"Let's get this show started," yelled Murray Utas, Edmonton Fringe Festival artistic director. It was the battle cry every Fringer was waiting for, and Utas, in his brash, charismatic style, did not disappoint at last Wednesday's media call.

The 43rd annual Edmonton International Fringe Festival, running Aug. 15-25 along Old Strathcona's Whyte Avenue, has packed 216 indoor shows with more than 1,600 stage performers. And that's not counting the diverse street performers plying their craft on every corner.

While many shows are housed in traditional theatre settings, others include dance studios, bars, churches, schools, restaurants and tents. Yes, theatre is brought to the masses in every conceivable venue.

The Gazette cut through the massive list of shows to pluck out 24 gems developed by St. Albert-connected artists, directors, designers, producers, and stage managers.

¥ Sarah Gibson, an acting staple at St. Albert Dinner Theatre, also appears in Dick Piston, Hotel Detective in "Prague-Nosis." The Czech crown jewels have disappeared, and Dick Piston is searching for the international jewel thief.

Tickets range from $15 to $20 and artists receive every dollar. Tickets are available in person at Fringe Theatre Arts Barn, 10330 - 84 Ave., online at fringetheatre.ca or by phone at 780-409-1910.

https://www.facebook.com/john.pluto.16 Thrilled to be doing a Fringe show this summer with my friends, Afrah Potts and Lucas Anders, under the title of Nacho Pals Theatre. We had been occasionally hanging out for a couple months before, but it was really over nachos at The Next Act during last year's Fringe for me that the three of us really connected. And now, here we are, producing Dick Piston in "Prague-Nosis" this Fringe! https://www.facebook.com/Affie.Pie https://www.facebook.com/lucas.anders

Hey there,

I'm hoping to produce a Dick Piston play at the Edmonton Fringe this summer. Has a Piston play been produced at the Edmonton Fringe before? Just wanting to confirm it hasn't recently been produced here.

I was specifically thinking of doing Prague-Nosis, but my question above is for all Piston works.

Thanks so much.
