The last Thursday of every month is our open microphone night. Starting at 7:00 pm we invite all performers/artists of any medium to come and do a sampling of their work. All ages and experience levels are welcome!

Remember – open mics are on the last Thursday of every month and are 100% free to attend or participate in!

It’s about taking down the “metaphoric walls” which hold up the glass ceiling that have prevented so many from reaching the top. Throughout a male dominated Euro-Centric Art History, many marginalized artists  who were/are prevented the right to be included…in fact, many have been left out of history & it’s text books. THE GLADfresh MANTRA is one that is “clear” on this “leftover history”; it accepts and acknowledges the walls are a reality for many: 1. Racism 2. Classism 3. Sexism & the last but not the least( because it allows the other three to form the box to contain “other” in)…THAT 4th WALL IS: FEAR!

In the 21st Century we are “CLEAR” as to who, what, why, when, and where people were left out…it doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy LEFTOVERS!!! Beneath all the wrap there really is something worth savoring!!!So KEEP WRAPPING -word

Not sure you understand? Then come on August 6th and all will be made CLEAR!

THE V.I.P PASS

The V.I.P (Very Important Patron) Pass was created a few months ago and very few have taken full advantage of this unique and fantastic opportunity. The V.I.P Pass gives access to almost every single event for any given month! To assist with our 2010 summer budget and to ensure our regular (and hopefully soon-to-become regular) patrons we are starting a campaign to raise awareness about the V.I.P Pass. Here is how it works…

The Vintage Theater V.I.P (Very Important Patron) Pass gives you entrance to almost every event, in addition to 10% off at the cafe and special insider e-mail updates! Each V.I.P Pass is good for one month and can be purchased at any time of the month for any upcoming month for $25.00 – ENTRANCE TO ALMOST ANY EVENT FOR ONLY $25.00!

Think of it this way….                                                                                                                                                                     An average Vintage Theater event ticket is $6.00, which means if you go to only five events you have already saved money, not to mention all you can save at our delicious cafe!

Please take advantage of this fantastic opportunity! Your purchase not only benefits you but allows us to further enhance our operations allowing more local performers/artists a chance to showcase and gain much needed attention for their amazing talents!

DO NOT DELAY – YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED NOW!  Our goal for this campaign is to sell fifteen V.I.P Passes by July 1st 2010! (Click here to see all the great events you could be a part of in July)!

To purchase yours immediately please either write to info@scrantonsvintagetheater.com                                         or call us at 570 344 6344
