The Ritz Theater & Performing Arts Center

Opened in 1907, The Ritz Theater was home to the famous saying “If you can make it in Scranton, you can make it anywhere!”

In the summer of 2016, the Creative Performing Arts Academy of NEPA- a vibrant arts program for kids, teens & adults- moved into the Ritz Building. CaPAA of NEPA has over 300 students who come to the Ritz for a variety of classes in theatre, music & dance in addition to over two dozen productions throughout the year. The Ritz Mainstage Players is a semi-professional audition-based company offering full musicals and plays for all ages here in this historic theater.
