Ways to support our work
The Misfits Theatre Company is a unique award winning and highly successful charity that champions the rights and talents of people with a learning disability.
We have provided creative workshops for over 20 years that help our members build confidence, make friends, and have fun.
“When I’m on-stage people can see who I really am. People can see the potential in me to be the star I am. I’m proud of who I am. My acting makes me feel in control of who I am and it brings out my qualities that were hidden and brings out my emotions. I like me, I like who I am” – Penny
Few things make The Misfits happier than when they can perform and share their lived experience, bringing the community together.
