This month, a fresh batch of newcomers began our 8-week Playmaking program. At
the end of the class they will be whisked away to Kent, Connecticut for a weekend in
which they will fashion 10 brand new plays featuring your favorite Project adult actors.

SAVE THE STARDATE: MAY 7, 2001
The 52nd Street Project is a non-profit organization that brings innercity
children from the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood together with
professional theater artists to create original theater. Talking Shop is a
production of our Two-on-Two program, in which two of the Project’s
more seasoned kids are matched with two adult volunteers (one
playwright, one director) and given the task of creating a short play.
After the writers presented their contributions, the actors and directors
traveled to Dutchess County earlier this month to rehearse the plays
over a three-day weekend. Tonight’s performance is the final 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 that if E.S.T. wasn’t here, we’d be nowhere.

Special Thanks
We’re grateful to Curt, Jamie, Eliza, Tim, and the rest of the staff at The
Ensemble Studio Theater for making their theater available to us.
Maria Tucci, Alice Provenson, Stephen Perpeluk and Terry Fitzpatrick,
and Derek McLane and Wendy Ettinger graciously allowed us to use
their upstate homes for three tumultuous, but fun-filled days.
