Youth Performance Company's Blog: May 2011
http://youthperformancecompany.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. Written by Jill Jensen Coghlan, YPC Board Vice-President. Today, I watched the ceremony at Ground Zero and the Pentagon. I reflected on the last 10 years of suffering and loss that many endured and cannot imagine the hole in many hearts that will never be filled. In the midst of it all was the Survivor Tree. It made me realized that We are Blessed! We are blessed with freedom and opportunity to explore and challenge ourselves and each other. Today, I looked at all that we are accomp...

Youth Performance Company's Blog: You are not alone.
http://youthperformancecompany.blogspot.com/2011/09/you-are-not-alone.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. You are not alone. A guest post by Brian Farrey, author of. With or Without You. By now, I hope you’ve heard about the suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer. And maybe you’ve also heard the story that after Jamey’s funeral, his sister went to a dance at school where the bullies in Jamey’s life chanted that they were glad he’s dead. Remember when you were told to just ignore a bully and they’d go away? Donate to the Trevor Project. An original drama about bullying and it’s increas...

Youth Performance Company's Blog: Life Without a Garage by YPC Board Member, Kari Xiong
http://youthperformancecompany.blogspot.com/2011/04/life-without-garage-by-ypc-board-member.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. Life Without a Garage by YPC Board Member, Kari Xiong. Life without a Garage. This morning, I was feeling rushed… frustrated that I couldn’t find car keys, frustrated trying to organize my work bag, frustrated thinking about the high volume of work waiting for me: planning committee meetings, phone messages, emails begging for thorough, intellectual responses, etc., etc. Finally, I’m ready, and set to go. Recalled it as I began this blog post. The truth is drama can be funny; havi...

Love To Love Acting: Mean
http://lovetoloveacting.blogspot.com/2011/02/mean.html
Love To Love Acting. Saturday, February 19, 2011. Mean opened last weekend to great. I encourage everyone to see it. It's an amazing show, and I think everyone should see this. Here. Is the link to the YPC webpage. Even if you're not planning on seeing it, you should at least read their blog. Because I believe it will really enlighten you on the kind of work we are doing. If you are planning on seeing it, great! But be sure to get your tickets soon, because we only have one and a half weekends left!

Youth Performance Company's Blog: MEAN a second time around
http://youthperformancecompany.blogspot.com/2011/09/mean-second-time-around.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2011. MEAN a second time around. My story got in! Huh, this scene too. Wow, this is the email I sent Rita, that one night. So why on earth would I want to return to a show like this? Didn't we just perform this in February? Why on earth would I come back to a script as personal as this? I thank everyone who was interviewed for MEAN, for being brave enough to share your stories with people who either can't or won't. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Canary in a coal mine.

Youth Performance Company's Blog: March 2011
http://youthperformancecompany.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Yesterday we had a spring clean at YPC. We sent out e-mails to encourage people to come in and help. And I know some folks were not available- because they were not on Spring Break or they were out of town, or had plans. But for those who responded and came in and rolled up their sleeves - I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for their willingness to give their time to help YPC. They have demonstrated by their actions that they really understand the "whole " picture. A speci...

Friday, February 25, 2011. Stand up, speak out, be free. Would young people in the US agree? Why do teens come to YPC? They come to YPC to raise their voices. They come to find a place where they can express themselves and are free to stand up for what they believe in. They come to share their lessons with others. They come to find others who regardless of background, religion or race share something with them. Why should you come to YPC? So whether you attend the performances of Mean this weekend. Writt...
