MESSAGE FROM THE HONOURABLE MARY J . LeMESSURIER, MINISTER OF CULTURE

Over a very short period of time, The Fringe Theatre Festival has become one of the most exciting drama events in Alberta. During the nine-day festival you will enjoy a great variety of theatrical forms from experimental plays to the classics. Along with familiar , talents, you v i l l meet new writers and directors; and you will find that any place can become a stage - legitimate theatres, or restaurants or plazas or sidewalte. For the Fringe Festival is intended to be a soup to nuts menu of a l l the possible ways in which theatre can be produced.

This eclectic showcase was initiated by the theatre corrmunity of Alberta as a means to compare notes and ideas before the busy-ness of the fall season took over. I t has blossomed into an event which S t i l l serves in part as an artistic sounding board, but one which i s shared with a large and enthusiastic audience.

My congratulations to Chinook Theatre for their organizational s k i l l s and my best wishes to a l l the Fringe participants, particularly those who have come to Edmonton from other cities in Canada and abroad. I know this will be a memorable week for everyone concerned - the actors, the dancers, the writers, the musicians, the c r i t i c s , and a l l the people working behind the scenes. Above a l l the Fringe Festival will be memorable for the audience. I t will give us a store of ideas to think about for theatre is a communicating art, and this festival is a lively dialogue for us a l l .

Laurence Decore

Sincerely,

Mayor

Welcome Old Strathcona Post Office

...for the fourth time to Edmonton's annual celebration of the performing arts, the FRINGE THEATRE EVENT! Prepare yourself for nine lonnng days of drama, comedy, music, mime and magic — this year w e ' v e got 1 4 0 s h o w s , 1 2 theatres and 6 0 0 performances to choose f r o m . . .

Nearly every performing artist in Edmonton is involved and there are shows from Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal... Denver, Colorado... London, England... Kampala, Uganda... productions that will bring you to your feet cheering and some, no doubt, that will send you away longing for another careful study of this programme!

And that's the w a y it works at the Fringe. Chinook staff and volunteers have put the festival together, but no artistic judgements

have been made about any of the, shows. All productions at the Fringe are created and developed by the artists themselves — and you are the final judge of their entertainment value. If you enjoy a s h o w tell your friends and tell the artists — if you don't, try again!

It's sometimes hard to believe that we have the largest theatre festival in Canada right here in Edmonton, but it's not so amazing w h e n you consider the high quality of all our professional theatre companies, the boundless enthusiasm of our amateur and student groups and the ongoing concern and support of our municipal and provincial governments. And, last but certainly not least, the adventurous spirit of you, our audience...

Welcome HOME!

Brian Paisley Producer

Tips for Fringe Goers ^-A_ W i t h so many shows to choose from it will pay off to »"> study the programme listings and schedule carefully before you begin. Many of the productions have split performance schedules and you may be able to catch a show at different times or on several different days. Each s h o w is presented once a day only and always in the same venue.

A, There are NO ADVANCE TICKET SALES at the Fringe, /-"A but to try and avoid absolute chaos this year the artists will be selling their tickets ONE HOUR BEFORE PERFORMANCE TIME. You'll get a ticket or programme for admission and you'll be able t o relax before the s h o w knowing y o u ' v e got a guaranteed seat. And if a show is sold out, you'll be able t o move to another venue w i t h some time to spare. _A All ticket revenues go directly to the artists. The Fringe h\ itself is supported by government agencies, foundations, private companies and individuals — and your generous consumption of our liquid refreshments!

american buffalo David Mamet ABOP Theatre Edmonton, Alberta A modern American classic. No really, Mamet can write. The story takes place in a cluttered |unk shop, where we find the owner (Don), his gopher (Bob), and an obtusive third character called Teach planning t o rob a man of his coin collection. As the story progresses, the trio's ineptitude as

burglars becomes obvious and soon the pride, the egos and the determination of the men take the play to its searing, violent climax. American Buffalo is a comedy about violence, and a play about action w h e n very little action takes place.

Howard Brenton/David Hare/Trevor Griffiths/Brian Clark/Steven Poliakoff/Hugh Stoddart/Snoo Wilson Alan Edwards Edmonton, Alberta A sensational and disturbing play, LAY-BY was written by seven of Britain's leading political playwrights and made its debut at the 1 9 7 1 Edinburgh Fringe. Based loosely on an actual case of rape and indecent assault for which a man was convicted, perhaps unjustly, and sentenced t o eight years in prison,

the play is a brutal, jarring look at some prevailing attitudes toward w o m e n and sexual assault, and the degradation and destruction that follow f r o m these attitudes.

The PARADE begins at 1 0 : 0 0 A M at the Southside Shopping Centre and the BAND begins at 1 0 : 0 0 A M at the Gazebo in the park. The Parade winds its way through Old Strathcona, d o w n Whyte Avenue t o meet up w i t h the Band as it approaches the Gazebo. Come and hear the Old Strathcona T o w n Band perform the definitive version of everything they perform. The sound is terrific!

Since November the sterotyped, commedic characters have become second nature
