How's it going DCTYC members? I'm going to try to update this blog as often as possible, and once again, I encourage you to respond....unless you're too scared. Just kidding...kinda.
So, I've been rehearsing Night of the Living Dead; and let me tell you, people, it's gonna be fun. If you didn't see the play last year, I highly recommend it. If you did see it last year, not only is it worth seeing again, but there are some slight changes that are sure to interest you. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that.
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is opening up this weekend. Even though it isn't part of the young adult shows, I think all of you would enjoy it. It has a great cast, many of whom are my friends, so go see it.
I've been going over the surveys from Sept. 13th and I think they are an invaluable tool to get your opinions brought up to the theater. Am I wrong? What do you think? Too many questions? Not enough questions? Too many dumb questions? Not enough? Tell me.
Also, I asked the question on the survey "Would you be interested in writing reviews of DCT shows?" - many of you said "yes". Perhaps our preview of Night of the Living Dead is a good chance to start this up. If you are interested, let me know. Maybe we'll talk about it before the preview.
Oh, and your Dallas Cowboys are 3 - 0! (trying to stay random)
Yours in Dallas Cowboy greatness,

Recap of the First DCTYC meeting
This is a recap of the first meeting so that those who weren't there can find out what happened, and those that were there get to recall a fond memory from just a short time ago.
It was a dark and stormy night full of mystery.... just kidding. It was just a nice Thursday night of fair weather, but storms and mystery sound pretty cool. We started off by me forcing everyone to fill out registration forms. Oddly enough, nobody mentioned to me that this was their favorite part of the evening.
Anyway, we then had some pizza. There was a record total of 42 students at this first meeting, and thanks to the generous support of Cici's Pizza, everyone got their fill. After that it was time for a survey. Again, paperwork is probably not the most exciting activity for teens, but I assure you, the surveys are a great way to let DCT know what you think. So is this blog.
Finally, we were treated to workshop with Andy Long on improv. Many of the YC members have taken improv class before, so this was a great for them to apply their skills. I'm not sure if everyone who participated had improv experience, but it sure looked like it. ...It was fun!
That's about all we could fit into an hour and a half, so that's all that happened. But not to worry DCTYC members, next month's meeting (October 11th) is from 7:00-9:30. We get to watch a whole performance of Night of the Living Dead and then do a workshop on makeup with Doug Burks. So that's kinda awesome.
So long for now,

First Meeting
Well people, the first DCTYC meeting is under our belts and I couldn't be happier. Not only did we set a record with our meeting's attendance, but we are now representing over 24 different schools in the metroplex...and growing. We had 42 students register for this year's YC, and then we ate a bunch of pizza. After that, everyone filled out a survey, and we got settled for an awesome workshop on improv with Andy Long. This gave some of the students who have taken improv class a chance to shine. I, personally, was completely impressed with everyone who participated. We've got some great talent in our council.
This makes me look like I know what I'm doing, so thank you.
I've had a chance to go over your answers on the survey you did on Sept. 13th, and the results are very interesting. Remember, these anonymous surveys are a great way to ensure your opinions are heard. So is this new blog!
So if you've got something to say to me or the Youth Council about...well anything, this is another opportunity for you. Comments and questions are not only welcome, they are encouraged. Please try to keep language as appropriate as possible, hopefully, this will be read by many people. Keeping that in mind, please be as honest as possible and let me hear it...or read it. So if you have something to say about our first meeting, or about DCTYC in general, go for it. DCTYC ROCKS!
Yours in awesomeness,
Johnny Sequenzia
