Anchorless Productions
Our students will never be held down. They are Anchorless.
Our Mission
We are a non-profit theatre company that aims to show young adults and children with developmental disabilities that they will never be held down. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to young adults with developmental disabilities to express themselves and grow through theatre. The foundation of our company stems deeper than just a production; we strive to develop self-confidence, expression, and essential life skills in each of our students. We care about our students and unite them with typically developing peers to create a safe learning environment. Our focus is on creating progress, growth, and friendships.
October Student Spotlight
Thomas Leon
Thomas is a sophomore at Mira Costa High School and a very involved member in Anchorless’s Saturday Drama Classes and productions. He has performed previously with Anchorless in 2023's Peter Pan and 2022's Newsies, and is also a committed participant at our weekly Drama Classes.. Thanks to his time at Anchorless, Thomas has become confident in his acting skills and stage presence. His advice to new Anchorless students and volunteers is to have fun and let loose. As a part of our tight-knit Anchorless community, Thomas loves the sense of inclusion and purpose that our rehearsals and classes provide him.
October Volunteer Spotlight
Kate Valeriano
Kate is a junior and member of the choirs program at Mira Costa High School. She performed in Finding Nemo as the moonfish and is currently volunteering for The Spongebob Musical. Kate’s favorite part about rehearsals is learning the songs and dances, because they keep students engaged and display the cast’s hard work. Her reliability and attentiveness make her an incredible volunteer who is always ready to lend a helping hand. Kate encourages new members of the Anchorless family to make the best of their experiences by stepping out of their comfort zones. Through her time at Anchorless, Kate has learned to not fear making mistakes, and now embraces her errors as opportunities for growth.
