Valetta Anderson won the 2006 Essential Theatre Playwriting Award for her play, Leaving Limbo. After that show’s premiere in the 2006 Play Festival she had this to say about her experience:

The Essential Theatre was the essential ingredient in furthering my career as a playwright and expanding my voice into film by providing the one thing that is missing from most new play’s development process, namely a full production. Without that essential production, “Leaving Limbo” would be as unrealized as a pre-digital era photograph languishing on a developed but not printed roll of film.
