The show, to be presented by the 52nd Street Project, pairs kids from Hell's Kitchen with theater professionals to create one-act plays, in which both kids and mentors perform.
The plays will be directed by Jonathan Bernstein, Maria Goyanes, Leslie Kramer, Davis McCallum, Rick Meese, John Sheehy, Felix Solis, Sarah Cameron Sunde, Maureen Towey and Nicole Watson. Composer Patrick Barnes will provide music.
The 52nd Street Project was founded in 1981 by actor/playwright Willie Reale in response to a deepening need to improve the quality of life for New York's inner-city children.
