We asked what you’d do with a Free Day at The Ritz… and honestly, you made our job very difficult.

There were so many creative, thoughtful, and incredible submissions that choosing just one didn’t feel right. So instead of picking just one ourselves, we’re handing the decision over to you.

I would absolutely love this amazing opportunity to have a fundraising event featuring local theatre talent adult and teen in a one night broadway cabaret to help fundraise for my high school theatre program, The Wolfpack Players, to help raise money to afford to bring in professional theatrical artists from NYC to our school for master classes! Having this at a venue like The Ritz would be amazing! -Alice Y. Lyons

2. React with ❤️ to vote
I would host a Scranton's Got Talent show to benefit the NEPA Youth Shelter and create opportunities for all of the unstably housed youth in Scranton.
Everyone would be invited to enter. We'd have raffle baskets and everything. -John Rosengrant

A themed romantasy ball for the booktok girlies! -Ken Unstuck

Happy Monday! Use this time to remember that you don’t have to do it all, and you definitely don’t have to do it all at once.
