This Trenton Life

Teens from Trenton ask whether the troubled city holds any promise for their future in a new play created with Passage Theatre, and performed in the revitalized Gandhi Garden. The Gandhi Garden was created in a vacant lot on Hanover Street by the SAGE Coalition, a group of street artists dedicated to the beautification of Trenton. "This Trenton Life" was performed there in June 2013 by Trenton Central High School students and graduates who were part of the after school drama club. "State of the Arts" talks to Shadura Lee, Jascynt Tulloch, Tamara Parker, and Unique Crawford, all of whom had just finished their freshman year in college. Also interviewed is David Lee White, the Associate Artistic Director of Community Programming at Passage Theatre and the director of "This Trenton Life." Produced by Susan Wallner.
