Table For Two
The Restaurant Plays
The 52nd Street Project is a non-profit organization that brings children from
the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood together with professional theater artists to
create original theater. FORK IN THE ROAD is a production of our
Playmaking program. young people participate in an eight-week playwriting
course taught by Michael Bernard and adapted for the Project by Daniel
Judah Sklar from his book Playmaking: Children Writing and Performing Their
Own Plays. At the end of the course, each child is given two actors, a theme,
and a dramaturg/director who guides him or her through the writing of a play
during a weekend retreat in the country (Tyler Hill, Pennsylvania, for this
show). Tonight’s performance is the end result.
The Project is delighted to return to the Ensemble Studio Theatre, where we
have been performing since our inception in 1981. We gratefully acknowledge
the fact that if E.S.T. wasn’t here, we’d be nowhere.
