Ear Hustle: The Loop brings listeners into the Crossroads Youth Detention Facility in Brooklyn, NY, where a Drama Club program teaches improvisational theater techniques as a way to build connection and conflict-resolution skills. Additionally, Ear Hustle heads uptown to visit the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, where they close their doors to the public twice a month and invite a select group of parents and their children. Moms and dads, bussed over from Rikers Island in chains, are uncuffed upon arrival at the museum and reunited with their kids for a rare, emotional and often bittersweet visit outside prison walls.
