SPOTLIGHT ON...

MASON HOMER

Starring in "She Loves Me" at LPC

Y'all! Las Positas College Actor's Conservatory is AMAZING and they are creating some really phenomenal work!

Mason Homer was a camper at CampYATC when he was 10 years old the first time and the last time when he was 18 years old, starring in the film "August". You can check that our here on YouTube. He is one of the sweetest, gentlest and most talented humans you could ever hope to meet and his art deserves to be seen and celebrated! We're so proud of you Mason! Go get 'em!

YATC is heading to the theatre on March 16th, you should join if you're free OR go see this amazing production on another night! Make sure and introduce yourself to Mason - he loves meeting YATC people! The Producer of the show, Titian Lish has also been on YATC's faculty far too many times to mention and she loves meeting you all as well!

SPOTLIGHT ON...

AVA NICOLE FRANCES

Appearing on "American Idol"

She really is living a dream! Competing on American Idol this Season is CampYATC Alumni, Ava Nicole Frances!

She first came to camp when she was 9 years old and (correct me if I'm wrong) didn't miss one camp along the way - literally coming to every single camp!

We adore Ava's big voice and even bigger heart and we're so lucky to say that she still comes back to camp every summer to be a camp counselor and workshop leader!

Ava - you are truly an inspiration to us all!

Check out Ava on American Idol!

HARRISON XU

Starring in "Extremely Unique Dynamic"

As a camper at YATC, Harrison was always funny, never shy and always making friends BUT we had NO IDEA that he'd go on to star in a FEATURE FILM that he himself created! Bravo to the entire team of "EUD" and BREAK LEGS on your Premiere at The Sonoma International Film Festival! WAY TO GO Harrison - We're so proud of you!

The film is screening March 21st at 7pm
