West Scranton Youth Center

Once upon a time, there was a railroad line — and the road to the underworld will start in Scranton this weekend. That’s how Geneva Tulenan begins the tale of 'Hadestown' when she steps onstage as the Greek god Hermes. The musical retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice will take the stage at West Scranton Intermediate School. A separate production will also be underway at Wilkes-Barre Area High School.

The building on Washburn Street, just blocks from West Scranton Intermediate and High School, will house two nonprofits. Youth arts and wrestling programs will begin in the Fall.
