On January 13th, MAP families, volunteers, supporters and staff celebrated upcoming opening of our MAP Clubhouse with a potluck open house!

Since it’s inception THE MANTON AVENUE PROJECT have been lucky enough to receive free-of-charge space for our playmaking classes, Playwriting Weekends and performances thanks to the William D’Abate School and Moses Brown.

But we have longed for a home of our own, a place that would not only house our offices and classroom, but give the MAP Kids a place that they could come to throughout the year after school to work on their plays or their homework. A five-days-a-week MAP Clubhouse that belongs to them.

Well, our days of dreaming are coming to an end! On February 2nd we will be moving into our very own digs, thanks to the generosity of our friends at Olneyville Housing Corporation!! We are so excited!!
