A Note from our Director - Penguin Time is Here!!
The Blue Bridge Penguin project is having a final call/meeting for anyone interested in participating in ANNIE,Jr. The meeting will be held on Saturday Aug 23 at 11:00 am at The ARC on Hamilton Road off Highway 17 in Yulee.
Mentors, Artists, and Volunteers are asked to attend this day of of information, possible rehearsal times, and show dates. You’ll be learning our “Don’t Stop Believing” dance, playing a few theatre games, and singing a song or 2 from the show.
Rehearsals will not be starting until September, but this time period gives everyone a chance to check conflicts, etc. We are so excited to see everyone and “play”!
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 young performers with disabilities to explore their creative talents.
All the roles will be filled by young artists with developmental disabilities and are joined on stage by a dedicated group of “peer mentors” - young performers without disabilities who have volunteered to work side-by-side with them through rehearsals and through the final performance. The Penguin Project demonstrates that the special challenges of a disability should not handicap anyone’s ability to participate in life’s experiences. Questions? email boxoffice@bluefiretheatre.org
We’re hoping to get at least 10 artists so we can proceed. We are so very excited. If you are unable to make this meeting or have questions please email us at boxoffice@bluefiretheatre.org
Thank you so much.
Ann Walsh
