“Whenever I see an article by you in BackStage I get so excited and I want to turn to someone, anyone, and say “Hey – this woman rocks!”
Morris Nash, actor
“You won’t believe it but I was going through some articles and notes from the past that I put aside to help me once I got to L.A., and I just found an article published back in a May 2006 issue of BackStage that guess who wrote! YOU! It is so cool – I am so grateful to be here and learning from you.”
Victoria Marton, actor
“I read your database article yesterday in BackStage. Thanks! It was yet another push that I needed to get all of my data – which has been sitting on my computer for months – into ACT!”
Joni Bovill, actor / singer-songwriter
