Scranton Shakes is a nonprofit, government-recognized 501(c)3 organization founded by a board of local community members and theatre professionals hailing from the Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) region. ?It all started in 2011, when Scranton native, Michael Bradshaw Flynn conceived the idea to organise a free public performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream in Scranton's historic Nay Aug Park.??Nearly 1,000 people made their way to the park to enjoy an afternoon of theatre. The production team was thrilled with the response and determined to continue, thus, the festival was born. ?In 2015, after a few successful summers, Jonathan Stephens, Rebecca Azenberg, and Joseph Daniel joined Michael Bradshaw Flynn to form the festivals first official Producing team. Their combined expertise in the arts industry allowed the organization to expand its programming exponentially and move into a new phase of free theatre-making.?Since then the festival has continued to grow year by year.
