Testimonials from Prior Interns
"This internship has taught me so much about theatre and about myself; about art and about people. Overall it was an unforgettable experience. The internship truly cemented my future in theatre. Before this summer, I had no real exposure to theatre. I was just beginning to develop a passion for it. But now, after this experience, I am certain that it is what I am meant to do." ... Alison Blumenfeld
"Thank you for everything I've learned from you [Sandra], Edith, and the other interns. The support system and vibrant atmosphere is inspiring and rare in this city. The playwriting workshops really helped me develop as a writer. I learned invaluable lessons I will remember the rest of the my life." ... Kathryn Shapiro
"The Creating Your Own Musical Workshop taught me a valuable lesson: that I can depend on others to help me through difficult times. Having nearly zero musical background, I felt like a non-swimmer cast into a lake. I thought I would drown, but each intern in my group helped me along. The great thing is that as individuals we were all floundering, but together we created something wonderful and magical. Thank you June and Sandra for this amazing experience. I will never forget it." .... Julian Charles Leong

"Sandra thank you for showing me what is possible for a professional woman. You are a model of how to translate one's values into meaningful community building and mentorship.
