The Penguin Project of CWCT Tickets

The Penguin Project of CWCT is Wisconsin’s pioneering chapter of The Penguin Project, founded in 2015 as part of a national movement that pairs young performers with autism and other developmental differences to collaboratively create fully staged productions. Originating with Annie in 2015, this CWCT chapter has grown into a cornerstone of inclusive theater in the region, continuing to empower young artists through creativity and community.

As part of The Penguin Project network—now spanning roughly 53 chapters nationwide—the CWCT crew brings heartfelt performances to life on stage, guided by experienced directors, volunteer mentors, and a supportive community. The project emphasizes accessibility, artistry, and belonging, ensuring every performer has a meaningful role and every show is a shared celebration.

In recognition of its impact, The Penguin Project and its partners earned the 2017 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award from the Penguin Project Foundation, highlighting the program’s commitment to youth development and inclusive arts education.

Looking ahead, The Penguin Project of CWCT continues to stage ambitious productions in Wisconsin, with upcoming engagements that invite families and theater lovers to secure their seats and experience the magic of inclusive performance.
