Six degrees of Separation from YPC

A few years ago I was out with some YPC alums that were home for the holidays. They were living in LA at the time. And they were joking about how they would play "Six Degrees of Separation from YPC." They said it was easy to pick any famous TV or Film star and draw a connection to YPC. And then they threw out a couple of names to prove the point and make the YPC connection.
At the time I thought that was crazy. But as we get older as a company; and more and more alums are working professionally -- I have found that YPC is well represented.

I just saw a promo for Devin Kelley's  T.V. show "Chicago Code" on Fox TV -- it begins airing in early February.
I am always so thrilled when I see a YPC alum doing so well professionally. And really amazed at how many YPC alums are working professionally in Film, TV, Theatre...
The list is quite impressive...
 Nick Swardson--T.V. Film and Stand -up,
 Paris Remillard, Seth Numrich, Stephen Anthony all are currently doing shows on Broadway,
 Matt Koskenmaki composes music for T.V.--(Survivor, The Apprentice, American Choppper, Big Brother) and film--'The Fighter"
 Tim Hedberg is the story editor for Project Runway and Real World,
 Suzy Michaelson created and developed the T.V. show "Food Budda"
 Myles Bender-VP at Focus Features,
 Josh Hartnett--Film.

And that is only a partial list!! Wow!!!

Next time you go to see a play or watch T.V. or see a film--there's a great chance you'll be seeing a YPC alum!
