Apex presents Moana Jr. (Penguin Project)

Apex Performing Arts Studio expands the horizons of any young person with an interest in the performing arts.  After several years of successful musical theater intensives,  guest workshops in the school system, rave reviews and sold out shows the studio opened its first location in the Ponte Vedra area to provide opportunities for young people who exhibit creativity, discipline and passion to be provided with a set of skills and experiences which improve their own growth as artists.  Apex Theater Studio is not-for-profit educational center with 501c3 status.

Disney’s Moana JR. is a musical adaptation of the 2016 Disney animated film, bringing the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui.

Lewis Auditorium

Apex Theatre Studio Inc. will present its second annual Penguin Project production, Moana Jr. on Saturday, July 29th and Sunday, July 30th at 2:00 p.m. at Lewis Auditorium on the campus of Flagler College. 
	Disney’s Moana JR. is a musical adaptation of the 2016 Disney animated film, bringing the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui to life onstage. This thrilling and heartwarming coming-of-age story follows the strong-willed Moana as she sets sail across the Pacific to save her village and discover the truth about her heritage. Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and camaraderie as both learn to harness the power that lies within. With empowering messages of bravery and selflessness, Moana JR. is sure to bring out the hero within each of us.
	Every year, across the country a group of young artists take to the stage to perform a modified version of a well-known musical. These productions are unique, however, because all of the roles are filled by young artists with developmental disabilities including Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and other neurological disorders. They are joined on stage by a dedicated group of “peer mentors” – children the same age without disabilities who have volunteered to work side-by-side with them through four months of rehearsals and through the final performance. By providing access to community theater, The Penguin Project demonstrates that the special challenges of a disability should not handicap a child’s ability to participate in life’s experiences. 
“Last year’s inaugural project, Aladdin Jr, was a transformational event for everyone involved,” remarked Ian Mairs, Managing Director. “The joy in the room was palpable from day one. This group of young artists, mentors, and their families formed a special bond,” continued Mairs. Running time is seventy minutes. Tickets are $22 General Admission.
