The OK Trenton Project
Clip: Season 40 Episode 7 | 6m 24sVideo has Closed Captions
“The OK Trenton Project" is a new play based on a true story of kids, art, and gangs.
In 2017, kids worked with an artist to build a sculpture of a giant hand out of old scrap metal. But four days after it was installed on a corner in Trenton, NJ, the city removed it. The OK Trenton Project tries to figure out what went wrong, and what it says about the city. Passage Theatre based their new play on interviews with the kids, local politicians, reporters, gang members, and residents.
