Mission
The mission of The 52nd Street Project, a community-based arts organization, is to bring together kids from Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan, starting at age ten and lasting through their teens, with theater professionals to create original theater offered free to the general public. By building on the core experience of accomplishment and collaboration, the Project fosters a sense of inclusion in a place where the children belong and where their creative work is the driving force. Through long-term mentoring relationships and exposure to diverse art forms, the Project seeks to expand the children's means of expression and to improve their literacy, their life skills, and their attitude towards learning.
About
Here are some of the highlights of an eventful and exciting 2018-2019: The Project produced 27 performances of 12 productions engaging 153 young people, aged 9 to 18, in our innovative writing and performance programs. Additionally, 307 professional theater artists volunteered their time and talent to assist the young people in either writing a play or performing one. Project performances brought in over 3,200 audience members. The creation of our youth development survey for Project members has been completed and implementation is ready to begin in the new fiscal year. The survey will help us measure the impact of our programming in areas such as resilience, attitude toward learning, sense of self-worth, and other qualities related to youth development. 15 teens completed the Teen Ensemble program, our largest cohort in the history of the program. The Ensemble took their culminating production on the road to perform in San Francisco and Bolinas, California. Our Instant Set, which served us for 25 years, was retired to make room for our new set, Fiveys House, with modern features including the ability to reposition and even flip our flats vertically, making it possible to place doors and windows in a wide range of configurations. 100% of our graduating class (20 seniors) graduated from high school. The number of alumni enrolled in college and receiving $1,000 scholarships as part of our Ron Black Memorial Scholarship Fund continues to increase, with 39 receiving scholarships for the 2019-2020 academic calendar (compared to 31 the year before).
