"The experience was so inspiring. I was impressed with the creative commitment by all the participants, and that commitment carried me through to 7pm Saturday night on just four hours of sleep."

"This project exceeded my expectations in many ways. I went in hoping to be challenged in my writing — hoping to be forced out of a comfort zone in which I've recently become quite cocooned. Not only was I forced out of that zone consistently over the course of the full 48 hours, but I was challenged in unexpected ways. I felt fulfilled creatively and emotionally."

"The weekend in Denver reinvigorated me if only because it allowed me the freedom to not be self-conscious for 24 hours. And I laughed a lot!"

"I learned it's dangerous to awaken the sleeping bear of theater/performance hibernating inside me, because now he's hungry and pawing at my insides."

"I was moved by the workshop with the kids — it was meaningful to me to remember doing workshops like that with actors when I was younger and really looking up to them and their confidence and ability."

"The workshop was a wonderful opportunity to be of service to others and reminded me of how fortunate I have been to learn how to be open to play. Seeing my friends' warmth and the children's sense of joy was very special."

"I was adequately prepared for the weekend because I had no idea what to expect. Which was perfect."
