LEAP Performance Rescheduled for April 29

This year’s “LEAP: The Human Kindness Project” frames the high-stakes, cut-throat world of Broadway auditions as a microcosmic metaphor for life’s struggle to keep hold of one’s dreams while navigating the constant barrage of negativity that comes from others and from within.

Sponsored by Door County Medical Center, “LEAP: The Human Kindness Project” is a student-led, adult-facilitated program that gathers students from Door County high schools to address an issue of social change. Each year, the group collaborates with a team of local writers, musicians, actors, choreographers and directors to identify a societal issue, and works together from November to April to learn about and design a response.

The program culminates in an original creation of music, dance, multimedia, spoken word and theater through which the students express their approach to the issue, share their ideas for a solution, convey the educational material that brought them to that conclusion, and challenge the audience to shift their own perspectives.

The public performance is scheduled for April 29, 6 pm at Southern Door Community Auditorium. Tickets are $15 for adults and free for students. For more information call 920.493.5979.
