OUR MISSION

At Quirky Notions we believe in the power of play. We look to ignite the spark in young people and community members. We strive to break down the borders we have put up around each other. We endeavor to work with communities to help them explore the world around them through the power of theatrical and artistic expression. We believe that theatre is most powerful when treated as a forum for discussion to enact social change. Through theatre skills workshops and high-quality performances our participants are offered an opportunity to learn positive skills such as confidence, empathy, self-efficacy, and compassion. We attempt to assist communities in learning about important health and social topics while providing the opportunity to feel empowered and to have a platform to express themselves. We believe that everyone deserves to have a seat at the table and that true advocacy is supporting others to use their voice to enact change in their own communities.
