 Testimonials
" Double Edge Theatre's artistic vision encourages people to wake up, in every sense, with their brains and bodies and spirits. Within this company, there is a space for self-exploration and expression unequaled in any other theatre."
- Seth Bockley, Fall '03
" Next semester I'm directing a piece that is inspired by my work at Double Edge. In fact, I've taken so much of Double Edge with me, I see it in my work every day. The training has helped me develop an enormous specificity in artistic communication across the visual, writing, and theater disciplines. I just want to thank you again for helping me start this journey. It wasn't until I got to Bard that I understood how much Double Edge gave me."
- Sarah Loucks, Spring ‘09
