East Coast fans who might have missed their opportunity to meet Melody Thomas Scott from “The Young and the Restless” during the show’s recent Fan Club Luncheon are in luck: On Tuesday, August 15, Scott will host two different one-night-only fundraising events for the Lucille Ball Little Theatre in Jamestown, NY, and you can join in on the fun!
Starting at 7:30 p.m., Scott will host the “Always Young & Restless: An Evening with Melody Thomas Scott” event at the Lucille Ball Little Theatre at 18 East Second Street in Jamestown. Scott will take the stage and reflect on her career as she shares personal photos and video clips of some of her most memorable Hollywood moments while interacting with the audience and answering their questions. Autographed copies of her memoir, “Always Young and Restless: My Life On and Off America’s #1 Daytime Drama,” will be available in the lobby before the event, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the theatre. Tickets are just $45.
For those looking for a more personal experience, at 9:30 p.m. “The VIP Experience with Melody Thomas Scott” includes a ticket to the theatre event as well as one to a special gala reception in Melody’s honor that will take place from 9:30-11:00 p.m.
Limited to just 65 tickets, the event costs $150 and includes premium seating at the Lucille Ball Little Theatre. Additionally, the 65 ticket holders will get to meet Scott one-on-one at the reception for photos and autographs. A silent auction featuring several pieces of unique memorabilia donated by Scott – including a script signed by several cast members from “The Young and the Restless” and an iconic wardrobe item Scott wore on the series – will also be part of the gala. Champagne and desserts will be served.
“An opportunity like this has never happened before for Little Theatre. A veteran television actress who has been part of our daytime TV viewing lives for decades has reached out to us and offered to come to Jamestown and present a show and a reception — all at her own expense and with all proceeds benefitting the Lucille Ball Little Theatre,” said Holly Weston, board president of the Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown. She added, “At a time when so many nonprofits are struggling with the financial aftereffects of the pandemic, we have Melody to help us through it, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
“I’ve admired Lucille Ball my entire life and am so looking forward to raising money for the Lucille Ball Little Theatre,” said Scott of her involvement. “It’s a great opportunity to both support the arts and honor Lucy, a legendary Jamestown native who’s kept the world laughing for more than 70 years. I always enjoy spending time with my fans who have been so loyal to me and ‘Nikki’ all these years.”
Fans of Melody Thomas Scott and “The Young and The Restless” who want to attend either event are encouraged to purchase their tickets early as they are expected to sell out quickly. Theatre seating capacity is limited to 400 people and only 65 tickets will be sold to the VIP Experience to guarantee every VIP guest has individual time with Scott.
Tickets to both events are now on sale exclusively at www.LBLTJ.com and will be held for pick up at the theatre box office the evening of the show. You can also purchase tickets by clicking here.
