Testimonials from Previous Participants:

"I especially appreciate the openness and honesty the group was able to achieve, without judgement or disparagement.  That was what made this conference so helpful. As Chad-Alan reminded us, we are  not alone and knowing that others in the theater community share our devotion and love for the arts as well as our worries and challenges was very reassuring and inspiring." - Dianne Beaulieu-Arms, Poison Apple Productions, Pittsburg, California

"I was totally amazed by the planning here and the wonderful offerings of the other members present;  this was my first time and I have to say it was a totally rewarding experience and I took copious notes and will be reviewing them and re-transcribing them in the next two days!  Wow!  Kudos to all who organized this and  specifically to Winston!  You had it all covered!  Wow!  Thank you!" - Richard Grieger, The Summer Place, Naperville, Illinois
