"I direct a lot of these readings. But the event last night (and the whole experience) had to have been one of the most helpful, well thought out, useful readings I've ever been a part of. You should be very proud of what you are doing for artists and theater in general." -Jeremy Dobrish, director (Hell Hole Honeys, TRU Series '06) "Wanted to say thank you for what turned out to be a great reading and a great experience. I had no idea what to expect.... Ended up loving the intimacy of the theatre and the panel talkback. My whole TRU experience has been wonderful so far. So thank you. A few possibilities have come up based on the reading. Will keep you posted." ~Peter Kellogg, writer (Chasing Nicolette, TRU Series '12) Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work on this incredible show, thanks to the panelists who provide ongoing insight, mentorship and support and especially to Cate [Cammarata] who has been the best partner a person could ask for. Last night was proof that TRU is a necessary entity for creating a supportive environment for developing great theatre. ~ Molly Morris, producer (My Life Is a Musical, TRU Series '12) |

This series made possible with the support of Don Nolan, The Montage Foundation, and the Leibowitz-Greenway Fund.
"What a wonderful opportunity the reading was for us ~ on so many levels. I can't thank you and your team enough for everything ~ from putting me together with such a fantastic team of producers... to having faith in us and accepting TO DANCE into the series... for all the help with auditions, tech, publicity, etc. ... and for the fabulous panel you gathered for the talk back after the event. Tibor and I are immensely grateful for your support and exposure ... for getting TO DANCE to dance! ~Kyra Robinov, writer (To Dance, TRU '16 series) "I can’t thank you enough - we had a great time and learned so much from the panel, as well as made some fantastic contacts." ~Sheila McDevitt, producer (Once Upon a Wind, TRU Series '08) "Filled with gratitude to you and to your TRU reading series.... The panels you conducted rank among the best in all my years in theater. Too often such events bog down in pontification. You managed to guide and focus the dialogue - and to keep it constructive. Liked hearing the techniques and perspectives of producers. All of them (and you) enlightened us in one way or another. As for VOLLEYGIRLS, we have more work ahead and are eager to do it." ~Rob Ackerman, book writer (Volleygirls, TRU Series '12) "Thank you for the opportunity to present At the Back of the North Wind in the TRU Voices musicals series. Not only was it a perfect venue to see and hear the show again from the creators' point of view, but also very instructive to hear what the "Dollars and Sense" panel had to say. Writers need to get the producer's viewpoint, and that we did - loud and clear. There were many new insights that came up, and I believe we all found it quite useful on our journey of getting North Wind from page to stage." ~Tom Tierney writer (At the Back of the North Wind, TRU Series '07) "The reading series at TRU fills a much needed void for writers new to the business of musical theatre. Most script-in-hand events are dramaturgical in nature, which is appropriate and often necessary and helpful. The TRU series, however, focuses on the business of producing new works. The experienced panel discusses the potential audience, suggests marketing angles, offers budgeting advice and generally addresses the challenges of getting the work on the stage. So many new writers ... are absolutely clueless about the business of musical theatre. What a gift the TRU series is! The generosity of the panel - experienced producers and marketers of new works - in taking the time to listen to the work and offer advice from the wealth of their experience is a warm and welcoming haven in what is often a cold and inhospitable reality." ~John Sparks, writer (The Arresting Dilemma of Mr K, TRU Series '09) Click here for a complete list of TRU Voices Musicals since 2000 |
