Organization Description
| Mission statement | Penguin Productions unites youth leadership and adult mentorship to co-create theater and cultivate a healthy, equitable, and thriving future. We believe a healthy and equitable community begins with empowered, confident, thoughtful youth leaders. We work to make theater a more diverse and inclusive space and a powerful tool for social change through youth development and leadership, professional art and mentorship development, accessible programming, and cross-sector partnerships. Penguin Productions values equity, inclusion, and centering youth in decisions that affect their present and future. We believe that creative opportunities can strengthen community bonds, deepen relationships to place, and support the rich and diverse cultural wealth that our youth possess. We empower young people with the skills to integrate arts practices in all sectors of culture and society, and use artistic knowledge to both create great art and influence decision-making in civic, cultural, scientific, and community spaces. All Penguin programs are cost-free. Penguin supports professional opportunities in theater arts education, directing, marketing, communications, and development through internships and community partnerships. |
