It is with mixed emotions that I announce the sale and closing of the Stage West - Scranton location in the coming weeks. It has been an amazing 8 years and an honor & privilege of serving my hometown Scranton community.
Throughout this time, I have met SO many countless amazing souls from coworkers, artists, agents, managers, and staff that have become true lifelong friends. Stage West (and formerly The Vault) was the platform that allowed me to pursue my passion and career in the music industry and has given me opportunities and experiences I could’ve never dreamed of. I felt that following the last two difficult years of the pandemic, that the business had run its course and it was time to move on. I was given an excellent opportunity that I had to seize. The Stage West brand will carry on at our State College location, as well as some other new exciting projects in the works here locally and regionally…
I do not know the future building owners or what they have planned with the venue, but I do hope it will be something great and positive for the community. As for us, we will be winding down the business over the next few weeks of the holiday season, with some final remaining events and announcements on the calendar, so please stop in and say hi, we’d love to see you! And from the bottom of my heart, a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has made the past 8 years so incredible! You are so loved and appreciated ❤️
