In the 1880s, Jacob Riis took a camera into the tenements and dives of New York's Lower East Side, showing the world "How the Other Half Lives" in his famous book. Born out of a haunting photograph, this play delves into the world of Mullen's Alley, and the lives of a handful of kids who are ferociously determined to grow and live in spite of the many obstacles in their way. With wit, anger, and ingenuity, these immigrant children carve out lives for themselves as they interact uneasily with the intrusion of Riis and his omnipresent camera.
