Unexpected Spectacles in Unusual Places
SNAFU or the SNAFU Society of Unexpected Spectacles, is a company of performing artists led by renegade theatre makers Kathleen Greenfield and Ingrid Hansen, joined by a rotating team of other glorious weirdos.
Our Westcoast Canadian theatre company creates challenging, meaningful, wild and free artistic spaces that share space, celebrate all bodies, and cultivate delight.
We bring people together to share laughs, share stories, share wonder, share darkness, share surprises. And snacks. Let's share snacks.
Is it a cult? Maybe a benevolent one.
…..don’t forget the snacks.
Currently touring shows in Canada & Abroad!
