52nd Street Project Presents MAKE IT SNAPPY: PLAYS IN A NEW YORK MINUTE, Beg. Tonight
The 52nd Street Project makes a difference in the lives of countless Hell's Kitchen (Clinton) kids by pairing them with theater professionals who mentor them through the creation of original theater. For its One-on-One series, the its cornerstone acting program, the Project takes a group of ten kids out of town to a country retreat for a week in the summer. Each child is assigned a playwright who is charged to write a play specifically for that child. The plays are rehearsed over the course of the week and performed informally for the community in the retreat setting. Upon returning to Manhattan, the plays are performed at the Project's Five Angels Theater (789 Tenth Avenue, 2nd floor, NYC), supported by professional designers and crews who volunteer their services.
The results of this year's Block Island One-on-Ones, Make It Snappy: Plays in a New York Minute, will run tonight, July 19-21. The evening comprises ten fully realized mini-musicals, each featuring original music by Eric March. Performances will take place tonight and Saturday, July 19 and 20, at 7:30pm; and Sunday, July 21 at 3pm. Admission is free, but reservations must be made in advance at 212.642.5052 or www.52project.org.The kid performers include Ezekiel Albarron, Jayda Camacho, Kai Ceniza, Brooke Fraser, Stephanie Macias, Timmy Miller, Matthew Orozco, Tyleek Mark Powell, Christin-Delaine Gavriella Tetteh and Damian Tineo.
