Open Mic is December 20 - special time with special guests!

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Writers' Collective will hold its next monthly Third Thursday Open Mic on Thursday, December 20 at The Vintage, 326 Spruce Street, Scranton. This installment will begin at a special time - 7:30 PM - and will open with a special program for local students, concluding with a very special visitor (from the south, not the north!) reading Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from Saint Nicholas."

At 8:30, the program will shift gears to the more traditional Open Mic Night format. While parental guidance is advised, all are welcome to attend and participate. There is no charge for admission, but donations for the support and upkeep of The Vintage will be happily accepted!
