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.
This years’ show will be FROZEN JR.!
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. Attending this meeting does not obligate you to participate in this program.
We will provide information about the timeline, expectations of MENTORS, and how past productions have worked. This is the time to come learn about the project and ask questions. The Penguin Project is a NO COST opportunity for families…
