Arts & Culture

Erie has a thriving local arts scene that is remarkably diverse and cosmopolitan for a city of its size. Would you like to take in some world-class jazz? Try a Jazz Erie concert at the Erie Art Museum Annex, where the band is always hot and the price of a ticket is a fraction of what you'd expect to pay in New York City. Are you in the mood for a performance by an internationally renowned string quartet or -- just to mix things up a bit -- a Celtic music concert or an award-winning movie from the New York, Cannes or Toronto Film Festivals? Try the Performing Arts Center at Mercyhurst College, where the price of admission is always eminently reasonable, where you don't have to battle large crowds, and where the parking is ample and free. Want to lighten up your evening a little after the show and catch a nationally known comedian or comic act? The second show at JR's Last Laugh Comedy Club and Restaurant will do the trick.
