The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

On this episode of Seminars in Theater, Host Richard Pyatt interviews the cast and creators of "Walk Down Mah Street!," an off-Broadway musical revue. This satirical depiction of teen life in the ghetto was written by Patricia Taylor Curtis with her husband Norman Curtis, who composed the music. They join Pyatt in the studio along with two actors from the production, Denise Delapenha and Freddy Diaz. Cast entirely from New York City High Schools; the actors are all members of the Next Stage Theatre Company, a training program for young actors ran by Mr. and Mrs. Curtis.
