More Info
The Penguin Project is a nationally recognized theater program for children with disabilities. Penguin Project shows are entirely cast with these children, plus they are paired with a neurotypical, age-matched peer mentor. The mentor helps support the Penguin artist in learning their lines, blocking, choreography, etc., and most importantly - they build relationships and develop friendships. You can find out more about the Penguin Project in general at penguinproject.org.
