We believe that providing a creative and flexible environment and a variety of tools\, allows children to open their minds to endless possibility. We value the concept of honouring the process rather than the product\, which invites children to develop a positive\, exploratory relationship with the arts\, and fosters positive self esteem. Without external pressure or influence\, children allow their own creative style to emerge and develop\, which is the foundation in which a true artist can blossom. \nDon’t have an AutismBC membership yet? Sign up to join our community today and enjoy exclusive benefits. \nQuestions?

Masse is the story of Faye Murphy\, an autistic lesbian who works at a queer cafe… and happens to have the power to summon and hide in a magical sensory room at will. When she becomes trapped in this room with her least favourite co-worker\, son of the founder and token heterosexual Chase McLure\, an unlikely bond forms\, and the two find themselves with a bit more in common than they’d thought. Faye’s Room is a moving exploration of neurodivergent solidarity\, intergenerational bonds\, and internalized ableism.  \nThe cast and crew include neurodivergent and disabled artists\, centring lived experience in every part of the process.  \nLearn more about the production in our AutismBC Connects: Q&A: Spotlight on Faye’s Room — Autistic Adults\, Stories — AutismBC  \nFull show & access info: \nGlitch Theatre – Faye’s Room  \nStarring: \n\nHailey Conner as FAYE\nMason Temple as CHASE\nSabrina Symington as MINA\nMarlee Michael Pearl as ARI \n\nCredits: \n\nProduced and presented by Glitch Theatre\nWritten by Alex K.
