New and different each year!
One of a Kind returns to the Festival every year with new cast members and fresh stories! Come see why everyone is talking about this exciting, evolving series. Each year offers an entirely fresh cast of characters and never-seen-before tales for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
The world is a spectacular kaleidoscope of people with fascinating stories as unique as every one of us. One of a Kind is created around the true stories performed by the people who lived them; a talented, diverse group of extraordinary theatre artists.
The storytellers share their one-of-a-kind childhood tales filled with truth, cultural perspective, family languages, challenge, laughter and adventure. Using physical theatre, puppetry, music, movement and more, they offer an extraordinary exploration of the universal expression of storytelling. Children will recognize themselves and be inspired to share their own stories. Watch the video below.
