WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER These words from Disney’s High School Musical couldn’t be more fitting, as you’ll see when the Golden Isles Penguin Project performers bring this engaging story about breaking stereotypes to life on stage at The Ritz Theatre. The Penguin Project® was conceived to give children with special needs an opportunity to participate in the performing arts and our
Golden Isles performers and their mentors have wowed us with their shows every year! This summer’s production is High School Musical, Jr, where a basketball team captain and a brainiac break out to follow their
dreams by auditioning for the school musical. Shows take place at The Ritz at 7:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets can be purchased online at goldenislesarts.org or at the box office by calling 912.262.6934.
