​
Hi. I was introduced to theatre and Fringe in my hometown of Edmonton. I wouldn't call myself an avid theatre-goer, as I'm more on the gaming and cosplay side of arts & culture :D But like many things for me in Sault Ste. Marie, with Fringe North at first I was just a curious event attendee, and gradually wanted to help out more with this fledgling community initiative. I've since moved away from the Sault to continue my community planning career, but am still happy to contribute.
