Different Strokes! Performing Arts Collective was formed at the intersection of art and activism and consistently calls into question the social norms and quiet acquiescence that allow racism, discrimination, and other forms of oppression to thrive. We appreciate the value of empathetic and thought-provoking theatre as a profound and effective means to social change and transformation. Founded in 2010, we have established and maintained our position as a forerunner in producing theatre that makes a difference in, and to, our community.
