Now in our 10th year, the Penguin Project at Clark Youth Theatre offers not only theatre, but also fun and friends! Artists with disabilities and their volunteer peer mentors gather each year to present a fully staged musical like Aladdin, Jr., The Music Man, Jr., Seussical, Jr., The Little Mermaid, Jr., or The Lion King, Jr.! No previous experience required, just a willingness to show up and participate in the fun. Weekly rehearsals culminate in a full performance in the early part of 2025 – informational meetings happening soon!

Artists and volunteer Mentors should be ages 10 to 23, and parents are very welcome to attend and get to know each other – we love our parent volunteers! During the 2024-2025 season, our Penguin Project rehearsals will be in person at Clark Youth Theatre. We can’t wait to see all of our Penguin friends thrive on stage!

For older Penguins, ages 24 and above, we are excited to begin our Penguin Player program in October 2024! See our website for more details!
