Adelaide Fringe welcomes new Board member

Adelaide Fringe has announced the appointment of Emily Farrell to its Board of Directors. Farrell brings a globally informed perspective to Adelaide Fringe, shaped by her career in law, industrial relations, government relations, and public policy in Australia and the United States.

A proud Fringe-goer and lifelong arts supporter, Farrell developed her love of performance as a cast member of the Adelaide University Law Revue from 2014 to 2017. She continues to nurture this passion as a regular (and nostalgic) audience member.
