Ptarmigan Music and Theatre Society is a registered, charitable arts organization with a mandate to deliver community arts outreach programs. Be kind.

Ptarmigan Arts exists to provide creative opportunities for our island communities through education and engagement in the arts with the mission of cultivating a creative community. We have been in existence for 25 years, and have a solid track record of coordinating and delivering successful, innovative and inspirational artistic programming for our communities in areas such as music, theatre, dance and the visual arts. We work to ensure our educational programs are accessible to all, and run those programs for people ranging in age from seniors to preschoolers. Our clients include schools, community groups, seniors’ centers, homeless shelters, and facilities that serve clients with disabilities and disadvantages. Ptarmigan’s work helps all members of our society, especially those who are marginalized due to isolation, poverty or health, to live healthier, happier and more engaged lives. Community Guidelines:

🎹 Music can bring us back to a person, a place or a moment we thought we had forgotten. In Music, Memory and the Stories We Carry, author, speaker and professional pianist R. Michael Langley combines familiar melodies with personal stories about belonging, first impressions and the difference between being noticed and being understood.

This is a relaxed gathering for engaging seniors and their friends in our community. Participants are welcome to share a memory or a response, or are equally welcome to simply listen and enjoy.
