Sparks & Feathers - A Midsummer Masquerade
July 6, 2008
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 occaision 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.
