51. Teens Use Their MORE THAN WORDS

"This is a great place to help your kid build their development of who they are growing up to be." - Naseem, age 15. Our current Teen Ensemble has been working since September 2023, and they are ready to share their latest piece of devised theater, MORE THAN WORDS, this Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1, in our Five Angels Theater in NYC. In this episode, some of the Ensemble members reflect on the creation of the show, and on their time at the Project. Free tickets are available at www.52project.org and the show can be seen on our YouTube channel. - - - - - Project Members: Aengus, Amirah, Kassandra, Kaytie, Maria, Melanie, Naseem, Sarah, & Xavier.

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. - - - - - Connect with us!
