Edmonton Fringe Theatre

Fringe Theatre Adventures Society (FTA) is dedicated to the creation of theatre that challenges and celebrates the cultural fabric of our communities and provides a home for developing new and emerging artists, audiences and forums. For over 27 years FTA has provided the infrastructure and support for the creation of hundreds of new theatrical works and now, as one of Alberta’s Major Performing Arts Companies, Fringe Theatre Adventures (FTA) continues to be an energetic company successfully maintaining three distinct initiatives. - FTA is the proud producer of the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival, the largest and oldest Fringe theatre festival in North America with an 11-day attendance of over half a million and annual ticket sales of over 92,000. - FTA presents a year round theatre season, a programmed series of theatre performances that reflect the energy and creativity of the Fringe Festival year round and the excitement of Theatre for Young Audience. Thousands of school children visit the theatre each year to enjoy the presentations. - FTA is at home in the TransAlta Arts Barns. This performing arts venue located in the heart of Old Strathcona hosts a myriad of events and currently serves over 100 rental clients every year. FTA is responsible for the fund-raising of 9.5 million dollars and the related renovation as well as ongoing operations and maintenance of this versatile city-owned performing arts facility.
