A block party on her street was the catalyst for creating a puppet poem performance on her front porch in Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn where she lived at the time. City of Hamburgers, a children’s book by Mike Reiss, is about young protagonist Jeffrey who yearns to hear stories about his grandmother’s life in Hamburg, Germany rather than the tired fairytales that children are usually offered. West worked with dozens of friends and collaborators to build a 10-foot long stage, to create two dozen hamburger puppets and to compose live music to accompany the show. It was a hit on the block. Noticing that City of Hamburgers was so well-received, West founded Alphabet Arts collective. She enlisted the assistance of friends and neighbors to help build a website for the collective and to apply for grants. After receiving a grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council, the show did a small tour at public libraries in the area.
