Red brick and stone facades, an underground aqueduct, original maple hardwood floors, and an exposed rock wall at the base of the mountain all lend a distinct architectural ambiance to the complex, which throughout its history has been a place for innovation and fabrication using the most innovative technology of the day. Often compared to Dr. Suess, Salvador Dali, and M.C. Escher, Stabin's work is a world unto its own that defies description. His work is an homage to the arc of art history from the influences of centuries-old Japanese watercolor print artists to contemporary graphic arts. His work is inspired by many facets of his own life including his family, an interest in the connection between man and nature, water and the water’s edge. Don't miss the Children's Gallery, Projection Room, Victor's Turtle Series and Cafe Arielle. a restaurant/bar with an underground stream visible from the dining room as well as a stunning outdoor patio - The Avant Garden. True fun for all ages!
This is next door to Stabin's new restaurant. Go early, browse this great art space and have Victor sign a book for you. See some very unique art and then grab an awesome meal!

Noted in National Geographic Traveler for its superb acoustics, the 1881 Opera House was an important stop on the old Vaudeville circuit. Today's schedule is diverse, from folk, rock, classical, and jazz. Recent renovations include a new steel roof, sound system and theater seats. Relaxed, intimate and all seats have a great view. The Opera House is located in the heart of Jim Thorpe's historic district, just a quick stroll to pubs, restaurants, lodging and shops.

We saw John mulaney and Pete Davidson at the fm Kirby center and it was absolutely amazing. The staff did a great job of getting the line out of the cold while the early show finished. Although, due to their quick turn over they did not have time to clean the theatre between shows and it was covered in trash and spilled food, so that was unfortunate. It was also quite bizarre that they made everyone put their phones in cases. There was someone who got around it, security looked right at her on her phone and said nothing, so I guess it wasn't that important that the phones be put away.
