MOORESTOWN, NJ — The award-winning, non-profit Moorestown Theater Company (MTC) will continue its 24th Season with its fourth-annual ‘Penguin Project’ production of “Disney’s High School Musical JR.” four times at First Methodist Church (FMC), 446 E. Camden Avenue, on these dates and times:
Wednesday, April 22 @ 6 PM Thursday, April 23 @ 6 PM
Saturday, April 25 @ 7 PM Sunday, April 26 @ 2 PM
Reserved-Seat Tickets are available online for $13 per ticket until three hours before ‘Curtain Time’ (when we have to close down to print seating lists for that performance) or at the door one hour before each curtain time (where they are $15, so buy ahead of time!). The musical will run approximately an hour and 30 minutes, including intermission, and it is appropriate for audience members of all ages. Come celebrate the 20th Anniversary of this Disney musical with our ‘Penguins’!
The Penguin Project is a nation-wide program, with 50+ Chapters in 25 states, where neurodivergent students (the ‘actors’) play all of the lead roles and neurotypical students (the ‘mentors’) support the actors by singing and dancing in Ensemble roles. MTC has the first, and still, the only chapter of the Penguin Project in New Jersey.
In “Disney’s High School Musical JR.”, MTC’s 40-member Children’s Cast of 10- to 21-year-olds, including 20 ‘artists’ and 20 ‘mentors’, will bring to life familiar characters like ‘Troy’, ‘Gabriella’, ‘Sharpay’, ‘Ryan’, and the rest of the ‘Wildcats’ of East High School. They will sing such great songs as “Bop To The Top”, “Get ‘Cha Head In The Game”, “What I’ve Been Looking For”, “Stick To The Status Quo”, and “We’re All In This Together”, among others.
The Production Staff for “Disney’s High School Musical JR.” incudes Producers Mark Morgan and Carol Ann Murray, Director Susan Mauer, Vocal Director Jaclyn Valenziano, Choreographer Stacy Brophy, Costume Director Thom Sirkot, Props Director Amy Evangelisto, Technical Director Harrison Kutalek, and Stage Manager John Wells.
In 2025, MTC presented 69 performances of 15 productions by 581 performers, and in its first 23 Seasons, MTC presented 1,137 performances of 251 productions by 10,536 performers.
MTC, which still has 12 more productions in its 24th Season this year, which are listed on its website, has received these recent awards and highlights:
– February ’26: MTC partnered with Holy Cross Academy to revive their musical theater program
– January ’26: ‘Excellence In Ensemble Work’ Award presented to the Cast of “Mary Poppins JR.” at the iTheatrics Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, GA (our first ‘Ensemble’ Award, and 11th overall, after seven ‘Acting’, two ‘Music’, and one ‘Dance’ Awards)
– November ’25: MTC presents “Something Rotten” as its 250th Production near the end of its 23rd Season
– June ’25: ‘Twink Lynch Organizational Achievement Award’ by American Association of Community Theater at its national Theater Festival (AACT Fest)

Uyen (“Winn”)
Khuong immigrated to the U.S.
from Vietnam in
1980. She is the founder and the executive director of Action
Together New Jersey (ATNJ). Most recently, Winn was honored for the
New Jersey State Governor’s Jefferson Awards in the
Founder/Innovator category. For her organizing work, she was a
recipient of the We Are EMILY Award from EMILY’s List, and was also
awarded the Community Service Award from the American Muslim Council.
Winn currently serves on the Steering Committee of Rising Stars at
the Eagleton Institute and former Governor Murphy’s Diversity and
Inclusivity Council.

Winn
was a speaker at the 2018 and 2019 Women’s March, and the
2018 March for Our Lives. Her media appearances and published
work have appeared in outlets including
The New York Times,
WNYC Radio, PBS Newshour, New
Jersey Globe,
InsiderNJ, and NJ.com.
The
Philadelphia
Inquirer
named Winn “N.J.’s current Alice Paul” due to her tireless
organizing work. She is considered the patron saint of Vote by Mail
having developed its maximum use throughout the state. She is also
responsible for the widespread use of ballot drop boxes in every N.J.
county. Winn’s latest project, The
New Jersey Civics Handbook,
is a guide to the voting process for teens and young adults, a group
that votes at the lowest rate. Each year there are 20,000 newly
registered 17-year-olds and Winn plans to mail the Handbook
to each of them so they can get the civics lesson they didn’t get
in high school. The tattoo on Winn’s left arm says it all: “She
persisted.”

Tickets are $25 per person and
can be purchased at our website..<a href="https://jgbfundforthefuture.org/2026/01/30/tickets-on-sale-now-for-2026-celebrating-womens-voices-event/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">jgbfundforthefuture.org/2026/01/30/tickets-on-sale-now-for-2026-celebrating-womens-voices-event/</a>
