"One of Writers' biggest strengths and, I believe, one reason it has been so successful is its people. The staff, the artists, the management, the box office, everyone is great at their jobs. There is a kindness, a cohesion and a professionalism that permeates everyone, and it makes me feel part of a team and very well taken care of as an artist. We are all working to put up a great piece of theatre, and that takes an awful lot of trust. It's so nice to feel trusted."
