Craze Night Club says goodbye
On March 23, 2014 at 2am, Craze Night Club closed its doors for the final time.
For six years, Craze provided a fun and safe place for all of the LGBT community. We provided the only true college night in the area, allowing all adult members of the LGBT community a safe place to freely express themselves without fear of persecution or judgment.
Craze has been a part of the LGBT community and the greater Erie area as a whole since our inception. We have hosted and sponsored events throughout Erie, including Marriage Equality for Pennsylvania and the Greater Erie Alliance for Equality and co-sponsoring Dramashop's staged reading of Dustin Lance Black's 8.
