Settle in for an evening of live theatrical entertainment with a unique twist when you plan to catch one of Spotlight Youth Theatre's many productions. These are some of Glendale's most talented up-and-coming thespians who have a natural gift for various types of on-stage performances. Whether it's comedy, drama, musicals or a little bit of everything, this troupe puts on a regular series of plays and other types of revues all year long. These young and gifted actors and actresses are sponsored by various local, regional and national businesses, whose generosity makes it possible for them to take the stage.

In sports, there are winners and losers. That divide between the champions and everyone else also exists in the world of sports bars, too. In Glendale, don't miss your chance to experience Padre Murphy's, a nightlife venue that has consistently been voted one of the Top 10 sports bars in the country by MSN. From the minute you walk in, you can easily see why. The waitresses are not just appealing eye candy, but they prove that they can go the extra mile to make sure that your burger or meal is hot and the cold beer in your mug never runs dry. A plethora of flat-screen TVs ensures that you won't miss a minute of the big game, and the barkeeps do an exemplary job of serving up the best domestic and imported beers as well as perfectly mixing that adult beverage that you've been craving.
