Making the Impossible, Possible

ATB Financial and Fringe Theatre go together like hot sauce and green onion cakes. Like a cold drink and a hot summer’s day. Like an Outdoor Performer on a ladder and a chainsaw on fire. Like…well, you get the idea.

From standing-O’s to oohs and aahs, this partnership is a true testament to ATB’s unwavering commitment to fostering community and nurturing the transformative power of the arts.

“The Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is an important part of our summer and brings new energy to the city each year. With strong community support and commitment to the arts, this is one of the most beloved festivals in the world – and that’s why ATB Financial is such a long-time fan and the Lead Festival Partner of the Fringe for 11 years,” says Curtis Stange, President and CEO, ATB.

Whether you’re grooving to eclectic musical stylings of local acts on the free ATB Outdoor Stage; bearing witness to the death-defying antics of a fire-eating, chainsaw-juggling, hand-standing Outdoor Performer in ATB Park; soaking in the chill vibes of the ATB Community Patio as you kick back and take in the sights and sounds of Festival; answering online clues in hopes of winning the ultimate Fringe experience through the ATB Golden Ticket contest; or leaping to your feet in appreciation of a sold out hit onstage in the ATB Westbury Theatre; one thing is true: ATB is there to make the impossible, possible.

“ATB’s impact can be felt across the Festival experience,” says Murray Utas, Artistic Director of Fringe Theatre. “We continue to elevate artistic experiences, bring community together in celebration, engage Volunteers, and plan for the future of Fringe thanks to ATB’s deep and meaningful investment. Relationships like this are what make Edmonton a vibrant place to live, work, and play. ATB powers Fringe, and Fringe powers creativity.”

“At ATB, we believe in the art of the possible, with each day bringing with it the chance to provide our clients with personalized solutions and expert guidance to meet their goals. Thank you for your support and enjoy the shows!” exclaims Curtis.

Thank you, ATB, for 11 incredible years. Here’s to many more!
