The Buzz about YSP….
On September - 10 - 2010
I just got off the phone with a parent who said that her daughter may want to try YSP because she was not eager to go back to her old theatre school from last year. ‘How sad’…I thought to myself and then said it out loud unexpectedly – “Why? What do you think happened to [...]
Classes for kids and teens begin in
On September - 8 - 2010
17 days!!! Comedy, Improv, Improvisation, Acting class, character classes, Monologues and original scene work…these are just some of the words to describe what goes on at YSP! Live Improv shows for parents and friends to come watch at the end of many sessions allow the PLAYERS to practice performing. Kids and teens learn how to [...]
The teachers in our life
On September - 3 - 2010
There are teachers and then there are teachers. I visited my daughter’s amazing nursery school teacher this morning. It made me realize how special it is to be a ’ teacher to others’ children. It is something that takes on a life of its own once you say goodbye to the child and usher him or her [...]
Comedy, Acting, Drama – the stuff of politics
On September - 1 - 2010
I will try NOT to get political in today’s POST and focus on the 23rd season of YSP classes that are fast approaching. But will I say one thing…politicians running for Mayoral posts need to be aware and absolutely dead honest when it comes to caring about the ‘details’ when it comes to pontificating about providing a [...]
8 days until school starts
On August - 31 - 2010
It seems ridiculous that parents and children feel so completely opposite when this time of the year comes along. Parents are rapt with desire for all things ‘back to school’ and students are complacent, resigned and even moody (yes…moody!) at the thought of sitting in a classroom again. Alas- the annual right of passage is [...]
The Emmys, YSP and Glee…geesh!
On August - 29 - 2010
Fortunately, all the awards will not go to Glee! Although I know that many people like the show- we here at YSP want to reconfirm our commitment and our passion for all things spoken…We like the English language and in fact using various dialects and Gibberish in our scene work BUT if we sang during [...]
At least injuries don’t come with Improv
On August - 28 - 2010
So sorry to hear about the elbow injury of young baseball phenom Strasberg in the papers today. He deserves kudos for taking it on the chin and being positive about his recovery. I wish him all the best in his career. Makes me think about the liabilities surrounding Improvisation, Comedy and Acting classes like ours….there [...]
Baseball’s Blue Jays and YSP
On August - 27 - 2010
The next time you’re watching a baseball clip on TSN or actually sitting at the ACC watching a real game…Think of the possibilities of catching a home run ball in mid air! AHA! That’s the feeling akin to pulling off a well – crafted improv scene. Yes. That’s what an 11 yr old boy told [...]
