"I just love y'all. It is a masterclass. It is perfect for getting to know new Writers."
"I'm an avid theater attendee and see almost every show here in Portland. There is nothing to compare with the Play Reading Club. It stands alone, as the experience of hearing unknown plays read by not only actors but also by regular untrained fellow audience members is such a lovely treat. We all love to hear new stories told to us in such a pure form. It delights the child in all of us!"
