please email Elise at ejs421@lehigh.edu or call 610-758-6882.
Connect & Create workshops offer a brief exploration and creative conversation around a work of art from the LUAG collection, followed by a hands-on activity and/or creative response led by a local teaching artist or student educator.

The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning: tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. In their epic shows, The Doo Wop Project takes audiences on a journey featuring foundational tunes made famous by The Crests, The Belmonts, and The Flamingos–Sixteen Candles, A Teenager in Love, I Only Have Eyes For You–through the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to DooWopified versions of modern hits from Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, and Sam Smith.
Featuring stars from the Broadway hits Jersey Boys, Motown: The Musical, and A Bronx Tale, The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate-and in some cases entirely imagine-the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, Joseph Skrapits, Still Life and Landscape paintings, Inside and Out
2025-05-23 08:00 - 2025-06-30 16:00 | Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, 10 East Church Street, Bethlehem, PA, 18018, United States
Lehigh Valley painter, Joseph Skrapits will be exhibiting his still life and landscape paintings titled Inside and Out at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from May 23 to June 30, 2025. There will be an opening reception on Sunday, June 1 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM with an artist talk at 3:00 PM. The Rotunda Gallery is located at 10 E. Church Street. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
This show has given Joseph the chance to review his work of the past forty years in the two genres where he has been most active: plein air landscape and still life. He has chosen to exhibit paintings that he has rarely shown, emphasizing pairings that highlight changes in his approach over time.
Philosophically, the big change has been a movement from an enthusiastic truth-to-nature approach toward a more considered understanding of painting as a kind of “timelessness machine.” Through the analysis and manipulation of design elements (tonal value, color and composition), Joseph enjoys exploring the aesthetic qualities in his subjects, hopefully inducing in the viewer the emotion he experience in painting.
He graduated from Lehigh University with a B.A. in psychology/fine art in 1972 and worked as a freelance writer for national magazines, specializing in the history and practice of painting. In 1985, he began painting as a casual student of the late artist Antonio Salemme, who taught a direct, spontaneous approach stressing the structural and emotional properties of color. Joseph’s writing career enabled him to continue his education through the study of historical art movements and through interviews with contemporary artists. He resides and has his studio in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival’s “Play On!” Community Tour brings free performances of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing to libraries, parks, and community centers all over the region.
With a zest for love and a love of life, Shakespeare’s spirited comedy offers a tale of two courtships. Beatrice and Benedick elevate the art of the quarrel in their duel of glittering wordplay, while Claudio and Hero have their true love put to the test. Dastardly villains are challenged by comical officers, as honor and desire collide to create much ado about laughter
and love. Ages 6+.

Archibald Johnston Presentation
2025-05-31 13:00 - 14:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
The Archie Project is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), whose purpose is to raise funds to restore the interior of the Historic Archibald Johnston Mansion in Bethlehem Township’s Housenick Park. Hear from Tim Brady and John Gallagher about the project and the history behind this historic property and family.
Archibald Johnston arrived in Bethlehem from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania while still in elementary school. He thrived in school, was a graduate of Lehigh University, and became an employee of the Bethlehem Steel Company. His intelligence, salesmanship, and people skills were valued by senior management. He made “the Steel” – and himself – a lot of money.
Johnston married the daughter of a local family, Estelle Stadiger Borhek (center right in photo), and they had two children, Elizabeth (center left) and Archibald Borhek Johnston (right).
In the late 1910s, Bethlehem Steel’s senior management saw the wisdom in the consolidation of the three Bethlehem boroughs – Bethlehem, Northampton Heights, and South Bethlehem. Johnston led the consolidation campaign and voters selected him overwhelmingly as their first mayor. He served one term and moved to his new country estate, “Camel’s Hump Farm” in Bethlehem Township.
Johnston hired Curtis Lovelace, who would later create an architectural firm which would become today’s Spillman Farmer, to design a suitable residence for himself and his wife. His two children, already adults and married with their own children, would not accompany them to the 6,000-square-foot home completed in 1923.
Johnston had a passion for civil engineering projects as well as civic work. He walled the Monocacy Creek, built a fish hatchery, a riding rink, and a series of roads and bridges connecting the buildings and homes on what was almost one square mile adjacent to Nazareth Pike.
Johnston died on February 2, 1948, having enjoyed nearly 25 years of family life with his wife and their children and grandchildren.
Included with admission.

