As part of its 25th Anniversary Lively Arts season, Montgomery County Community College has teamed with Norristown's Theatre Horizon to present two performances of Pretty Fire. Written by Tony Award nominee, actor and playwright Charlayne Woodard, Pretty Fire is a funny, human and moving presentation filled with song, stories, faith and family. Set during the time of Jim Crow segregation laws, the play provides a window for the audience to view life from the innocent perspective of a child, played by Barrymore Award winner Cathy Simpson, who somehow sees the beauty of the world as she grows up, despite the hate surrounding her. The performance follows the West African griot storytelling tradition in which one actress plays many roles and …

Praise for a local theater company and the capture of the shotgun robber are just a few of the stories local media outlets across the Web are covering in Norristown.
The Pottstown Mercury is covering the ongoing saga of the proposed revitalization plan for Route 422, which includes the restoration of train service along the corridor. The plan has come under great opposition from the public, as it requires drivers to foot the $750 million bill through tolls. In the article, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission further outlines the plan with financing details, logistics and estimated numbers on potential train riders that opponents suggest have been inflated. Residents remain leery of the government's ability to guarantee the toll revenue will not be diverted to some other project. According to The Times Herald, Desmond Russell, 22, of Powell Street, was arrested for two alleged armed …
