Making Our Way, an original performance based on the personal experiences of 15 international teenagers from eight countries, is a story of finding footing, forging new pathways, and discovering the power of friendship and family. GLOBAL TEEN PERFORMANCE PROJECT participants navigate hope and despair, and uncover magic and new life as they look to each other for help and answers. ABOUT GLOBAL TEEN PERFORMANCE PROJECT Making Our Way features original stories and performances created by GLOBAL TEEN PERFORMANCE PROJECT, students from Thomas Jefferson INTERNATIONAL NEWCOMERS ACADEMY, ages 14-19.