The Rev. Dr. Frank Crouch – Guest Preacher & Lectures
2025-06-01 10:00 - 11:00 | Central Moravian Church, 418 Main Street, Bethlehem, 18018
When it comes to race and racism, Moravians have our own stories of villains and heroes, complacency and prophecy, complicity and resistance. Moravian archival records, both North and South, reveal a long-term insider view of the actions and decisions of church leaders, congregations, agencies, and Synods. Some of these have lain dormant, without public discussion, for decades or centuries. We’ll explore some of the lowlights and highlights of what Moravians have done––for worse and for better––with respect to slavery, segregation, and discrimination. These sometimes sobering, sometimes inspiring stories offer both a lens and a mirror, as we look at “them” then and ourselves now.
The Rev. Dr. Frank Crouch will be our guest preacher on June 1st and will present his two-part lecture series on Wednesday, June 4 and Wednesday, June 11 at 7 p.m. in the Christian Education building, lower level. Both lectures will also be available through Zoom; the links are below:

Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tours
2025-06-06 19:45 - 21:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Join us during First Fridays for Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tours!
Many places in the massive Bethlehem Steel plant were 24/7 operations. Although some areas glowed with molten metal after sunset, other locations were dark, illuminated only when workers with company issued flashlights navigated the maze-like facilities. Now guests can participate in a guided tour of the plant after dark, utilizing flashlights to experience the former steel mill by spotlighting specific features and peering into areas otherwise in the shadows during the day. The tours will leave from the Museum, walk the Hoover-Mason trestle, look at the east side of the blast furnace complex from the ground, and return to the Museum at street level, all while using flashlights to focus on details and stories from “The Steel.”
Please bring your own flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants will be required to sign a waiver at check in. This tour happens entirely in public spaces, but in the dark, with uneven surfaces and limited visibility. It is not a haunted/ghost tour, but some visitors may be uncomfortable with the lack of light, strange noises, and heights (46 feet). In the case of inclement weather (including rain, snow/ice, heavy winds, lightning), please check the museum website and WFMZ storm center for cancellations.

Well before the Industrial Revolution, the early Moravians built a thriving community in Bethlehem near the confluence of the Monocacy Creek and Lehigh River. Completely self-sufficient, these industrious settlers quickly established the largest concentration of pre-Industrial Revolution technology in the nation, with approximately 50 crafts, trades and industries in operation by the mid-1750s.
When Founding Father and later president John Adams visited Bethlehem in 1777, he wrote to his wife, Abigail, that the Moravians had “carried the mechanical arts to greater perfection here than any place which I have seen.”
On Birthplace of Industry, sparks will fly as a certified Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites guide dressed in 18th century Moravian attire leads you through what is widely regarded as the nation’s first industrial center, the Colonial Industrial Quarter.
Visit the 1750/1761 Smithy, where you’ll see blacksmiths hard at work pounding the anvil as they craft many of the same items that Moravian blacksmiths produced more than two centuries ago.
Go inside the 1762 Waterworks, the first pumped municipal water system in the nation, and see the 18-foot-in-diameter undershot waterwheel that turned a mechanism that pumped water from the spring uphill to a tower in the heart of the early Moravian settlement.
See the 1761 Tannery, an essential site for leathermaking for more than 100 years, and the archeological remains of the Butchery, Dye House & Pottery, all part of Moravian Church Settlements–Bethlehem.
Stop by the 1869 Luckenbach Mill and newly restored 1782/1834 Grist Miller’s House, where you’ll learn about the milling of grain, the first industry to be established in Bethlehem in 1743.
Bring the family and friends, explore Bethlehem’s Colonial Industrial Quarter and discover the Birthplace of Industry in America!

