The After the Storm Foundation was established to offer assistance and support not only to North Rampart Street Community Center but also to other already existing relief organizations currently serving the youth of New Orleans. The first step in the foundation's creation was the formation of a life-to-life link between the New York music, theater and film community and North Rampart Street Community Center. By getting to know its people and programs, the foundation is better able to assist community center staff members in setting up new opportunities for youth and buoying up already existing programs - by providing the needed funds and offering technical and moral support. After The Storm, now available on DVD, is Hilla Medalia's award-winning feature-length documentary film that follows the production of the musical Once On This Island at North Rampart Community Center from auditions through performances in New Orleans and New York and also includes the story of each young actor?s life in the wake of Katrina.
