About
The Scranton Fringe Festival will take place in downtown Scranton, PA. Since its founding in 2015, Scranton Fringe has been dedicated to showcasing independent performing arts, transforming various venues—such as theaters, libraries, bars, and storefronts—into performance spaces. The festival features theater, comedy, music, film, dance, and other artistic expressions, fostering a vibrant and inclusive artistic community.
Scranton Fringe supports artists by providing a platform for new, bold, and experimental works. The festival is self-produced, meaning participating artists manage their own productions, while the festival provides venue access and additional support services.
