About the event
The Penguin Project is a national program that gives students with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as those with autism and other neurodiversities, the opportunity to fill all the roles in a musical production. We call these students our ARTISTS.
One special feature about the Penguin Project is that each ARTIST is paired with a MENTOR who will become their special person, assisting and supporting their ARTIST throughout the process. MENTOR opportunities are open to any neurotypical students ages 10- 21, interested in working alongside an ARTIST during this production. The Penguin Project is a NO COST opportunity for families to experience the joy of theatre!
This years’ show will be Little Mermaid, Jr.
Performances of Little Mermaid, Jr. will be on Thursday, July 10, Friday, July 11, and Saturday, July 12. To purchase tickets, click here.
