About

A devourer of stories and travelogues, Fawnda Mithrush has kept herself busy for 15+ years in nonprofit leadership, collaborative projects, innovative and strategic programming, and event/project management. She moonlights as a podcast producer, event host/moderator, and culture consultant.

She spent eight years as head bookworm and executive director of LitFest: Canada’s only nonfiction festival, and previously played general manager for two well-loved Edmonton theatre companies at Theatre Network and the Freewill Shakespeare Festival. She has contributed arts reportage to the likes of EDify, Taproot, Edmonton Journal, Dance Current, ACUA Vitae and others. Most recently, she brought the first-ever Spiegeltent to Alberta, and established an industrial design competition as she worked with Explore Edmonton to reimagine its annual summer fair, KDays.

Born and raised in YEG, the city’s arts scene is very dear to her heart. To get on her good side outside of work, try bringing up dogs, F1, Japanese cookware, circus history, or the last book you read.
