“I was really touched and overwhelmed by the workshop I attended. I saw both the way story could unite…neighborhoods…and felt how important it was in the work I do as a mediator. I expected to come to contribute time and energy and instead was vastly contributed to. Thank you so much for the stimulation and the experience. I loved it.” –Christine Carlsten (board, event participant, event volunteer)

“I love that [the play] was about home and the west end. It was strong, powerful” -audience member
