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.
March Student Spotlight
Julian Richardson
Julian is in 7th grade at Hermosa Valley Middle School. Outside of Anchorless, he stays active with soccer and baseball, and has fun spending time with friends and playing piano.
Julian performed in his first Anchorless Production, The SpongeBob Musical, in January and absolutely crushed it. He is a great listener and keeps his fellow castmates on task. On stage, Julian completely embodies his character and makes everyone on stage feel comfortable and confident. He advises new members of the Anchorless family to try their best, stay on task, and make new friends.
March Volunteer Spotlight
Eli White
Eli is a sophomore at Mira Costa High School. In his free time, he paints, draws, and volunteers at Resin art gallery.
In January, Eli made his Anchorless debut as a performance volunteer for The SpongeBob Musical. Eli has made an effort to befriend every one of his cast mates while staying attentive and maintaining a positive attitude. He has fond memories with all of his Anchorless buddies, but particularly reminisces over his wrestling lessons from Julian during rehearsals. Through Anchorless, Eli has become more confident in front of crowds and comfortable meeting new people. He hopes that new Anchorless volunteers and students will come to rehearsals with good spirits and an open mind.
