About the Penguin Project: https://kazoocivic.com/penguin-project/
Since 2004, The Penguin Project has given differently abled children and adults, “Artists,” a chance to perform and showcase their creativity. As needed, Artists are paired with Mentors who help them shine onstage. Our Artists are the stars of the show, stepping into the character, taking on lines, solos, and choreography. Meanwhile, Mentors, assist and support their Artists throughout the rehearsal process while performing side by side with the Artists on stage during the show, serve as understudies, and are an active part of our chorus. This pairing celebrates everyone and fosters friendship-building across all abilities.