The Last Days of Cleopatra: A New Musical Comedy
2025-06-13 19:30 - 2025-06-22 21:30, 2025-06-14 19:30 - 2025-06-23 21:30, 2025-06-20 19:30 - 2025-06-29 21:30, 2025-06-21 19:30 - 2025-06-30 21:30 | The Ice House, 56 River St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Following a celebrated professional staged reading at New York City’s Theater Row, the new musical comedy about the making of the film “Cleopatra,” with book, music and lyrics by Charles Barnett (When We Get There), will be presented by the Crowded Kitchen Players in association with Ice House Performing Arts Collaborative in Bethlehem, PA. Six performances will be staged from June 13-22, 2025 at The Ice House, 56 River Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018.
The Last Days of Cleopatra is an entertaining romp of a farce about love, betrayal, and triumph, all told in a setting of strife and midcentury-modern glamour. It’s 1961. After a calamitous start in London, the cast and crew of the film “Cleopatra” move to Cinecittà Studios in Rome to re-start the film. The dazzling Elizabeth Taylor has stayed on in the role of Cleopatra, but she has a new co-star: Richard Burton, a famed Shakespearean actor, who has joined the cast as Mark Antony. With the largest budget in Hollywood’s history and an acclaimed new director, Joseph Mankiewicz, the production seems to be back on track. But in reality, this esteemed cast and crew are in the process of making one of the biggest turkeys of all time. All while Taylor and Burton strike up a world-famous adulterous affair that ends Taylor’s marriage and drenches the production in scandal. As Taylor learns hard lessons, though, other troupers meet sunnier fates, finding friendship or true love on the set of this colossal disaster.
Ara Barlieb directs a cast of 13, including Sami Kennett* as Elizabeth Taylor and Albert Nelthropp* as Richard Burton with Jenna Atkinson, Bruce Brown, Lauren Curley, Nina Elias, Sharon A. Ferry, Robert Jacobs, Herman Marsh, Robert Tollinger, Dan VanArsdale, Pamela McLean Wallace, and Sawyer Whitted*. *Member, Actors’ Equity Association.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2:00pm.
General admission tickets are $25.00. Students/Seniors: $22. Visit: CKPlayers.com, or call 610-704-6974.
The runtime is two hours, including one intermission.

She is quite simply one of my absolute favorite songwriters.” — Tom Paxton

Anne Hills returns to Godfrey Daniels with the rich voice and moving songs that have made her a pillar of the contemporary folk world. Known for her timeless writing and captivating live performances, Anne weaves together music, story, and emotion in a way that feels deeply personal.

2025-07-10 19:00 - 21:00 | The Ice House, 56 River St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Join Patchwork for an unforgettable evening of storytelling as we present Free at Last: Stories of Revolution, Evolution, and Convolution, at the Ice House, 56 River Street, Bethlehem, PA, on Thursday, July 10, from 7 PM to 9 PM. This live performance event explores the many faces of freedom—liberation, transformation, and the moments in between. Tickets: Free and Pay-What-You-Can. Donations Accepted. Suggested: $15/pp
From personal milestones to mythic journeys, humorous mishaps to poignant revelations, this showcase celebrates the pivotal points in life where something changes—and nothing is ever quite the same again.
These are the stories we can’t forget—the ones that mark us, move us, and shape us—and, sometimes, the stories we finally get to laugh about from an older and wiser perch.
Whether it’s breaking free from an old habit, embracing a new identity, surviving a setback, or triumphing over a fear, these stories illuminate what it means to evolve, to let go, and to find freedom in expected—and wholly unexpected—ways.
As Patchwork president and host Denise McCormack says,
“These stories remind us that freedom isn’t always a finish line—it’s often a flicker, a feeling, a fierce moment of clarity. Each tale is a spark, and together, they light the way.”
The program features a mix of traditional folk and literary tales and deeply personal narratives told by a diverse and dynamic lineup of storytellers:
Denise McCormack (Host & Emcee), Jim Cyr, Andy Pollack, Avern Williams, Catherine Moore, Kristin Pedemonti, Carin Bonifacino, and Mike Agranoff.
Note: Recommended for adult audiences. Some stories unfold in layers and may include mature subject matter.
