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.

February Student Spotlight

Sydney Morris

Sydney is in 8th grade at Carnegie Middle School. She stays busy playing competitive tennis and acting in theater.

Sydney shined in her first Anchorless performance, The SpongeBob Musical. She stayed on top of memorizing her lines and completely immersed herself in her character throughout the show. She is thankful to have Anchorless as a welcoming space to pursue her passion for acting. She advises new members of the Anchorless family to embrace the nerves and to just go for it, because it will all be worth it in the end.

February Volunteer Spotlight

Alana Clarke

Alana is a junior at Mira Costa High School, where she runs on the track and cross country teams. In her free time, she stays active by playing soccer.

Alana performed in her first Anchorless Production, The SpongeBob Musical, this month. Her timeliness and commitment paired with her genuine compassion made her a stand-out volunteer. Alana enjoys the rewarding nature of theater, and cherishes giving her final bows with her buddies Joe, Erin, and Carlos. Anchorless has taught Alana the power of collaboration and teamwork, as she is extremely proud of the show her and her peers were able to produce. She advises new Anchorless students and volunteers to have fun, try new things, and be stress free on stage.
