AND WHAT THEY SAY:

  • "You have no idea how honored I was to be invited along such extraordinary innovators. In a few short years you have the best companies I know coming to develop great work."
  • "“…few places allow for such freedom to work in an environment that's full of support and encouragement…”
  • "“These companies are contributing the true creative spirit and daring to the theater in these times of sparse funding. Encouraging them and fostering their work and interaction is an important goal; and you are extremely good at it.”"
  • “"A great experience … The real benefits of the week came from bringing people from all over the map (both the theatrical and geographical ones)...”"
  • "I solved and finished a play I have been working on for 3 years."
  • "It is rare to come across an environment where there seems to be a clear and unpressured focus on supporting artists at work and imagining that they will have the maturity and commitment to set and pursue their own goals."
  • "A new approach to development…. Great food and a very beautiful setting."
  • "...a vitally important and necessary space for companies and artists... that's only a stone's throw from NYC!..."
  • "... open, supportive, and extremely forward-looking..."
  • "...the most productive period I've had in years..."
  • " The energy of the place is amazing in every aspect! It was a great mix of companies & people in every way... "
  • "...what a brilliant concept."
  • "Personally as an actor, that collaboration with a playwright is what I've always sought and hoped for."
  • "Excellent meals. Excellent company. Total liberty. Overall environment - supportive and keen on the work being made.”
  • "Top notch in every respect – from whom else was there to the surroundings. Working alongside such other top companies was immensely more productive and rewarding than working alone."
