- TPS supports the writing process by creating an environment for taking risks and reaching outside the box.
- TPS is definitely a community that recognizes the importance of the journey. Starting from scratch, writing a play, and then sharing pages every month highlighted the idea of journey for me. The freedom to follow your gut was supported and applauded.
- TPS encourages the artist in the room by providing a place to breathe and listen without pressure or judgment.
