What is the meaning of home? For Jared, a homeless NYC youth, it means surviving the streets on their own day in and day out. Each day they struggle to find the motivation to stay positive and attempt to connect with a city that fails to recognize them. The burden of living on the streets is even heavier as they watch other youth experience violence, abuse, betrayal and heartbreak. Will Jared find peace and a place to belong or will the streets claim his and his peers’ futures?
The Possibility Project is proud to present Home Street Home, an original musical drama written and performed by a diverse group of NYC youth involved in the justice system. For the past several months, their young people have gathered twice a week after school, talking, acting, dancing and singing about the most serious issues they face in their lives. Now, their hard work will be put on stage at the Frank Shiner Theatre at the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture.
