Experience Gettysburg Community Theatre's Penguin Project, that pairs youth with special needs/disabilities with youth without special needs as their peer mentors who help them throughout the production from auditions to final bow together and also create incredible relationship building and bonds through the process. GCT's Penguin Project performers with special needs, peer mentors, staff, and parents will express how this program has helped them and they will even give a special performance during the workshop, followed by Q&A time. Penguins may not be able to fly, but our penguins’ spirits certainly soar on stage through the love of theatre arts!
