NEW YORK – June 26, 2012 – Kevin McHale of "Glee" will join Oxygen’s “The Glee Project” as the guest mentor for episode five airing Tuesday, July 3 at 10 PM ET/PT. The episode will focus on the theme of “Adaptability” where the contenders have to acclimate to the many challenges placed in their path.

Previously announced “Glee” star Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) will follow McHale as guest mentor for episode six, “Fearlessness,” airing Tuesday, July 10 at 10 PM ET/PT. Darren Criss (Blaine Anderson) will return to “The Glee Project” for “Romanticality” week on Tuesday, July 31 and Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel) will come to set as the summer comes to an end for “GLEE-ality” week on Tuesday, August 14.
