We are a commnity of creative joyous children and youth, every day closer and closer to self sufficiency via the arts, strong support systems, inner strength, compassion, understanding of social justice, and belief in the reaity of today and the future of tomorrow and beyond.

BIG NEWS! Bienvenue! ACFFC Children’s Theatre Company
How better to celebrate 30 years of creating independent theatre — and local community — than by sharing the experience? With much support behind them, Mike Ford, Operations Director of Fringe Theatre Adventures, and local writer Patti McIntosh travelled to Jacmel, Haiti to spread a little bit of Fringe ... and support the founding of the ACFFC Children’s Theatre Company. Over a four-week period, the team collaborated with the Art Creation Foundation for Children (ACFFC), a non-profit organization based in Jacmel, Haiti to: build a stage on an empty field, design and create a backdrop, rehearse two traditional Haitian folk tales, write and rehearse a song and an original play about life at the ACFFC ... and fill that field with a very appreciative audience for the inaugural performance of the ACFFC Children’s Theatre Company. We are thrilled to bring all that work to KidsFringe » audiences. Bienvenue! ACFFC Children's Theatre Company to Fringeopolis! Throughout the 11 days of the Festival at the KidsFringe, 10 young artists from ACFFC will perform folk stories and vignettes about growing up in Haiti. Marty Chan, playwright and author of children's books, will assist in their development, along with playwright/storyteller Tololwa Mollel.
