Situation Project Students Visit The Play That Goes Wrong

300 Situation Project students attended The Play That Goes Wrong. In addition to attending the show, students from MS 343 took over running the theater for the day. Students shadowed crew members before, during and after the show to see what it takes to make a Broadway show run.

According to a 2014 report released by the office of the city comptroller, 28 percent of schools in New York City do not have a full-time certified arts teacher, while an additional 20 percent of schools have neither a full- nor part-time certified arts teacher. More than 42 percent of schools without these teachers are located in the South Bronx and Central Brooklyn, despite these neighborhoods only having 31 percent of all NYC schools.

By providing our partner schools’ students with exclusive access to experiences like these, we aim to close this opportunity gap.
