PROJcast
Welcome to The 52nd Street Project’s podcast — The PROJcast! The PROJcast offers a behind-the-scenes view of the work of the Project as the kids create and explore theater as well as other art forms, such as song, dance, poetry, film, radio and more. Long term-mentoring relationships form the basis of much of the Project’s work, and these episodes will feature reporting, stories, performances and interviews with kids and adults.

The PROJcast theme song was written by Justin & Eric March (Twitter: @eriqmarch), and is performed by Rebecca, Nicole, & Marinda Anderson (Instagram: @marindaanderson, Twitter: @marindanderson).
Teens Reflections
Episode #63. Teens Are Looking UP, DOWN, ALL AROUND
Members of our current Teen Ensemble think back on their time with the Project and about what has gone into creating our latest piece UP, DOWN, ALL AROUND.
That’s why I joined up, because I want people to feel joy and happiness out of my play, too.
Berniece, age 10
