The Smithsonian Institution asked Streetplay to help them out with their
2001 Folklife Festival, a celebration of the indigenous cultures of
societies around the world held every summer in Washington, DC. The 2001
festival featured New York City, and they realized that NYC folk culture isn't
what tourists see when they tiptoe through Times Square. The Smithsonian
wanted the real thing--a taste of an everyday New Yorker's lives and loves.
As any New Yorker will tell you, we know how to play.
