Theater Workshop Testimonials
Acting for Playwrights

Teen Theatre Troupe, Orange MA
"I am Candace Cross, the Children's Librarian at the Wheeler Memorial Library where I work with a group of teenage thespians. So far this group has written three original plays and is working on its fourth. I feel strongly that this group would not have been as successful or lasted as long without the expert input of Jonathan Mirin and Piti Theatre. I have no experience coaching or staging theatre and would not have been able to stick with these projects without the support of Piti Theatre. Since 2011 the longstanding collaboration with Piti Theatre has encouraged the teens and myself." - Candace Lee Cross, former Children's Librarian, Wheeler Memorial Library, Orange
