New law in 2020: must be 21+ to buy tobacco and vaping

Wednesday, January 1, 2020

Amid concerns about the serious lung diseases and deaths associated with teenage vaping, on January 1, 2020 the age to purchase tobacco and vaping products is raised from 18 to 21.

Opinions are mixed about the effectiveness of raising the age, with vaping shop owners predicting that usage will not decline in the 18-21 population but revenues for shops will.

Lawmakers and educators expect that this will reduce the amount of products being sold in schools, as teenage users will no longer be able to get 18 year old classmates to make purchases for them.

Quitting vaping has proved to be just as difficult as quitting cigarettes. The state has established an app to help users quit vaping.

Dandylyon Drama announces Summer School Rocks! to kick off new SUMMER TEEN MUSICAL for Teens north of Seattle

Saturday, May 11, 2019

Founded in 2007 by Artistic Director (and local mom), Melani Lyons, Dandylyon Drama has grown into a sought-after source for bringing the performing arts into area schools through after school enrichment programs and school musicals.

This summer, Dandylyon Drama is proud to announce their brand-new Summer Teen Musical, with teens to take the stage. Kicking the new program off is the exciting rock musical Summer School Rocks!

Teens and tweens are invited to audition and participate in the production starting with evening rehearsals that run May 28 - July 18, 2019 with rehearsals 2-3 times a week to work around everyone’s busy summer vacation time.

Throughout the summer, Dandylyon Drama runs several week-long theatre camps in different locations in Shoreline for young performers ages 3-18.

Summer Stage is an opportunity to bring people of all ages together to learn, play, rehearse and perform together for the community. It also offers a unique chance for parents and their children to perform on the same stage while developing their skills and deepening their appreciation for live theatre.

"So often we have teens approach us after our elementary shows who love what we do!” says Lyons, 
“Some wish that our program had been available when they were younger. Many of them have great memories of their own experiences in plays and musicals and have ‘given up’ on the arts because they’re parents now. This is an opportunity for families to act together.”

Auditions are scheduled for Sunday, May 19th and Sunday, May 26th (3:00pm-5:00pm), with call-backs later in the week. Rehearsals run May 27th to July 18th (2-3 evenings a week) with performances July 19-21th.

Participation fees are $425 (for ages 10-18). Scholarships and Pay What You Can options available.

The Summer Stage production of Summer School Rocks! will be directed by Melani Lyons, with musical direction by Aaron Cadam Samuels and choreography by Sheri Lewis of Westlake Dance Center, with producer Shauna Eckhardt.

For audition requirements, audition registration and more information about Dandylyon Drama’s Summer Stage, visit DandyLyon Drama.
