"Just wanted to pass on my heartfelt thanks to you and the rest of the TRU team for the opportunity to take part in the TRU Voices series. The entire experience has been a wonderful learning experience, and has already brought the script much farther along toward a production than any efforts of my own, sitting out there in the wilds of Germany, could probably have ever done. Rest assured I'll be submitting pieces to future competitions." ~ Skot Davis, (The Ibsen Follies, TRU Voices '07)

New Musicals Series

"Thank you for the opportunity to present At the Back of the North Wind in the TRU Voices musicals series. Not only was it a perfect venue to see and hear the show again from the creators' point of view, but also very instructive to hear what the "Dollars and Sense" panel had to say. Writers need to get the producer's viewpoint, and that we did - loud and clear. There were many new insights that came up, and I believe we all found it quite useful on our journey of getting North Wind from page to stage." ~Tom Tierney

We will open up for submissions to the Musicals Series in late May - check back.
