Fundy Fringe Festival
112 Princess Street E2L 1K4 Saint John, NB, Canada

For the better part of a decade, Sarah Rankin has been the fearless leader of the Fundy Fringe Festival. During her tenure as Festival Director, she guided the Fundy Fringe through its formative years and turned it into a globally recognized Festival and a true staple of the summer theatre scene in Atlantic Canada. Now, as Sarah moves on to her next exciting adventure, she's passing the torch of Festival Director on to Drew Murdock, who has been a vital member of the Fundy F...ringe Festival team for the past three summers. With a plethora of experience in tech coordination, videography, photography and directing (and much more!), we can't wait for Drew's vision for Fundy Fringe 2021 to take shape this August in the heart of Uptown Saint John. Thank you, Sarah, for your many years of heartfelt dedication to this wonderful festival. Without you, Fundy Fringe would never have become the hub of creativity and inclusion that it is today. Everyone give Sarah a huge round of applause and a warm, FRINGE Festival welcome to Drew!

This morning, Festival Director Drew Murdock accepted a Community Arts Funding grant from Mayor Don Darling, members of the City Council, and the Saint John Community Arts Board. Fundy FRINGE was one of fifteen local arts & culture organizations to receive this generous grant, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for being selected! Stay tuned, FRINGE fans... big announcements about this summer's Festival are coming very soon!

These people are so awesome. We're sure that you recognize some friendly faces from the Festival back in August. Many of the Fundy Fringe volunteers opted to stay on and keep helping out with Saint John Theatre Company events this autumn, which just goes to show how amazing and dedicated they all are.
