Here’s what last year’s attendees had to say…
“Too many excellent performances to choose a favorite. I’m in awe at your ability to fill a room with performers who can showcase the best of the creative works of your members!”
~Cathy Starnes, Ph.D.
“We were able to applaud the achievements of our colleagues and to hear the music that filled their hearts and minds become manifest under the brilliant staging and musical direction of Rebecca and the outstanding actors and singers she assembled.”
~Ruth Broyde Sharone
It was a room filled with high levels of creativity and experience. I enjoyed the opportunity to get feedback on my work and to hear other’s work presented so professionally.
