SCC Youth Theatre Program’s production of Once Upon a Mattress
Jan 25 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

The Scranton Cultural Center’s Youth Theatre Program will
present Roger’s and Hammerstein’s Once Upon A Mattress

Director: Camille Reinecke

Music Director: Eric Petterson  |  Choreographer: Jackilyn Yamialkowski

PERFORMANCES: Friday, January 24 at 7pm; Saturday, January 25 at 7pm; Sunday, January 26 at 2pm

If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

 

Event Seating is General Admission, First-Come, First-Served, Held in
the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre of the Scranton Cultural Center.

A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” starring Barbara Eden & Barry Bostwick
Feb 1 @ 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Scranton Cultural Center presents

Barbara Eden & Barry Bostwick starring in
A.R. Gurney’s LOVE LETTERS

Reserved Seating | Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Theatre | $62.50-$42.50, $50.00 Post Show Meet and Greet Upgrade

America’s long running hit play – pulling your heart strings – and now starring Two Iconic Stars – Barbara Eden and Barry Bostwick! It’s the late A.R. Gurney’s most famous Broadway production – holding audiences spellbound throughout the USA. It’s a sure-fire sentimental evening of star power and supreme acting. Theatres all over America have been thrilling to TV’s I Dream Of Jeannie and the ‘Rocky Horrow Show’s’ Barry Bostwick – live onstage. Barbara and Barry deliver a once-in-a-lifetime evening. Don’t miss it!

A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters is a funny and emotional portrait about the powerful connection of love. Two friends, rebellious Melissa Gardner and straight-arrow Andrew Makepeace Ladd III have exchanged notes, cards and letters with each other for over 50 years. From second grade, through summer vacations, to college, and well into adulthood, they have spent a lifetime discussing their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, and victories and defeats. But long after the letters are done, the real question remains: Have they made the right choices or is the love of their life only a letter away?
