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 dedicated to the creation of theatre that challenges and celebrates the cultural fabric of our communities, with an emphasis on 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.
