Judge spikes photo ID requirement for Pa. voters

First Posted: 8/11/2014 An all-ages theater venue in downtown Scranton is closing after six years.
The Vintage, at 326 Spruce St., issued a news release today thanking its supporters, artists and patrons who made its work possible over the years.
&#8220;It is with heavy (but optimistic) hearts that The Vintage must announce that it will be closing its doors for the last time at the end of this month, August 2014,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;This choice comes after serious consideration and review of the venue&#8217;s resources, fiscal projections and leadership investment.
&#8220;The Vintage has primarily been governed under the direction of Conor O&#8217;Brien (performing arts/outreach) and Theresa O&#8217;Connor (visual arts/administration). Both individuals wish to express their deep gratitude to the public that has supported them and their visions for nearly six years.&#8221;
The Vintage&#8217;s planned programming for the remainder of the month will continue without interruption.
&#8220;Additionally, The Vintage invites patrons and artists, members of the community, and dear friends to celebrate nearly six years of history with a large sendoff event on August 30th (additional details to come. We cannot imagine a better way to begin a new chapter than with one last celebration held at the downtown venue.&#8221;
The statement continued, &#8220;There are many elements and collective projects that were developed at The Vintage that have and will continue independently. A notable seed that has every intention to grow is the core theater ensemble that was formed after The Vintage&#8217;s 2013 award winning 1960&#8217;s adaptation of &#8216;Pride & Prejudice.&#8217; &#8220;
