 White Plains, NY - On May 20th, 2008, White Plains teens will take the stage in an original theatrical performance as the culminating event of the White Plains West Side Story Project.
The City of White Plains was selected as the first of five cities nationwide to replicate the Seattle West Side Story Project. The West Side Story Project has used the universal and timeless themes of the original play and its inspiration, Romeo and Juliet, to explore difficult issues creatively through the arts.
For the past few months, the White Plains West Side Story Project has created a venue for youth to explore critical issues including cultural diversity, youth voice, youth violence prevention, and youth-police relationships. This performance is a public presentation to the community of lessons learned, as told through all original work including song, dance, art, video, and theater. The White Plains Story features White Plains Youth, White Plains Police Officers, and White Plains Youth Bureau Staff, all performing together.
Please join us for this special performance of the White Plains Story on Tuesday, May 20, 2008, 7 pm, at the White Plains Performing Arts Center.
Tickets are required for this event and are available at no charge by calling the box office at 914-328-1600.
