• Our former teacher and forever spiritual guide Lisa D’Amour gave us a shout out in American Theatre magazine:

  "I really am feeling like it’s the time to try and forge your way in smaller theatres—to start your own theatre company in a smaller city. So when I’m teaching playwrights, I’m often pointing them to playwrights who have started their own theatre companies, whether it’s someone like Young Jean Lee or 13P. Students that I taught at Hunter immediately left and created a company called the Omnivores, and they’ve produced two plays here in New York at the Brick."
