jessejaehoon asked: Why are these people so wonderful?

Well, that’s a good question, Council Member Jesse. It could perhaps be because of all the relatability we embody!

toulouislautrec asked: Wait so why are we so hawt?

That’s a good question, Council Member Jake. It could perhaps be because of all the theater magic we posses.

A message from GYAC member Jesse and pals currently studying at NYU. Also, the designer of the GTS posters and co-designer of the Race Event poster. We miss you, Jess!

Congratulations YACs on a successful Race Event. This Year Goodman Youth Arts Council hosted a night of theater magic and social awareness around the award-winning play Race. Featured poets Jamila Woods, Malcolm London and Kush Thompson also performed at a workshop. The night was full of exciting dicussion, games, and food and tickets sold for $10 and went fast! Congrats again YACs!

Hey! Look at what some of the YACs helped put together in celebration of the Goodman’s anniversary! Go YACs!
