“Great place to see a movie on the big outdoor screen! I like screen 1 better than screen 2, but still awesome to have 2 screens at 1 drive in movie theater! Definitely recommend for a family night out or just a date night.”

“I would love to give this venue 5 stars. The staff and house manager were gracious and attentive, overall the service was excellent. The venue itself was beautiful and well appointed. The food was well made.Unfortunately, my interactions with the event manager and proprietor, Joshua, were less than desirable. On a positive note he was very responsive to my questions throughout my planning process. However, I felt they were curt. The larger problem came the day of with a scheduling error. We contracted the event space in January for a May bridal shower. The invitations were sent for a noon start time.When we arrived at the venue 45 minutes before the contracted time (12pm) the main door was locked. After a frantic moment we found a side door open. I entered to see if anyone was on the premises; there was not. I was told in an email from Joshua (who was not present) that I could come 45 min ahead of time so we started setting up my daughter's bridal shower. About 20 min or so into our set up the other proprietor, Paul, arrived and was visibly and audibly annoyed. He told me my event was not scheduled until 1pm but they would accommodate us. However, I was made to feel that I had made a mistake. Unfortunately, I spent the whole time at my daughter's bridal shower believing I had messed up the time.When I arrived home I pulled the contract up only to find that I indeed had the correct time, 12 noon. When I sent an email to Joshua voicing my concerns, I was simply told that they would let the staff know I wasn't satisfied with the event. To the contrary, I was exceedingly happy with the staff, especially the house manager, although I cannot remember her name; she was wonderful.So, a word of caution when planning an event here. Double check the time. My only mistake in this situation was that on the invoice the start time stated 1pm. I was so concerned with making sure the menu was correct I didn't even notice they had the wrong start time. Even so, I should not have been made to feel like I made a grave error.”

“The Scranton Cultural Center is an invaluable asset to the City of Scranton, Lakawanna County and The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. From major artists concerts, touring stage productions, comedy shows to local dance reviews the SCC is the ultimate multi-purpose facility for this area.

It is beautiful inside and out. It is loaded with history and symbolism. And plays host not only to amazing public entertainment and art production but also remains a Masonic Temple and Scottish Rite Cathedral.

Maintaining it's original purpose as well as it's commitment to Modern art and theatre production.

This place is a treasure.”
