Fringe Theatre Adventures Executive Director Julian Mayne will resign from the organization, effective June 30, 2012. Julian served as ED for six years.

In a statement, Sam Jenkins, President and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Fringe Theatre Adventures Society, said:

Julian’s six year tenure with our organization has seen the successful stewardship of new opportunities, new growth and continued theatre evolution. I am proud to have been involved with an organization with such a dynamic and creative executive director, and I am certain that FTA is stronger today for Julian’s influence.  […] 

Over the past year, we celebrated our 30th festival where attendance skyrocketed to over 100,000 tickets sold. We re-invented our theatre season to better serve our stakeholders and the community around us. We continued to improve our service delivery for clients of the TransAlta Arts Barns.

From everybody at Theatre Alberta: we wish Julian good luck and many successes in his future endeavors!
