The All Stars Project (ASP) is bringing an exciting new vision to life at its 31,000-square-foot Center for Performance and Youth Development on West 42nd Street in New York City. Following a milestone celebration earlier this year marking the payoff of the building’s mortgage, ASP is moving forward with a revitalization project that will transform the space into a vibrant multi-nonprofit center for performance, youth development, workforce innovation and community building.
In a new behind-the-scenes video, ASP’s President-Elect Shadae McDaniel takes viewers on a hard hat tour of the Center, offering a glimpse into the transformation underway and the possibilities ahead.

As part of this new chapter, ASP is excited to welcome LEAP, one of New York City’s largest providers of in-school arts education, as its first major nonprofit partner in the revitalized Center. This partnership will create new opportunities for young people to experience the transformative power of performance.
With a reopening anticipated in early 2027, ASP recently launched Phase 2 of its $12.5 million 42nd Street Reimagining campaign, inviting families, companies and foundations to help bring this vision to life.
The revitalization also marks an exciting chapter in ASP’s leadership under President-Elect Shadae McDaniel, whose vision includes expanding the organization’s impact through innovative partnerships, alumni leadership and new opportunities for development across communities nationwide.
