At the Scranton Cultural Center in Pennsylvania, children of all ages can experience the wonder of live performance. The Center’s Children’s Series offers a variety of shows for young audiences, from musical theater to puppet shows. A field trip program, recently expanded to include offerings for high school students, welcomes educators and students to school-day performances. At public audience shows, the Wiggles and Giggles program invites parents and children to share in pre-performance craft time.
The Center also hosts the Lamar Franklin Institute’s innovative Science Series, which presents science concepts in a lively and engaging performance format. Shows are available for pre-kindergarten through grade two and for grades three through eight. Schools, camps, and other children’s programs may also participate in A Day at the Cultural Center, which combines exploration of the building’s history and architecture with participatory workshops in the performing and visual arts. Additionally, the Center’s History Mystery Tour lets groups of any age explore the Masonic Temple’s storied history while learning about magic from the award-winning Damian the Magician.
