Electric Theatre Company (formerly known as The Northeast Theatre) is the Mayor's pick this year to host a party celebrating the arts in Downtown Scranton. This is the party of the year, a midsummer masquerade. Black and white attire is required, but creative interpretation of black and white is encouraged... anything from formal wear to black jeans and t-shirt. Prizes will be given to the most creative takes on black and white. Gorgeous sequined and feathered masks are provided each guest, and the party includes a fabulous buffet of food and beverage by Vida Tapas Bar, live music by Trio Barocco and Cuban Tres, clowns, buskers, acrobats, plus dance music by NEPA's top deejay, Conor McGuigan, and more.

Who
Trio Barocco: a classical trio of violin, cello, and flute, the group will provide walk-in music for the event. The trio is based in Tunkhannock.

Cuban Tres: these three young musicians from Cuba will get your blood stirring with their evocative renditions of original, folk, and tradition Cuban music.

Zuppa del Giorno: the Theatre's American commedia troupe just returned from performing in Italy, and will liven the evening with shenanigans, acro-balance; and the Brothers Marx will make an exclusive appearance

Conor McGuigan: a member of the Resident Artistic Company, Conor is the founder of Test Pattern Gallery and the region's best deejay, bringing parties alive with an eclectic mix of the world's most danceable tunes.

Vida, a Tapas Bar: is the hot place on Washington Avenue to enjoy the exotic and the familiar in Spanish inspired cuisine. They provide the interactive buffet of gloriously unusual and delicious fare.

Sponsors
2007-08 Season Sponsors include: ServiceMaster by Griffing, Patsel's, Everything Natural, Bold Gold Media, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, Lackawanna County Council on Education and Culture, and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
Sparks & Feathers, Party of the Year

Each year, the Mayor and his wife Donna choose a not for profit arts group and host a party. This year, in part because The Northeast Theatre is changing its name, they chose Electric Theatre Company. And the folks at the Theatre have taken the Mayor's choice as both as an occasion to honor him, and a challenge to themselves; they aim to make it the best party Scranton has seen in years. The name of the event is Sparks & Feathers! and it is described as A Midsummer Masquerade. Those attending are required to dress in black and white, but are thereby encouraged to interpret that dress code in whatever way their whim may take them, from donning formal wear to black jeans and t-shirts. (Prizes will be awarded to the most imaginative interpretations.) Each partier will receive an elaborate mask covered with sequins and feathers to help move the evening into high gear. There will be food, entertainment, and dancing. The party starts at six on July 19th at the Electric Theatre Company, 326 Spruce Street on the second floor in Downtown Scranton.

Vida Tapas Bar and Lounge on Washington Avenue is providing the buffet and beverage. Walk-in music will set an elegant tone with Trio Barocco, an ensemble of violin, cello, and flute from Tunkhannock. The music will get hot with Cuban Tres as these three young women from the beautiful isle play lute, piano, clarinet, and guitar to accompany their singing of Cuban songs, traditional, folk, and original. The music continues as Conor McGuigan, NEPA's champion deejay, flips vinyls in an eclectic mix of thoroughly danceable tunes. Throughout the evening, red nose clowns, acrobats, buskers, and zannies keep the party full of surprise.
