DCTV To Hold Auditions For New Teen Talk Show
-- Washington, DC Residents to audition for Teen Talk DC


[DCTV] announced hat it will be holding auditions for their new show dedicated to expressing the views and opinions of young people between the ages of 13 – 18.

The mission of the teen talk show Teen Talk DC is to give young people an open forum to have open conversation about issues concerning them. By providing multi-media access, we give teens the opportunity to express themselves to the masses. Teens not only have conversations about issues affecting them, but they talk about issues affecting the entire nation. Our primary objective is to use Teen Talk DC to serve as a vehicle for change; the outlet provided aids our neighbors, future leaders, and most of all our young people in creating understanding and breaking down stereotypes about teens and their issues.

Teen Talk DC offers a valuable insight into the lives and difficulties of Young Adults, while at the same time helping them find the solutions to their problems. It is our belief that we can all benefit from this opportunity to explore and improve the communication between teens and parents or guardians. Teen Talk DC is hosted by Darrell Gaston, produced by Fred Kenner and shown on DC Public Access Channel DCTV.

Auditions for Teen Talk will be held on December 4th, 2008 at DCTV Studios located at 901 Newton Street NE, Washington, DC 20017 @ 6:00 pm sharply. Those interested in auditioning should request and application and reserved an audition spot by calling Fred Kenner @ 202 – 526 – 7007 Ext. 124
