"Thank you for providing a venue where we can be visible, where we can learn, where we can share, and learn real-life lessons in our experiences here as well. This taught me a lot about what the experience of theatre means. There’s such an importance of sharing truth, whether it good, bad, or ugly. You never really realize how it impacts the audience and how it illuminates. I’m just real grateful to be a part of a community that can share those experiences. There’s so many wonderful shows, so many wonderful actors that come through Roxy’s. I’m humbled to be in the midst. "

"Working with Rick is a dream for his teams because he has an opinion, is faithful to a vision, craves collaboration, loves process, knows what actors need, is honest about his expectations... and those of his audience."

"Thank you Rick for believing in me when a lot of other people didn’t. Thank you for letting me play Celie when a lot of other bigger women wouldn’t get the opportunity. You changed my life."
