The Penguin Project welcomes all who want to be involved! The workshop and auditions are replaced with information nights that include the opportunity for youth and families to meet with the artistic team and learn a fun dance.
Artists (differently abled performers), Mentors (typically abled peers) and their parents are invited to attend of the two information meetings. During the event you can learn more about the program, meet the people you will be working with – and learn a fun dance!
Established in 2004, The Penguin Project has evolved into a National program, with Chapter sites throughout the United States. The program provides a supportive environment for children with disabilities to explore their creative talents. It has also demonstrated that participation in the performing arts has therapeutic value by enhancing social interaction, communication skills, self-confidence and self-esteem. The impact of the program has reached beyond the stage to create a social network for children who previously had very few friends and limited social opportunities.
“Our penguins may not be able to fly, but that does not prevent their spirits from soaring.”
Information events to be held on Septeber 25 and 26. You only need to attend one night.
