Soar this summer on the spectacular rides at Kennywood Amusement Park, where you'll find amazing attractions for all age levels. For thrill-seekers, the park's roller coasters include the super-speedy Phantom's Revenge, the stratospheric Sky Rocket and The Thunderbolt, dubbed the "Ultimate Roller Coaster" and "King of Coasters" by the New York Times. Cool off on water rides like the splashy Pittsburg Plunge or raise your hackles to darker fare such as Garfield's Nightmare or the creepy Ghostwood Estate haunted house. Your little ones will love kiddie rides like the Elephant Parade and the pint-sized Lil' Phantom roller coaster, and there are tons of great places to eat when you need to refuel. The sky is quite literally the limit this summer at Kennywood. [less-]

After gaining national attention as a finalist on NBC's "Last Comic Standing", stand-up comic and Bigfoot enthusiast Jeff Dye has gone on to have his own Comedy Central special, host two MTV series, and serve as a designer on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". He is one of the younger headlining comedians on the circuit today, and with his boyish good looks and relatively clean (but cleverly twisted) sense of humor, Dye charms his way across the country. His hilarious true stories (like the time he stole Mike Vanderjagt's Pro Bowl jersey ... "twice") are the kind audiences remember -- and repeat -- for a long, long time. You can catch him these days on TV on "Better Late Than Never" and live when he headlines Pittsburgh Improv. [less-]

The 1990s was the age of Lilith Fair and the rise of the female singer/songwriter. Dreamy, ethereal voices ruled the airwaves and Paula Cole was one of them. If you've ever caught an episode of "Dawson's Creek", you'll know her from that iconic title song, "I Don't Want to Wait," but she is so much more than that. Peter Gabriel was the first to recognize her talents, taking her on tour with him before she even had a record deal. It wasn't long after that "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" became a sleeper hit, and one of the flagship songs for the newly popular adult alternative music genre. After a break to raise her daughter, Cole has returned to the music scene and added a touch of jazz to her trademark pop/rock sound. Catch up with her at Jergel's Rhythm Grille in Warrendale.

Watch a bawdy take on the Bard when "William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play" comes to the Pittsburgh Public Theater at the O'Reilly Theater. [less-]
