About Fringe™ Theatre Adventures
From its grassroots beginnings as Chinook Touring theatre in 1980, Fringe™ Theatre Adventures (FTA) is a community recognized for theatre evolution. FTA produces the Edmonton International Fringe™ Theatre Festival and showcases theatre year-round in our south side performance arts facility, the TransAlta Arts Barns.
Our Mandate
Fringe™ Theatre Adventures is a community recognised for theatre evolution. Fringe™ Theatre Adventures 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.
The Edmonton International Fringe™ Theatre Festival is a founding member of the Canadian Association of Fringe™ Festivals 
(CAFF). CAFF has established a set of guidelines and philosophies to which each Fringe™ Festival must adhere for Fringe™ Indoor Theatre:
- Participation in the Festival is determined by a non-juried process;
- Participants receive 100% of the ticketed box office receipts for their performances;
- Fringe™ Festival producers have no control over the artistic content of performances;
- Fringes™ should provide accessible opportunities for audiences and artists to participate.
