SCC Youth Theatre Summer Camp Program’s production of “Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS”

The SCC Youth Theatre Program’s production of

Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS

August 22, 2:00 PM

Shopland Hall, 4th Floor

TICKETS: $7.50 in Advance | $12.50 Day of Show (Includes Fees) In Person or Online/Mobile Orders
——————–

Crazy, man – crazy! This charming, smooth, and adventurous stage adaptation is a celebration of Disney’s exploration into mid-century jazz in Paris. Cat-napped and abandoned miles from home by a dastardly butler with a hidden agenda, Duchess and her kittens, Telouse, Berlioz, and Marie – the smartest Aristocats in Paris – set off on a journey to reunite with their beloved owner, Madame. With the unlikely help of a jazz-loving group of Alley Cats, will the cats find their way home? Adapted especially for young performers, this musical includes favorite songs such as “Thomas O’Malley Cat,” “The Aristocats,” and “Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat.” This production of The Aristocats KIDS is sure to keep your toes (and paws) tapping!

Curtain Call

A Fundraiser for the Scranton Cultural Center

Thursday, April 27th, 2023 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm | Grand Ballroom

Honorary Co-Chairs:
Colleen Bender
Michele Conaboy McGrath
Tickets are $100 per Person | $125 per Patron (Please select the correct ticket type when purchasing)

The Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic is pleased to announce Curtain Call, a new, project-based fundraiser, designed to support the cost of fabricating and installing a new curtain in our Grand Ballroom.  The current drapery was installed in the early 1990s and was designed and fabricated by MTL Inc., located in Jessup, PA.  We are excited to be working with MTL once again for this project, but substantial funds are needed to complete the design, fabrication and installation as well as upgrades to the operating tracks and mechanisms.  Curtain Call aims to raise these much needed funds with a fun, innovative event hosted in the Grand Ballroom.  Entertainment will be provided by Picture Perfect Band, Daddy-o and the Sax Maniax and Ken McGraw, with a special appearance by the extremely talented young performers of the SCC Youth Theatre Program.  We’ll also host a silent auction while offering a delicious selection of heavy hors d’oeuvres from Constantino’s Catering and a premium open bar.
