Teen Annex Autumn Extravaganza
Do you believe young people deserve support as they define their own sexuality and take charge of their sexual health? Do you value youth voice, bodily autonomy, and Reproductive Justice? Are you ready to speak up for sexual healthcare and education?
Now is the time to take action. Join the Annex Teen Clinic at our Autumn Extravaganza where you will meet likeminded, passionate sexual health advocates and learn more about the incredible work happening in our local community.
Together, we can ensure all young people have the resources they need to thrive, celebrate diverse and intersectional identities, and support young people’s ability to take charge of their sexual health.
Join us at the Autumn Extravaganza, where we will work together to build a future you can be proud of. It will be an evening filled with inspiration, rejuvenation, and of course, lots of fun!

Ghost Quartet is a song cycle about love, death and whiskey from Dave Malloy, the Tony-nominated creator of the Broadway hit “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812.” A camera breaks and four friends drink in an interwoven tale spanning seven centuries, with a murderous sister, a treehouse astronomer, a bear, a subway, and the ghost of Thelonious Monk. The story draws from several fairy tales and "ghost stories", including Snow White and Rose Red, Edgar Allen Poe's Fall of the House of Usher, and One Thousand and One Nights (commonly known as Arabian Nights). Cast members present the story and music as a "concept album" and accompany themselves on a wide variety of instruments, including keyboard, ukulele, guitar, mandolin, banjo, autoharp, dulcimer and more percussion instruments than you can count.
