Table For Two
The Restaurant Plays
The 52nd Street Project is a non-profit organization that brings inner-city
children from the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood together with professional
theater artists to create original theater. Wha’ Happen is a production of our
Playback program, in which kid actor/playwrights are taken away for a
weekend in Wareham, Massachusetts (very close to Cape Cod) where they
write a play. Their adult actor/playwright partners then write “answer plays” in
response. For the final production, which you see here tonight, the partners
perform both plays back-to-back. All of the kids involved are veterans of the
Playmaking classes which were adapted for the Project by Daniel Judah Sklar
from his book Playmaking: Children Writing and Performing Their Own Plays.

Special Thanks
We’re extremely grateful to Peter, Helen, and Christopher Randolph, who
made their lovely home in Wareham, Massachusetts available to us over the
Columbus Day Weekend. Thanks also to Anita Flanagan for her help with
costumes, Vanessa Valdes for her sound advice, and Mother Crafton, Seth,
Clarence, Wendy and the rest of the great staff at St. Clement’s.
The 2002 Two-On-Twos
In the one-on-one’s, a single kid is paired with a single adult.
Now you can see two kids perform a play written by an adult and
directed by another adult. Theater to be announced.
