I had such a lovely experience at the 2018 WordWave festival. A professionally run event with great actors and directors in a stunning venue. A truly magical night.

As if the joy of seeing my work brought to life wasn’t enough, the location is absolutely heavenly, the Boathouse Theater is like a little hidden gem, and the people involved with producing WordWave are extremely generous, enthusiastic, and sweet. I’ll never forget the feeling of hearing the reactions from the audience of wonderful locals gathered together to support new writers — I think I spent the evening a few inches off the ground. WordWave is a great experience for an emerging playwright.

A Festival of Story lit up the fall of 2016. The care taken to stage a reading of my play thrilled me to the core. Execution of the new script by the cast and director transcended my expectations, and the Valhalla Boathouse Theatre provided an amazing venue to bring the new work to life. My thanks to all involved with the festival who went above and beyond to make the playwrights feel welcome and at home.

What an incredible experience it was to see the talented actors and director bring my words to life onstage. The night of the production was one of the best nights of my life. I was so proud of the actors and grateful for the way they treated my work with such respect and enthusiasm. They brought their own artistic vision to my script and, by bringing the characters and their relationships to life, made it even better than simply my words on the page.
