The Project brings kids together with adult artists to create original work for the theater. The PROJcast offers a behind-the-scenes view of the work of the Project as the kids create and explore theater as well as other art forms, such as song, dance, poetry, film and more. Long term-mentoring relationships form the basis of much of the Project's work, and these episodes will feature reporting, stories, performances and interviews with kids and adults. The 52nd Street Project is supported the Altman Foundation and the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, and by public funds from New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts. - - - - - Connect with us!
