Cut to scene: Two girls are fighting in the school lunchroom over a boy they both like. Trays go flying and punches are thrown until one of the girls is bleeding from a gash on her cheek.
Now: “Freeze!” Thankfully, this scene isn’t real. It’s the work of Urban Improv, a theater group that teaches youth how to think fast in realistic—and sometimes life-threatening—situations.

Families come together in the Fenway |
|
 |
Nearly 1,000 families with children make the Fenway their home. Many of these families live below the poverty level and have limited access to the most basic services for their children.
Fenway Community Development Corporation, with the support of Children’s Hospital Boston, has stepped into the void by developing playgrounds, launching an after school program and organizing holiday activities for families so children and their parents can form strong relationships with their neighbors and build a sense of community. These programs have served more than 400 children in recent years. |
