"Just wanted to pass on my heartfelt thanks to you and the rest of the TRU team for the opportunity to take part in the TRU Voices series. The entire experience has been a wonderful learning experience, and has already brought the script much farther along toward a production than any efforts of my own, sitting out there in the wilds of Germany, could probably have ever done. Rest assured I'll be submitting pieces to future competitions."
~ Skot Davis, (The Ibsen Follies, TRU Voices '07) |
