““i choose BTN because the organization allows me the space to develop as a director, producer, author, and as an individual artist. BTN has enabled relationships for me with colleagues who inspire me, motivate me to continue seeking excellence, and encourage me to serve my community through theatre performance. BTN has provided contacts with designers, actors, and directors that have brought their work to quite a few of my theatres’ stages. mostly, though: BTN is my family; my colleagues here are a constant source of knowledge, encouragement, friendship, and positive energy.””
