This article first appeared in The Fringers’ Almanac in 2022. We share it again now in honour of Brian “Father Fringe” Paisley.

We are so grateful for Brian’s vision, creativity, and leadership. He’s transformed the landscape of theatre in Edmonton and arts and culture across North America.

We chatted with Countries Shaped Like Stars director, Murray Utas, about his creative process, the team, and the kind of theatre that sweeps you up and won't let you sit on the sidelines.

Fringe Festivals bring together people who want to create and don't want to wait for anyone else to give them permission to share what they've got with an Audience. It's a crucial place for growing and experimenting as an Artist.

"I hope audiences will leave the theatre feeling a stronger sense of togetherness, believing in resilience, feeling hopeful and feeling more tightly connected to their community."
