_Theatre Lawrence Penguin Project
What is the Penguin Project?
The Penguin Project is a musical theatre production that casts youth aged 10-21 with disabilities in all roles. Each Youth Artist will be partnered with on-stage Peer Mentors of a similar age and interests.
Theatre Lawrence is one of 50 nationwide chapters engaging in this project, created by Dr. Andrew Morgan, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Pediatrics and the former Head of the Division of Child Development at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. The Theatre will use the expertise of local artists, special education professionals, and support from the Penguin Project Foundation.
