Our 52 Run Crew is taking on the Brooklyn Half THIS SUNDAY 🏃‍♀️💛 and we are SO ready to show up for them. We’ll be posted up around mile 7 on Flatbush Ave (look for the 52 signs & a group of people being rowdy) to cheer everyone through, then heading to Wild East Brewing after to hang, celebrate, and refuel together. If you’re one of our runners, send this to your people so they know where to find us- and if you know one of our runners (or are just part of our community), come through!! it’s going to be such a good day 🤩 also… we’re in the final stretch (literally) and doing one last push on fundraising 💥 every mile our runners have trained for is supporting the Project, and it really means sooo much. if you’re able, consider donating or sharing their pages, you can find the link in bio 💛 let’s get them across the finish line in every way!!! #Team52BKHalf #52project #runthisone #brooklynexperiencehalfmarathon

We’re thrilled to congratulate Project alum Natalie Musteata on her Academy Award nomination for Two People Exchanging Saliva ✨ Natalie was once a Project Kid, and it is amazing to see what our members go on to create in the world. Moments like this remind us exactly why we do what we do!! 🤍 Her bold, inventive short has been widely praised on the festival circuit and is now recognized on the industry’s biggest stage. If anyone in our community, or within your networks, is an Academy voter, we hope you’ll consider supporting Natalie’s film. And even if you’re not, you can watch and share the film on YouTube and help spread the word! We are so proud. Always cheering you on, Natalie 🥂 Swipe to see Natalie during her Project Kid days ✨ #52ndStProject #TwoPeopleExchangingSaliva #ForYourConsideration

Join us THIS Friday, February 20 at 7:30PM at the Five Angels Theater for SAY THAT AGAIN.

Stage Combat usually belongs to summer around here. This year, we decided winter could handle it. Our young people have been learning how to fall, fight, and trust each other onstage. Now they’re ready to show you what they’ve got 👊 We promise it only looks dangerous. Come see TAKE DOWN this Friday, Feb 13 at 7:30PM. Come in from the cold and watch it go down. It’s free 🤩 Link in bio 👆🎟️ #52ndStreetProject #StageCombat #TakeDown #NonProfit #HellsKitchen

As the year comes to a close, we’re thinking about everything that’s happened onstage and off at The 52nd Street Project. The moments that are easy to see, and the ones that quietly shape our young people long after the lights go down. If you’ve ever been to a show, you know it’s hard to put into words. And if you haven’t yet, we hope you will. As we head into the new year, your support helps keep this work free for all our young members! If you’re able, consider making a year-end gift. The link to donate is in our bio. Thank you for believing in the Project! 💚 #SeeItToBelieveIt #52ndStreetProject #YearEndGiving

At The 52nd Street Project, we spend our days making theater with young people — helping them write their own stories, take creative risks, and discover what they’re capable of onstage and beyond. We can talk about the magic all day… but you really have to see it to believe it! ✨ This Giving Tuesday, your gift (matched up to $10K!) will help us upgrade our very scrappy livestream setup — which started during the pandemic and has been held together by tape and good intentions ever since. Better equipment means families who can’t attend in person can still watch, our kids can revisit and celebrate their work, and we can preserve these moments for years to come. 💚 Thank you for helping our kids be seen — clearly, proudly, and always with heart.
