The workshop of  Foundlings at U of L last summer was wonderfully helpful
for me as a playwright.  I came out of the workshop with a stronger, more
focused script and I think the students came away with a great hands-on
experience of developing a new play, which is what a lot of the work in
Canadian theatre is all about. –Kathleen McDonnell, playwright, Toronto
