Artist Quote by Susan Stroman

![“I feel the theatre is the most unique one of all [the arts] for collaboration. I feel very fortunate to be in a field where I really do get to have long conversations with the visual artists, the actors, the musicians. It's all art forms rolled into one and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it.” quote by Susan Stroman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/456/susan-stroman-28704_actors_i-feel-the-theatre-is-the-most-unique-on_2960285.jpg)
