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.
January Student Spotlight
April Elms
April is 17 years old and attends South Torrance High School. Outside of school, she attends Friendship Camp and participates in Anchorless programs.
April is performing in this month's Anchorless Production, The SpongeBob Musical. Her impressive memory allows her to catch on to the script and choreography quickly, making rehearsals a smooth process. She is a caring, kind, and compassionate student who stays dedicated throughout the entire production. Despite her mobility challenges, April gives her all in all the dances and performances. She is extremely thankful for the opportunity to practice drama and dancing in a non-judgmental supportive, safe space.
January Volunteer Spotlight
Chloe Sparer
Chloe is in 7th grade and is passionate about theater and performing. She is also very active, playing beach volleyball and soccer in her spare time.
Chloe will be performing in her first Anchorless Production, The SpongeBob Musical, this month. As a new member of the Anchorless family and one of the youngest volunteers, she was nervous at her first rehearsal. However, she was immediately met with welcoming arms and comforting smiles. She feels as if she has formed connections that feel like she has known her peers for forever. Her ability to make friendships with different people has allowed her to thrive at Anchorless. Chloe advises new Anchorless students and volunteers to start memorizing lines as soon as possible because the show will come faster than it may appear. Thanks to Anchorless, Chloe has been able to think about people other than just herself and expand her creativity
