It was a very special day with Mayor Rybak declaring, April 8th, "Rock the Cause for YPC" day in Minneapolis. So how did you spend it??
Here are some ideas:
Glamming up for Glitterball Tonight at the Grainbelt Brewery - watching amazing bands, DJ's, and some of our very own young artists singing 60's favorites, ALL TO BENEFIT YPC!!! We are so grateful to RTC for this amazing event!!
Taking a moment to pause, step back, and remember what makes YPC special: brave, bold, original work that gives young artists a voice in our community that we don't often hear.
Inviting friends and colleagues, who haven't seen a show yet and been hooked on all things YPC, to:
watch us on TPT Minnesota Originals, April 21st
come to our Spring Show SchoolHouse Rock Live where you can sing along on May 14th!!!
come to our film premier for The Boy Show on Monday, May 16th at the Riverview Theater FREE, 5pm Doors
Thinking back to your favorite YPC production moment...whether it be a song, a young artist, or a moment of a show that filled you with a feeling of pride, awe, and amazement at the clever/smart productions YPC does. A couple of mine are: Shelby and Sydney singing "Mama Didn't Raise No Fool" from But My Soul is Rested. And watching the cast of The Boy Show perform the "Feelings" skit with the stuffed monkeys (you HAVE to see this!!!). I could go on and on, there are sooooo many!
No one else does work like this!!! We need to celebrate it, appreciate it and do whatever we can to spread the word about it!! So what will you do today and everyday, to celebrate all that Youth Performance Company provides to you, young artists, and to our community?? I ask all parents, board, staff, YAC and friends of YPC to engage others today who may not know who we are, and help us spread the word about this amazing place. Thank you!
